It's Monday! What Are You Reading?




A weekly event hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey




List the books completed last week, the books currently being read and the books you plan to read this week.


Last week I completed

Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier
Relics of the Dead by Ariana Franklin
Evidence by Jonathan Kellerman
The Italian Woman by Jean Plaidy
The Moon Spun Round by Elinor Gill
The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent

Reviews still to come on two of those and Blood Royal by Vanora Bennett


Currently reading

The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova


Hoping to get that finished before our daughter and her family arrive on Wednesday - they'll be staying until the weekend so reading time will be seriously limited and it'll only be an hour in bed before sleep so nothing too heavy.
These two are going to be due back at the library very soon so probably the necessary choice.


I hope all those who took part in the read-a-thon had a great time and have lots of titles for their lists this week. Keeping my fingers crossed that the next one won't fall in the school holidays and I can participate.

Have a wonderful reading week!

  4. I love the cover for The Shifting Fog, very unique. You read so many books this week, that's fantastic! I hope you enjoy your current read.

  5. I think I got through more than usual last week because they were quicker, shorter reads and I was conscious of this coming week when it will be the opposite.

  7. Came over here from the Linky list -

    I've read a few of Juliet Marillier's books. The first few that she published. Heart's Blood - very interesting title. Haven't heard of the others.

    I'm reading Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs, and just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Very good book.

    Happy Reading!

  10. What did you think of Heart's Blood? Juliet Marillier is one of my favorite authors. The Kate Morton book is on my TBR list. I've heard it is excellent. I hope you enjoy your reading.

  13. I had to click and add you to the blogs I'm following, even though I have too many already! We like so many of the same authors. Shifting Fog and 9 Dragons were excellent!

    The Swan Thieves is a bit different than I expected but I'm really enjoying it.

    Christina - I loved Heart's Blood. I can't imagine not loving one of her books - magical writer.

  21. I love Juliet Marillier and Beauty & the Beast, so I'm excited to read Heart's Blood. I didn't love Heretic's Daughter, so I'll be interested to see what you think of that one. Enjoy your books!
