What about you? What does your reading week look like this week? Whatever it is, happy reading and have a good week!
I'd be interested to know about The Tenth Circle. I haven't read the book but I've seen it around at a friend's.
Happy reading this week!
I recently read The Diva Paints the Town. Although it wasn't my favorite in the series (I thought there were too many characters to keep track of), I still am enjoying it. I need to read The Diva Cooks a Goose soon.
@ Leeswammes – I am hoping to finish the review for The Tenth Circle this week…it was really quite a compelling book.
@Shon – I have The Diva Cooks a Goose and am hoping to get to it soon!
I loved The Lady Elizabeth. I hope you enjoy it too.I really want to read Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Paris Wife.
Happy Reading!
@Misha Thanks Misha…I am really enjoying The Lady Elizabeth…it's the first historical fiction book that I've listened to. I just started Major Pettigrew and so far it's really good.
I am reading "Salting Roses" by Lorelle Marinello, today. Haven't decided what I will read next.
@Gigi Ann I haven't heard of Salting Roses…will have to read your review of it once you finish.
I'm reading The Paris Wife right now…along with Freedom. One during the day, the other at night.
Enjoyed The Last Time I Saw You…but then, I love all Berg novels.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
@Creations by Laurel-Rain Snow This is the first Elizabeth Berg book I've picked up…I've heard great things about her books so I am looking forward to reading this one.
3 books at a time … I envy those who can read more than one and keep the plot straight 🙂
@Kah Woei It helps that one is an audio book. Cleopatra is great, but slow-going so I only read a little at a time.
I will be listening to Cleopatra and would love to read The Paris Wife.
I've heard lots of good things about the Major Pettigrew book. I ought to add it to TBR list…but who knows when I'll get to it.
Here's my Monday: myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/02/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_21.html
I need to read Laura Childs – I have tow of her books and I just have not got to them yet.
Lots of lovely history. Hope you're enjoying Cleopatra – I'm looking forward to that one.
Have a great reading week!
Great reading week. I just got Daisy Bellamy on audio. Hope you enjoyed it.
I'm interested to see what you thought of The Tenth Circle. I really liked it….
Wow, you have some nice reads! Thanks for coming by!

I'm interested in Cleopatra, I've heard good things about this one. I have had Major Pettigrew sitting on my ipod for months and it never interests me when I'm getting ready to pick my next book… I can't explain why… I'm sure I will love it.
have a great week
Reading Miss Julia speaks her mind.
enjoy ur reading week

Kristin, this is a very impressive "reading list". I hope you're enjoying and/or learning from each of these books! 🙂
I keep seeing Cleopatra everywhere and it's tempting me like crazy. Are you reading or listening? I've seen a lot of people listening to the audiobooks.
I only finished three books because I was working on papers for school. Come see what I'm reading now.
I just recognized The Tenth Circle. If I am not mistaken it has been also translated in my language. I plan to read it someday.
I've got Haunting Jasmine in my TBR pile! I need to go check out your review to see what you thought!
Thanks so much for stopping by earlier! Have a fabulous reading week!
I've heard great things about The Paris Wife, hope you enjoy it! I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it 🙂
I love Alison Weir, she's so fantastic. And I'm really wanting to read Cleopatra – can't wait to read what you think of it.
Thanks for stopping in to see me this week. I'm late but finally getting to return the visit. I enjoy Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I'll look at your review on that one. I'm also interested in Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.
Hope you had a good week.
