It’s Monday! What are you reading? is a great weekly meme hosted by Sheila over at Book Journey. Each week bloggers are encouraged to share their reading plans for the week.
Since it’s National Poetry Month, I usually post a video of some sort but I’m having a little blogging emergency. One of my resolutions for 2012 was to post at least 100 reviews this year. I am so behind. It doesn’t help that the longer I stay away from reviewing books, the harder it is to get back to it. So I’m writing this post to state publicly that if I don’t post three reviews this week, I will give away three more books. It’s important to me to write more often, so hopefully this is the push that I need since I really want to read every book I own.
This week I’m reading:
- The Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett (currently reading)
- Postcards: True Stories that Never Happened by Jason Rodridguez
- The Perils of Morning Coffee by Alexander Mccall Smith
- Food Rules by Michael Pollan
- One book off of my tbr list
Postcards, Morning Coffee, and Food Rules are all less than 100 pages so I should be able to finish them in no time. What are you reading this week? What do you do when you have trouble writing reviews? Any tips?
Pollan is a favorite of mine and even though this one is essentially a short replication of work he has published previously, it is still Pollan. And you have me wondering if Wyrd Sisters would treat be better than Weird Sisters.
Happy reading!
I haven’t read any books by Pollan, but have heard good things about his books. I do hope that you are able to reach your goals, and that you get all your books read for the week! I am reading Narcopolis. It’s very strange, but wonderful as well!
It is hard to get back into the swing of things, but you can do it.
Mini reviews! I need to do a post of them now, actually, because I am also behind.
I read In Defense of Food by Pollan. Hope your book is just as good. Have a great week!
I cannot believe i forgot my book at home. So I will try to read an ebook which is hard in sunshine on the iPad.
Postcards sounds really good. Enjoy your books!
I know what you mean; the longer you wait, the harder it is to start again. I love the subtitle of Postcards!
Postcards looks really fantastic, I must check it out! I hope you manage to catch up with your reading and blogging. I’m new to your blog, but it looks brilliant.

I get so far behind with my reviews that sometimes I never end up writing them. I’d say to write really short reviews or responses to what you read and that way you can cover everything and get caught up.
