It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Last week I finished Not Quite Paradise: An American Sojourn in Sri Lanka, by Adele Barker (click the title for my review).  This was the first book I won through Library Thing's Early Reviewers program, and I was so excited to be able to review it for Beacon Press!


This week I'm working on the second book sent to me through the Early Reviewers: Mrs. Kaputnik's Pool Hall and Matzo Ball Emporium, by Rona Arato.


I also just picked up The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells (I watched the 2002 movie this weekend) and The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, from the library on a whim, and they're both sitting on my nightstand begging me to pick them up.




Lots of good reviews will be coming!  What are you reading this week?

    I've always meant to read The Time Machine. It's one of those classics that I'll eventually get to... someday. :)

    Oh! We both received copies of the same Early Reviewers book from Library Thing. I probably won't be able to get to it for another week, but I'm interested to see what you think.
    I've always wanted to read The Time Machine and for some reason was the only person ever to not finish The Book Thief. :o)

    Hope you have a fabulous reading week!

    I gave the Lightening Thief set to my 7 year-old for Christmas and he loved it. My daughter took him to see the movie and now she is going to red it too. I actually read Sea of Monsters first (hate doing that but it was for our area wide book battle, Now I need to go back and read the first book. Have a great week reading, and thanks for stopping by my blog. I love comments they are like hugs they make me smile.

    I envy you your first read of The Book Thief. It immediately became my favorite book and one of those books that I wish I could read "for the first time" over and over again if you know what I mean. Enjoy your books! And congrats on winning the books on LT!

    I forgot to pop over here last week :-(

    I've heard good things about The Book Thief. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it. Same with The Time Machine, though I may have read it when I was younger (it's been a while, lol). Great list!
