It’s Monday What Are You Reading?

It’s Monday What Are you Reading is the perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.

Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier
A Stitch Before Dying by Anne Canadeo
American Rose by Karen Abbott
Rebel Buddha by Dzogchen Ponlop
A Lonely Death by Charles Todd *My favourite book of the week

Visit next Monday to see if I managed to accomplish my reading goals.

The Sunday Salon (TSS: 1/2/11)

Life: So far 2011 is going very well. I am looking forward to all the new books coming out in 2011!

Family Update: The five of us have been spoiled by the two week holiday which ends this evening. Our oldest has heard from the first of 5 Universities and was accepted. It is my first choice, alas not his. We have several more months to wait to hear from the other 4 schools.

Saturday Night: was delightful. All five of us were together the first day of the New Year. We spent the day and evening playing board games, watching DVDs and having an all around great time.

Read and Reviewed: I read and reviewed 8 books most of which I queued to post before the holidays so they would not interfere with family time. The others I read wile the guys were out as I did not want to lose any family time.

If you do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list for the week, all my reviews are up and as usual I love comments.

Today I will be reading: I probably will not be reading today but if I do I really want to finally read (yes the same book I tried to read every Sunday in December 2010) The Green Age of Asher Witherow by M. Allen Cunningham.

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.
