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.
 
Here's this week's offering:
 

Books Read (click on titles for review): 
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Spotted Hemlock by Gladys Mitchell
Heirs & Spares by J. L. Spohr
If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't) by Betty White
London Particular (aka Fog of Doubt) by Christianna Brand 
  

Currently Reading: 
Dead Old by Maureen Carter:  Elderly women are being attacked by a gang of vicious thugs in Birmingham. When retired doctor Sophia Carrington is murdered, it's assumed she is the gang's latest victim. But DS Bev Morriss isn't convinced. She is sure the victim's past holds the key to her violent death: that it's a case of terrifying revenge served cold. 


   
Books that spark my interest:
Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (only because I need it for challenges...I was uninspired when I tried it a month or so ago....Just picked up the audio version--hoping that will work out better)
The Case of the Careless Kitten by Erle Stanley Gardner
Capacity for Murder by Bernadette Pajer: the newest installment in her Professor Bradshaw mysteries set at the dawn of the 20th Century. 
The Scarlet Macaw by S.P. Hozy  
Murder by the Book by Eric Brown
