It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday

 

Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.  We share books that we've read over the past week and those we hope to read this week.  

Last Week:
I didn't get a whole lot of reading accomplished this week due to Halloween festivities but I managed to squeeze in:

  •  The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley
This Week:
I'd like to read some of these suckers:

  • Leisl & Po by Lauren Oliver
  • The Informationist by Taylor Stevens
  • Oh, and I need to reread The Book Thief for Btown Booksters club!

Mailbox Monday is a touring meme where book bloggers share their bookish acquisitions from the week prior.  It is hosted this month by Savvy Verse and Wit.

This past week I received some fantastic goodies!

The Urban Farm Handbook by Annette Cottrell, Joshua McNichols

    I am interested in The Rose Garden and the Kitchen Counter Cooking School. Both very different books but both have caught my eye.

    Okay, I'm extremely curious about The Tiger's Wife. I really am. Sooo....read very quickly and lemme know...

    Also, I am still in shock and disbelief that my husband DNF'd The Book Thief.

    Liesl & Po looks interesting. I'm not sure I liked The Tiger's Wife, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you thought.

    Wonder if The Urban Farm method would work in NYC - only if I could grow everything on my windowsill!

    Enjoy your books!
