It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.
Spring finally seems to have come to the Northeast and I am able to enjoy sitting on my enclosed porch in the afternoon sun and read! While last week was busy with workshops and trainings for work, I was still able to get quite a bit of reading in. Hopefully the trend continues as my tbr piles aren’t getting smaller fast enough!

What about you? What does your reading week look like this week? Whatever it is, happy reading and have a good week!
You had a great week! I am not making plans for this week. I'm going to choose from the stack based on my mood. My Monday Report is here.
@Kathy Martin It seems as if all I'm doing lately is reading review books…I'm hoping to get ahead so that I can sneak in one or two of my books!
I can not wait to be able to sit outside and read! Still a bit chilly here in Minnesota and it is annoying how long it is taking to warm up… we had one day tat reached the high 50's so far this year…. I was thrilled – I went on a bike ride 🙂
Your books look good – have a fantastic week!
@Sheila (Bookjourney) I love sitting outside reading…it's so peaceful! Plus, I love going for walks with my puppy.
I love Already Home it was such a great book. I did a couple of reading outside days last week and aiming for some more this week.
@Felicia the Geeky Blogger I am about 50 pages in so far and it's great! I'm hoping to be outside this week, too, reading.
Looks like a great reading week. Its almost warm enough to sit outside and read today – except there is a lot of wind cooling it off! I will have to settle with sitting inside beside an open window!
I didn't participate this week because my blog is undergoing some major changes but I will be back next week!
@Bonnie I saw that…I'm anxious to see what the new look will be!!!
I really enjoyed The Hundred Secret Senses, hope you do too! I've got a few Orange Prize longlisters lined up, but secretly I'm waiting for the shortlist to be announced tomorrow, list.too.long 😉
@Chinoiseries Hundred Secret Senses will by my first Amy Tan book – but I've heard great things about her books. Will have to check out the shortlist to see what's on it.
Looks like you had a great week! I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things…but not quite up to what I had been doing. Happy reading this coming week!
Here's my Monday: myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_11.html
@Bev Hankins I seem to go through spurts, too. I have had a few weeks where I was able to read four or five books, but those weeks seem to be few and far between!
