This is my first time participating in Sheila's Monday reading meme at Book Journey. I'm always curious to see what my fellow bloggers and friends are reading and usually add to my already extensive To Be Read lists and piles! So I thought I would join in sharing my reading week.
This past week was kind of slow for me in the reading department. I finished the following books (click on title to read the review)
Dead Letter Office by Kira Snyder
Burn Out by Traci Hohenstein
I'm still listening to Eve by Iris Johansen every chance I get. . .I'm dying to find out what in the world happened to her murdered child Bonnie. This story has been going on for over a decade! Tell me already!
This week's reading list~
So far Trigger Point has been an intellectual thriller that I need a Wall Street expert to explain the finer points to me. . .it's good, but extremely intellectual ~ I have to pay close attention to every word or I'm lost in a NY minute!
When a book starts off with When my mother was angry with me, which was often, she said, 'The Devil led us to the wrong crib.' then you know you are in for a heck of a ride! Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal is a memoir unlike any other.
Just received The Rebel Wife in the mail and can't wait to get started! Brimming with atmosphere, and edgy suspense, The Rebel Wife presents a young widow trying to survive in the violent world of reconstruction Alabama, where the old gentility masks a continuing war fueled by hatred, treachery, and still-powerful secrets.
I am so ready for a fun, Southern, sassy read and Diary of a Mad Fat Girl sounds like it will fit the bill! And is the cover simply not too much! Graciela "Ace" Jones is a sassy high school teacher, known in her small town of Bugtussie, Mississippi, for an outsize presence and a mouth to match. But this time that big mouth might get her into big trouble. . .
What are you planning on reading this week?

ReplyDeleteWhy Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? sounds like a book I'd love! I'm very excited about The Rebel Wife!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun array! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Eve, Quinn, and Bonnie. I waited until I could get all three books at the same time from the library so I could read them one after the other. LOVED IT!!! I couldn't put them down. I hope you are enjoying them.
