"All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape."

It's Monday!! What Are You Reading?



This great meme is hosted by Sheila at

It's a great way to start the week and
find out what other bloggers are reading.
My To-Be-Read pile has grown to an
unbelievable number thanks to this meme.

One thing I learned this past week is that Spring, just when the weather gets nice, is NOT the time to do a Read-A-Thon.  Baseball games, Spring Cleaning, and playing with my grandson took away reading time and I did horrible at the Read-A-Thon.

Sidne,
At first I thought The Social Climbers Network was going to be Chick Lit with a little twist, but it is not at all. It is turning into a really eerie look at the life of a peculiar family.

Three books a week is good, if I get three read in a week I am a happy reader. That was my goal in the Read-A-Thon last week and I was so happy I accomplished my goal.

I just received Bullet Work in the mail last week, however, I don't know when I will get around to reading it. Maybe in a few weeks.

HI Lori,

Enjoy your reading week.
Am hoping to get back to normal here after a month of holidays be it public holidays or our own family hol. Never thought I would crave a normal week so much :)

The wonderful thing about looking at what others are reading, is being introduced to so many books I haven't even heard of :-)

Julie P said...

I love your Monday posts and always look forward to them!

Ha- Lost and Fondue - cute title. I have been wanting to read Kate Carlisle. Are her books stand alone or series?
Have a great week!

Crystal (I totally paused!) said...

I haven't even tried to do any readathons recently, just too much going on! I've been trying to do my yardwork too :)

These look like good books. I really like the art work for the cover on "Murder Under Cover." BTW I usually only get two books read a week. I week is full of other things that rob my time. GREAT post!
