What Are You Reading Monday?

I am trying a new Meme created by J. Kaye at J. Kaye’s Book Blog saying what books I read last week and what books I plan to read this week.

Last Week I Read:

  • Cross Country by James Patterson- The Dragon Slayer is back! This time he is on an adventure which takes him to Nigeria to catch a Tiger. Patterson branches out in this novel in a direction I found refreshing.
  • BoneMan’s Daughter by Ted Dekker – was an intriguing read about redemption and the balance of good and evil. I enjoyed reading this novel, however, I found myself finding several of the characters annoying, which made it difficult to care about them one way or another. All in all it was a good read. I chose to read this one for the R.I.P. IV Challenge.
  • The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen -I enjoy an excellent mystery thriller and this novel did not disappoint. I was unable to put this book down.
  • The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist – This book is not the genre I typically read, but based on other reviews I had to read. There have been similar, potentially better written dystopias as of late. I still found The Unit to be an intriguing, if not disturbing novel and one that wold make a fun book to discuss.

This Week I am hoping to read:

  • Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
  • The Ice Chorus by Sarah Stonich (this is for a review)
  • Footsteps In the Dark by Georgette Heyer for the R.I.P. IV Challenge

Check back next Monday to see how well, or not so well, I accomplish my reading goals.
