It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a bookish meme hosted by Book Journey. It's where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It's a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list. So hop on over via the link above and join in...and leave a comment here so I can check out what you are reading

Books Read (click on titles for review):
The Praise Singer by Mary Renault

Currently Reading:
C, B. Greenfield: A Little Madness by Lucille Kallent: Spring is here...and C.B. Greenfield, publisher of the Sloan's Ford Reporter, is making beautiful music with a redheaded violinist. Their duet sounds a sour not with Greenfield's top reporter, Maggie Rome, and she cuts out for upstate to join a women's peace organization that has set up camp to protest the storing of nuclear missiles at a local military base. But surprise! The beautiful, redheaded violinist is a leader of this very group. And surprise again-Maggie finds the great Greenfield staying at the local hotel, allegedly on an unheard-of week-long vacation. Only when the leader of a pro-nuke counterprotest group disappears do Greenfield and Maggie heal their breach, and Maggie once again plays Watson to Greenfield's Sherlock-to solve a mystery with unsettling overtones for them both.

Lucky Jim by Kinglsey Ami

  4. My kids have been re-reading their Jan Brett books.

    I'm still on vacation but I've caught a cold. I've been too sick to get much reading done. Please come see what I'm reading.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
