It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


Sheila, of One Persons Journey Through a World of Books, is the host of It's Monday! What Are You Reading? This is a weekly event to share what we read last week, what we are currently reading and what books we plan to read this week.

What I read last week:


Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton
Summary: A mother and daughter are severely injured during a school fire.  While the police investigate to determined the cause of the fire (appears to be arson), the father and his sister have their suspicions about the person that started the fire.







Reading This Week:

Wife 22Please Look After Mom


On My Nightstand:

I Couldn't Love You More

This week will be a long work week for me.  I anticipate at least 3 late nights, which will impact my reading time.  I will be happy if I finish one book this week!

What's on your reading list this week?

    1. I'm listening to the audio book. It's a bit slower than what I expected, with lots of details provided. (Not saying this is a bad thing though.) It's outside of my comfort zone which is why I picked it up! I am enjoying it so far.

    1. These late nights at work is really interfering with my reading time! I'd rather be outside on my deck reading instead of at the office. So if I finish one book a week for the next two weeks, I will be happy! Please Look After Mom is a different read for me, however I am enjoying it.

    1. You'll have to stop by tomorrow for my review of Afterwards! I'm kicking myself I didn't read Sister last year! It's definitely on my TBR list for this year.

    1. Now that I've read Afterwards, I really want to read Sister! Apparently Please Look After Mom was a popular book I missed hearing about last year. I randomly picked it off the library shelf because it was outside of my comfort zone. It's good so far (I'm listening to the audio book BTW.)
