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.
Well, the first week of the new year has come and gone and I didn’t get too much reading done. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of what’s to come this year! Luckily Bout of Books 6.0 is starting today and I am hoping to get in lots of reading time during this read-a-thon, which goes from today til Sunday, January 13th. I have quite a few tours coming up, plus I really want to make a huge dent in reading my own books this year.

Interested to see what you think of 'The Winter Palace'. I enjoyed reading that one last year.

I have about 100 pages left and am absolutely loving it!
Hope you enjoy your books this week. I love seeing all the challenge progress bars on your sidebar – I'm listing my challenges tomorrow, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that's doing so many 🙂
I love having the progress bars on my page – although right now it's making me anxious that I haven't finished any books yet this year!
I enjoy Eileen Goudge books…there are still a few I need to read. I also enjoy Joshilyn Jackson and want to read A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty.
Have a great week!
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I haven't read anything by her in a while…The Diary was great! A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty is the first book I read by Joshilyn Jackson…I loved it and definitely want to read more by her.
I really like Nancy Thayer, but I have not read Summer House. I will have to put that on my list – let me know what you think of it.
It's pretty good so far. I've found her books are great on audio.
You have some major reading challenges set for 2013! It is really inspiring. I hope you enjoy your current selections!
Happy Reading,
Rebecca @ The Key to the Gate
Yeah…I might have gotten carried away with those, but oh well. Hopefully I will make headway in some of them this week!
A good book week! I'm curious about the Ringwald book.
2 Kids and Tired Books
It was cute…she was just turning 40 when she wrote the book.
I hope you have great success with Bout of Books this week! My audiobook listening is off to a slow start. Have a great week.
I got a ton of listening in yesterday – it pays to be able to work from home and listen while entering data!
Thanks for dropping by and visiting.
I will be back to read your post of blogging goals later today!!
Thanks!
I'm so tempted to sign up to another challenge after seeing all yours! I love the progress bars- I just have a page!
Thanks for bringing the Winter Palace to my attention- I love Russian history so I will be checking it out 🙂
Have a lovely week!
My Weekly Round Up!
I am almost done with Winter Palace and am absolutely loving it! I can't wait for the next book.
I might have gone a bit overboard with the challenges this year, but oh well. It will be fun trying to complete them all!
The Winter Palace is on my tbr stack for 2013, I've heard it's wonderful! Hope you get lots of lovely reading done during Bout of Books 🙂
It's amazing!!! I have about 30 pages left and am having a hard time putting it down. Might be late to work today just so I can finish it.
So many great books! Have a great week!
Thanks, same to you!
I'll have to hop over to your review of the Christmas Cookie Club, I read it last Christmas and thought it was a charming distraction 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Kristin, you have to stop reading all of these WWII novels. I can't resist and my tbr list is expanding exponentially! I hope you enjoy The Kommandant's Girl, though. 🙂
