It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at Book Date . Then, Jen at Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee at Unleashing Readers decided to give it a focus on kid’s literature. This is a chance for bloggers to recap their week of reading and share their plans for the next reading adventures they will take. Visit the host blogs for a list of great blogs participating in this meme and a whole bunch of titles to add to your to-read lists.
Finished This Week:
I finished the historical novel, Watergate by Thomas Mallon this week. It was quite a departure from the type of books that I usually enjoy. I did like learning more about a scandal and a time in the history of our country that I really didn’t know much about. The book was interesting in the way the author imagined how each key actor must’ve been feeling in an omniscient narration style. If you enjoy political intrigue and historical fiction you will enjoy this book.
Books I am Currently Reading:
I am reading The Rose Legacy by Jessica Day George in anticipation of an author visit this May. This book will be coming out on May 1, 2018. So far, it is intriguing and magical.
I am also reading Business Boutique by Christy Wright. I really enjoy listening to her podcast and am enjoying learning more about how to put together a business plan. This is a practical guide that any woman who is putting together a business should have.
I am also reading the first book in the Petra Delicado series by Alicia Gimenez Bartlett. I like to read in Spanish to keep up my fluency. This is quite a long series and they are mysteries so I am hoping that I like them in order to have lots of material to get through. So far, the book is okay.
What’s Next?
I am not sure what I will read next. I am on Spring Break this week and may take most of my time for writing and working on my new website and my doTERRA business. I am sure there will be at least one more novel that I will get to though. It will depend on my mood this week.
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
I didn’t know about Watergate, an interesting time in our history. I like the idea that you shared of showing different views. I’ll look for The Rose Legacy, keep it on my list, Andrea. Have a great break!
Nice variety of books. I didn’t know Jessica Day George had a new one coming out. Enjoy your Spring Break. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
I’m really looking forward to hearing about The Rose Legacy. Enjoy your spring break! 🙂
I might have to check out Watergate. I’ve been trying out books about parts of recent history that I don’t know much about. See what I’ve been reading at Girl Who Reads
Watergate sounds like my kind of book. I remember learning about the scandal in high school. Enjoy your spring break. Have a great week!
A good bunch of books. I really like Jessica Day George’s books — you are lucky to get to see her.
When I studied a foreign language I liked reading middle grade books to get up to speed. I’ve been away too long now — I’d have to start over with picture books now.
I so envy you that you can read in Spanish. I am just imagining Don quixote being read in its original form, and I grow green with envy. 🙂
