What are you reading Mondays



J-Kaye is hosting this weekly event.
The point is to lay out your reading plan for the week-so here it is.
The plan:

I am hoping to polish off a couple of books this week that are smaller and happen to be of the young adult genre. The first is Olive's Ocean and the second is Stargirl. Who knows, I may even get to a third book this week. My reading speed and time available has slowed down some and timewise other things are crowding in--like being a mommy, (even if the final 2 at home are teenagers, they still need me!) and my newly learned hobby of knitting!

Last week I finished Heart and Soul by Maeve Binchy and as usual, reading one of her books was like coming home--I just love how she weaves her characters lives into one big plot. I plan to write up a little review of it later this week.

  1. "Stargirl" sounds good! I understand about the slowing in speed. I've had to increase my reading time by double. :( I was already speeding a lot...lol!

  2. I'm about to finish Nineteen Minutes. After that I have The Prudent Mariner and then Shadow of the Wind.

  3. The Binchy is on my TBR list. I think I've read almost all her books - 'found' her in the early '90s. I'll watch for your review.

  4. I have never read a Maeve Binchy novel - so I am anxious to read your review.

    I am trying to decide which book to read this week: Inkheart (which I started and really like so far) OR a cozy mystery (either Joanne Fluke or Diane Mott Davidson. Stressful day here - so I think I am going to spend the night just reading and not grading.
