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.
And I slide even further behind...five books and counting. I don't think I'm ever going to get where I need to
be to finish all the challenges this year...

Currently Reading:
Death Has Green Fingers by Lionel Black: The village of Ashworth prides itself on its roses--and its rose breeders. Nick Bell, a fancier of prize roses, has perhaps produced a most extraordinary variety--a blue rose. After his alleged triumph, however, Bell is murdered, and the infamous blue roses are nowhere to be found. Was he murdered by an envious fellow horticulturist? Or did it have to do with his other main passion--the pursuit of married women?

Blood Makes Noise by Gregory Widen: On a summer’s night in 1955, CIA agent Michael Suslov is summoned to a
secret vault in the heart of Buenos Aires. His mission: transport the
corpse of Eva Peron to a new hiding place in the wake of her husband’s
fall from power. But before Michael can comply, everything goes
tragically, horribly wrong…Sixteen years later, Michael Suslov
is a ghost of a man, an ex-government agent living off the radar—and the
only soul alive who knows where Evita is buried. When an old friend
from Argentine Military Intelligence appeals to him for help bringing
the body home, Michael agrees, hoping this final mission will quiet the
demons from his past. But he’s not the only one on a recovery mission:
two rogue CIA agents are tracking him, desperate to unearth Evita before
Michael does—and to claim the secret millions they believe she took to
her grave. [Review request book]

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!
