Here’s a new (to me) blog hop
hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

I don’t think I will be joining every Monday but maybe once a month.
So here is what I have read this month:
This was interesting. The stories of people who started over.
I have actually met one of the women profiled and a friend of mine works for her.
I reviewed this one here .
This was a most wonderful book. You must read it!
There is a prologue and four parts.
It about Alice Stone, Bobby Banks, and Amelia Brighton.
All with different stories that intertwine.
This was ok. Not my favorite this month.
Another must read!
A father makes the wrong decision to protect his son.
He makes the split second decision for all the right reasons but it is still wrong.
I couldn’t help but like the characters…except for one who was anything but likable.
I pretty much read this in one sitting…with breaks for laundry and stuff.
Another ok. A bit like Marlo Thomas’ book
except I never met anyone who is in it.
Right now I am reading
Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen
and I have
Bad Wolf by Nele Neuhaus
on the table to read next.
Reading AZTEC by Gary Jennings. I am mesmerized being transported 500 years to that culture. What is astonishing is how can this author know all this stuff without having lived back then? It is much more than a well researched historical novel.
He sounds like the best of storytellers…or he is a time traveler.
Heart Wide Open looks good.
I bet Still Life With BreadCrumbs is good. ENJOY!!
Have a great reading week.
Nice blog.

My It’s Monday, What Are You Reading
Thanks, Elizabeth. Heart Wide Open was good but not a favorite. Still Life With Bread Crumbs was quite good.
I read twisted sisters. I really enjoyed because I love Jen. But it wasn’t my favorite of her books by far
This was the first of hers I read. I always give an author a second chance to get me as a “follower”. So I will read another…any suggestion?
I enjoyed Anna Quindlen’s book – hope you do too…
I liked it. Jim was definitely a keeper.
Sounds like a good reading month for you. I’m still reading books that have been sitting on my shelves too long ~ right now, books on writing.
I read about 4 books a month. I don’t have a TV so that helps.
I’ve got A Place At The Table on my shelf and need to get it off! Happy reading.
Read it now! It is a wonderful book.
Anna Quindlen is a good writer. I’ve read some of her other books, but not Still Life with Bread Crumbs. I hope you are enjoying it!
I liked the book. I don’t think it is for everyone…it was a times a bit tedious in the day to day details but over all it was good.
That’s a lot of reading for one month. I’ve read about four books this month. About my average.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Four is about my average but there were a few days this month that I read for hours.
I can’t imagine how you keep up with everything but thanks for the reviews. Always good to hear opinions / critiques of books. I have read only two books in the past month–but none of the above.
Well, I only work part-time and don’t have a TV and a very dusty condo.
And I don’t work at all and I have a dusty open concept space. Dusty.
Dust can be useful…you can write yourself a note when you can’t find a pen and paper.
This cracked me up. Always see the positive. I’ll keep that in mind. The only thing is I’m not sure about kitty footprints. 😀
I have plenty of those!
Sigh. I pushed the broom around. Now I must wait for more kitty prints. 😀
I DID go out and buy an industrial mop to sweep up the place. I guess standing it in the corner won’t do any good? Maybe I should have bought two…
I read so much it is inceasingly hard to keep up! Looks like an intwresting hop.
It amazes me how many books people can read in a week. Some people read 3 or more at a time. I pretty much read one then start another.
I do what you do, and consequently don’t review every one of them.
