It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, is the 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.
I am so excited that the mini-Bloggiesta
is this coming weekend. I definitely have quite a few things I need to get done on my blog. I always end up feeling so rejuvenated about blogging after these events! Do let me know if you will be participating – I love seeing what everyone is working on.
In other news, I will finally be getting around to watching the first season of Downton Abbey – I know I am really late to this party. Luckily, my dad got all three seasons and sent me the first two – he’ll send the third when he finishes watching it. So how many of you watch this show?

I love Downton Abbey..best show ever..and I really don't like television all that much, but I tune in for that show. Like you, I am also reading 'Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker' and I will be back to see what you think. Have a great week.

I just started Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker last night and am really enjoying it so far. I'll be looking forward to reading your thoughts on it, too!
What a lovely list of books! I recently started watching Downton Abbey too and I'm now half way through series three. I love it and I'm glad I watched them all in one go!
Have a lovely week 🙂
I'm looking forward to watching them all together, too – plus it will give me plenty of time to get caught up on some of my crochet projects!
I've been seeing a lot about Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker too. I might have to check that one out. The Typewriter Girl intrigues me and I loved Evanovich's early writing. Have a great week! Oh, and Downton Abbey – I haven't jumped on board yet but I am darn close to doing it.
Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker is really good so far. The Typewriter girl was ok – my review for that will be up on Thursday with a giveaway.
I an a huge fan of Downton Abbey. It is the only show I watch anymore.
I look forward to your reviews of The Typewriter Girl and Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker. I have The Typewriter Girl for review but have read mixed reviews of it.
I didn't know about Mini Bloggiesta! I may have to participate as I definitely need to update my blog for 2013. Have a great week!
I'm looking forward to watching it – I've heard such great things about it.
The Typewriter Girl was ok…my review will be up Thursday. Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker is really good so far!
You have been busy, busy, busy!
My It's Monday! What Are You Reading?! is here. Hope you will stop by!
Yes…it's been so cold outside, all I want to do is stay indoors, snuggle under a blanket with a huge cuppa tea and read!
I've missed the last few Janet Evanovich books. Need to catch up.
They are so funny! I am determined to be caught up by the end of the year – and I'm trying to do them all as audio!
I'm looking forward to the mini-bloggiesta, too!
And I must start reading more of the Stephanie Plum books….enjoy your week.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I'll be looking forward to seeing your to-do list…seeing what everyone else is doing always makes my list longer, but well worth it!
I love Downton Abbey! Don't begin watching unless you have plenty of time because you will be hooked and want to keep watching! I was late to the party and watched season 1 and 2 days before season 3 started! Have a great week.
That's ok…I have a few crochet projects I need to get done so I could use the time!
The Typewriter Girl is on my long TBR list!
It was ok…my review will be up later this week with a giveaway!
Downton Abby is wonderful! It's one of the few shows on television that is comparable to a good book–excellent characters, great plot development, and many memorable moments. Enjoy!
