It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 6/10/13

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!

Last Week I Dived Into...
The Dinner by Herman Koch for my adult book club. It was promoted as the European Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn). I think that comparison ruined it for me. It was a good read, but the whole time I was trying to figure out some awesome surprise ending and ended up being disappointed.

 

I also read 11 Experiments That Failed  by Jenny Offill & Nancy Carpenter. What a unique read! Love the voice in this one.

 



This Week I'm Diving Into...

On Little Wings by Regina Sirois.

I am also listening to A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz on audiobook.

I also want to get to I, Emma Freke  by Elizabeth Atkinson, Because of Mr. Terupt  by Bob Buyea, Amulet #1 The Stonekeeper  by Kazu Kibuishi and Nurse, Soldier, Spy  by Marissa Moss and John Hendrix.

And professionally, I'm still getting into Book Love by Penny Kittle.

What are you getting into this week?

Happy Reading!

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you highlight one book that you can't wait to hit the bookshelves!

I can't wait for June 4th to pick up The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau. Check out the book trailer:

It's Thirst Day! 5/16/13

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

I'm not sure if the bike on the cover made me think of exercise, which made me think of sipping something healthy, but we are drinking a V8 with today's read, Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. Check out Sarah talking about Along for the Ride below:

 

 

Happy Reading (and sipping)!
