It's Monday ...

Sheila hosts the meme here: http://bookjourney.net/

I'm eleven books behind on my goodreads challenge, apparently. Hrm.

Anyway. I had a reasonably productive week last week, I think. I read Fox Forever, which is the last book in the Jenna Fox Chronicles and it was a satisfying end to the series. I highly, highly recommend The Adoration of Jenna Fox, and while I didn't like the two sequels quite as much, I did enjoy them.

I also read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for Sheila's Harry Potter readalong. I just finished watching the movies, and intended to re-read the books after, so the readalong was very timely.

I also read The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison and by "read" I mean "inhaled it in two days and then made whale noises into a cushion." It's so so SO GOOD.

Right now, I'm reading The Enchanted, by Rene Denfeld, which is good so far, and also short, which is what I need at the moment.

Up next, of course, is The Chamber of Secrets.

What are you reading?

    Enjoy the Harry Potter read-a-long! You can't go wrong, no matter how many times you've read them . . .

    I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I haven't read any Harry Potter. I tried to read the first and just struggled with it.

    I'm not much of a fan of the fantasy genre though (good ole' crime fiction / thrillers for me!) ;-)

    I'd like to find the time to re read HP, I inhaled them so quickly the first time around.

    Happy reading!

    ISN'T Goblin Emperor good? I absolutely hated the book by that author that I read when I first started blogging, and I was braced for the worst with The Goblin Emperor. But it was excellent, instead!

    Kirsty: Oh, that sounds like it would be amazing fun!! Hi, welcome! :D

    Leila: Exactly, you really can't!

    Deb: Wouldn't that be great!!

    Deborah: As a non-fantasy reading friend of mine says, it's just not your genre :-)

    Shelley: The hold up great to re-reading :D

    Ana: It was so so so so so so so great!!!!!!! I LOVED it.

    Jenny: IT's the only book of hers that I've read but i+it was so great.

    I hope all the books are good. I don't know any of them but Harry Potter. I haven't read any Harry Potter books, though.

    ENJOY your reading week.

    Love your header. Beautiful blog.
