A weekly event now hosted by Sheila at One Person's Book Journey
List the books completed last week, the books currently being read and the books you plan to read this week.
This week I finished reading Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks - my review is here.
Then I read The Murderer's Daughters by R S Meyers - mini review and
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. I've decided to read the next two of the Sevenwaters trilogy and review them all together.
The Tudor Rose by Margaret Campbell Barnes - review to come.
Also posted a review of The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.
Currently I'm reading:
Someone Knows My Name
by Lawrence Hill
After that these two are next on the pile but they're both similar looking HF and I like to have some variety so maybe something else will grab my attention.
The Secret of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig
The Rose of Sebastopol by Katherine McMahon
I hope you'll enter my February Giveaway here
Oh, I have been wondering about The Tudor Rose. I'll be looking forward to your review! Hope you enjoy The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, it's one of my favorite series :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone Knows My Name looks wonderful! I am curious what it is about and look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Love Juliet Marillier's books! The others also look very intriguing. Looks as though you're on a historical fiction kick. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Year of Wonders! One of the few books I've re-read. It got a lot more attention after March won so much glory. I think you'll really like Pink Carnation and want to plow through the whole series.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday http://ebogie.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-im-reading-this-monday-2810.html
I love Juliet Marillier too, really enjoyed Wolfskin. I'm off to check out your review of Year of Wonders. Happy reading :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the covers to those books. Authors totally new to me though. I hope you have a great reading week =)
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of books you are reading. I have thought about picking up the Tutor Rose.
ReplyDeleteI have only read one book by Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book, but I would love to read others of hers. I hope that you enjoyed Year of Wonders.

Have a good reading week!
I loved the Sevenwaters Trilogy, the second book was my favourite. Hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThese are unfamiliar authors and titles to me, but I need to investigate them! They look tantalizing.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a good reading week. I've not heard of any of those books, but I'm off to do some research on them :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the books you have coming up this week!
I love historical fiction but I often run to something that isn't my cup of tea! Do you have anything good to recommend?
ReplyDeleteDo visit my site here when you got the time.
Have a pleasant week!
Looks like you read some great books this week. I'll be keeping an eye out for the reviews.
ReplyDeleteHere is what I read last week: http://www.chrissiescorner.co.uk/?p=440
Thank you all for visiting - nothing like waking up on a Tuesday morning to a pile of calling cards left while I sleep.
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of those but I hope you enjoy them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Year of Wonders. I read it a while back, but it was really awesome, and it's one of those books I recommend a lot. I'll be interested in reading your review when you're finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Cat, thanks for stopping by. I ended up starting and finishing Making Rounds with Oscar today. What a great book. Be sure to get to it sooooon!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover of Someone Knows My Name. Isn't that the book that's sold in Canada under the title Book of Negroes or something like that?
ReplyDeleteLynne - its still on order at my library so have to wait until they get it.
ReplyDeleteStephanie - yes, that's right. Don't know why they do this name change thing. Its very good - I recommend.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI came over from OnePerson'sJourney. I'm looking at the cover for Someone Knows My Name, and just the cover looks interesting. I looked it up at the Book Depository, but couldn't find any info on it. What's it about?
Hi Mardel ....... The book has also been published under the name The Book of Negroes so you might have more success looking for it under that name.
ReplyDeleteIt's the story of a young African girl, captured and sold into slavery in the 18th century. The author won the Commonwealth Writers Prize in 2008 - its very good!
I've been wanting to read The Art of Racing in the Rain...i'm off to check out your review :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked Daughter of the Forest...I must read the next one. How did you like the book. I am assuming well enough since you are going to continue on with the series.
ReplyDeleteRead your review of Year of Wonders. Fabulous review...a great reminder to me that this book is on my tbr list and I must movie it up to be read soon.
I hope you have a great reading week!
