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've been on a kind of reading blah lately- call it a bookish malaise if you will.  Anyways, my reading accomplishments have been less than impressive, but here they are:

• Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins (liked it even more than Anna and the French Kiss)!
• halfway through The Informationist but I think I'm giving up...it's not bad, but it's not holding my attention either...I read this because of comparisons to Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy but I just don't find the protagonist as sympathetic as Lisbeth.
• also partially through The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman...but holy cow it's a long book!  It's due back to the library in 2 days - hopefully I can finish it by then!

This Week:

• Leisl & Po by Lauren Oliver
• Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal
• The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
• Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (for the Btown Booksters holiday meeting)

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

This past week I received some fantastic goodies!
