It's Monday -- What Are You Reading?



It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. It's is a weekly event to celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.

A very slow reading week -- lots of PTA prep work to get ready for our BOOK FAIR!  I will be in literary nirvana all week...hope you aren't jealous!

But a few books read (or partially so) are better than nothing!

COMPLETED:

The Rosewood Casket by Sharyn McCrumb (3 out of 5 stars -- entertaining historical fiction/mystery/ghost story)

The Rosewood Casket (Ballad Mystery, #4)

CURRENTLY READING:

Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool (absolutely LOVING this book -- if I could just find the time to read more than a few pages before I fall hopelessly asleep).

UP NEXT:
February is Black History Month, so I think I'm going to start either:

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

OR

Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis (juvenile fiction)

  1. I should read something for black history month too! First I have to get my commitments read (book club selections).

    I never had time to read during the week and this weekend I put books to the side so I could hit the trails (in my new snowshoes)!
