It's Monday! What Are You Reading?! 3/18/13

It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journeys. I heard about it from the Teach Mentor Texts blog, which puts a "Picture Books to YA" twist on it. I like to post my MG/YA, adult, and professional reads here!

This Week I'm Diving Into...

Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys. I'm happy to be back to fiction after a diet of nonfiction for several weeks.

I'm also finishing The Language of Flowers for my book club. Love, love, love this beautiful book.

 

What are you getting into this week?

Happy Reading!

This Week I'm Diving Into...

Bomb: The Race to Build -- And Steal -- the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin. Last week was a SLLLOOOWWW reading week for me, so I am still working on this one.

My adult book club is reading The Language of Flowers which I had been eyeing at the bookstore, but I've been trying to cut back on buying (adult) books so I never picked it up. And the wait-list at the library on this one was 30+, but I got my hands on a copy (my lips are sealed as to how...but it's totally legal. Swear.) I'm loving this one so far! I think we'll have a lot to talk about when we get together for this one!

After Bomb, I hope to get into Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys. Just look at that cover.

Also, these PD books....

It's THIRSTday! 3/7/13

Thirst Day is a meme started by Dave Etkin over at Eat the Book. He's got all kinds of fun stuff over there!

This week I'm still getting into Bomb: The Race to Build -- and Steal -- the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin and sipping some water! The book is so exciting, I have to keep the drink tame.

Happy Reading (and sipping)!

Last Week I Dived Into...

Trapped by Marc Aronson, about the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped for 69 days. It was a super-fast read (1 sitting) and my heart was about to beat out of my chest when that drill first reached the miners.

I also finished Marching for Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge. It had beautiful photographs chronicling the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. A powerful read.

 

 

 

I also finished Tana French's Faithful Place, an adult read from one of my favorite murder-mystery writers. She builds such rich characters and relationships, plus it's all set in Ireland. A great read for a cold winter night.

 



This Week I'm Diving Into...

Bomb: The Race to Build -- And Steal -- the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin. It recently won a bunch of ALA awards, and from the first chapter, I was hooked.

Then, whatever pops up on my radar next.
