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 can’t believe that this coming weekend is already Memorial Day Weekend!!! Hopefully the weather will be nice as hubby is sailing in regattas all three days. Despite the fact that my favorite reading spot down at the boat club – the porch overlooking the water – was a casualty of Superstorm Sandy, I still plan on spending my weekend there, reading while hubby is out sailing.
For those of you that live in NY/NJ – have you heard of the event happening at the Princeton Library? On June 7th, they are hosting Beach Reads 2013, where 8 authors will be discussing their latest books and then sharing what they have on their summer reading list. Even though it’s a bit of a hike for me, especially on a Friday evening with all the beach traffic, I am planning to attend. Anyone else going? If you’re thinking about going – let me know as I’d love to meet up with you there!

Looking forward to your views on Cascade! enjoy the week.
I'm looking forward to reading it!
Hope the weather is good for Memorial Day weekend. Enjoy your time!!
So do I!
Hope you enjoy your books this week.
Thanks…they all sound good – hopefully that's the case!
I'd forgotten that this weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Nice. Maybe I can get caught up!
Here's my It's Monday!
This year does seem to be flying by!
I hope you enjoyed Ocean Beach as much as I did…I'll be watching for your review.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I did. Have you read newest book, While We Were Watching Downton Abbey? I have that on my shelf just waiting to be read.
I have always been fascinated by the story of Lady Jane Grey. I can't remember if I read Innocent Traitor.
It is hard to believe Memorial Day is nearly here. I am looking forward to summer! Have a great week 🙂
Innocent Traitor is really good so far – this is the second audio I've done of Alison Weir's books. They're so compelling!
It's supposed to rain here over Memorial Day weekend which will actually allow for lots of quality reading time. Come see my week. Happy reading!
Yes, I suppose it would. I just want to be outside while I get my reading in!
You are so organized! Enjoy your reading this week, Kristin.
Thanks…if only that were the case with the rest of my house!
I am starting the Duffy Brown series sometime this week. It is a book club read for the Cozy Mystery Corner on Goodreads
It's a fun series and I'm looking forward to the next one. Hope you enjoy them!
I would have loved to try to meet up with you in Princeton- a bit of a hike for me up in Morris County, but I need to be in the city that evening.
I would love to hear what the authors say! Hope you have a great weekend.

Too bad you can't make it. I will definitely be doing a post about the evening.
I'm currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer.
I never read any of those books.
The Beach Read's event sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you are able to get to it, and you enjoy it!
I am really looking forward to the Beach Reads event. I am going to do everything to get there!
Enjoy your books! Sounds like we are both going through the Stephanie Plum series. Have a great holiday weekend!
They are fun books – and my goal is to be caught up by the end of the year.
I read a brilliant psychological suspense this week, put me in the mood for suspense thrillers so I must get back to my Tess Gerritsen collection. Beach Reads 2013 sounds great … enjoy!!
The Tess Gerritsen books are one of three series I am hoping to get caught up in this year. Have you seen the tv show of the series – I love it!!!
Princeton is not too far from me! The Beach Reads Event sounds like a blast. Do you have to sign up?
Nope…just show up! I double checked on that as soon as I found out about it. Definitely let me know if you are going to go!
Hi! Hopping by a little late – it's almost Monday again – and a new follower. You had a busy book week! Here's my It's Monday for 5/20.
