It's Monday! What are you reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Here we get to discuss the books we've finished over the last week and what we'll be working on this week.
Last week I devoured The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. I posted my review for Jonas: Beautiful Dead, book 1 by Eden Maguire as well as an excerpt & book trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith. (If you haven't watched it yet, go check it out. It's one of the better trailers I've seen, production wise.)
I have prepped 3 of my reviews to post this week: The Wrecker by Clive Cussler and Merlin's Harp by Anne Eliot Crompton are posting today and Love Struck by Chantel Simmons will post on Tuesday. I have 3 more reviews to do this week to get caught up again.
This week I will finish Beauvallet by Georgette Heyer. I'm actually really enjoying the story now, having become accustomed to the lingo the more I read it.
I'm also continuing with Shadow of the King by Helen Hollick and have started on Ash by Malinda Lo and Timothy and the Dragon's Gate by Adrienne Kress. My plan was to have a good portion of Shadow of the King finished by now, but just looking at the book, the word tome comes to mind; it will take longer than I thought. Meanwhile, I
What have you accomplished over the last week?

You had a great week. I read Hollick's Pendragon trilogy and could not put the books down. I look forward to your Clive Clussler review, one of my sons is a big fan of his works. Have a great week reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-29.html
I am curious as to what you thought of Merlins Harp. I really had a hard time with it. Looks like good ones happening this week!
Hi Jennifer! I must admit, I've read 14 chapters of Shadow of the King and have only reached page 51! LOL. It's a daunting book but I am enjoying it. And, I've already popped over to your blog and am a new follower now!
Sheila - I've been hearing that alot of people didn't like Merlin's Harp but I suppose these things have to do with frame of mind, level of interest, and, in this case, maybe some background knowledge. Crompton twisted the Arthur story around & if you didn't know some of the original ideas, you'd be left scratching your head, for aure. Did you review it? I'll pop over and check it out...
Looks like you had a good week. I happened upon your site as I was looking for a book recommendation. I think I'll try Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The video trailer is pretty entertaining. Just finished The Lost Symbol...one word review, excellent! This week I'm reading a memoir called "I Promised You Daisies" which is about growing up as a gifted child. It's the second in the trilogy Imperfectly Ordinary.
I'm glad you found me, Betty! I have The Lost Symbol but haven't read it yet. I will soon :-)
I Promised You Daisies sounds very interesting. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Hi Jackie - I Promised You Daisies was an excellent book. I've recommended it to my book club and I'm sure we are going to have lots of good discussion. We relate well to books set in the '60's. The book is very well written and I'll be following this author in the future. 5/5 stars from me!
