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.
Last week I managed to get a quite a few reviews done, but didn’t get that much reading in…it’s always a balance. I am super excited, though, for the start of The Fall into Reading 2011 challenge – this is my second year participating and it’s always so much fun!

What about you? What does your reading week look like this week? Whatever it is, happy reading and have a good week!
I've heard so many good things about The Language of Flowers! I hope you have a great reading week 🙂
I have both The Language of Flowers and The American Heiress on my TBR pile. I enjoyed your review of The Language of Flowers. I am also eager to start the other one while I'm waiting for season two of Downton Abbey.
Have a great week and I hope you enjoy your reading!
@ Chrissie: I absolutely loved The Language of Flowers.
@ Christina: You are the second person to mention Downtown Abbey – and I have no idea what it is – definitely going to be looking into it.
Can't wait to read your review on The Language of Flowers!
I put The Language of Flowers on my TBR list after reading all the positive reviews. Enjoy The American Heiress.
I have heard The Language of Flowers is really good. I have that one to read yet.
