It’s Monday! What are you reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila over at Book Journey.
I’m calling this post my get-my-butt-into-gear edition. I am so behind in almost all aspects of my life since I was suffering from migraines last week. I was able to read was A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. It was an okay read. I didn’t love it like so many others did. I have homework, errands, and tons of reading to catch up on. If I stay migraine-free this week, I’m hoping to read:
- Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt (for my Mock Newbery group)
- Consuming Passions: A Food Obsessed Life by Michael Lee West
- Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
- Leaving a Trace by Alexandra Johnson
- I’m hoping to read at least two more books but I have no idea which ones.
I need to review:
- Eat: The Effortless Weight Loss Solution by Ian K. Smith
- 32 Candles by Ernessa T. Carter
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (I’m not sure. I think I’ll probably re-read it first.)
- Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie by Lauren Redniss
So that’s what I’m hoping to accomplish. What are you reading this week?
The Marie Curie book sounds fascinating to me, and I hope you enjoy it. I am in the middle of The True Memoirs of Little K, and finding myself a little less than enamored of it at this point. The main character has a huge ego, which is one thing I really can’t stand in the books I read. It’s so weird, but when I am reading a book that I am not really pleased with, I sort of get angry and depressed a bit. I guess I am just too temperamental!
Good luck with your goals for the week!
Ok For Now sounds interesting. Have a great week
As celebration for the new Bloggers’ Alliance of Nonfiction Devotees (http://nonfictiondevotees.tumblr.com/), I’m cheering on everyone’s nonfiction reading today. So, yay for Consuming Passions, Switch, Leaving a Trace, Eat, and Radioactive! I’ve started Switch twice but the library wanted it back before I finished. I need to try it again.
I hope you can stay migraine free!!!!
I hope the migraines stay away and let you read:-) I really enjoying The Wednesday Wars, and I’ve heard great things about Okay for Now. I hope you like it!
Okay for Now is so good – it’ll grab you, so it won’t take you long to read it.
I’ll thinking happy head thoughts your way so your migraines stay away!
I hope your week will continue to stay migraine free so you can read!
