It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
Being on vacation last week, I thought I would gets tons of reading done, but that just wasn’t the case. I actually read a lot less than I normally do, but that was okay. I got some good family time in.

I’ve finally made it to Part 4 of Anna Karenina. I had been behind on this group read, but I feel like I’m getting close to catching up.
I’ve got about 4 hrs left on my audiobook of The Assassin’s Blade. This is a reread for me. I had forgotten so much! I’m glad I decided to reread this as my mom and my son are reading it.
I’m a little over half way through Legendary and I’m finding it hard to put down!! I just love the mystery! This is my physical copy that I’m reading during the day.
I can’t give you much insight into Storm and Fury yet because I’ve only just finished the first chapter. This is my current kindle read for bedtime or early morning…
WHAT I’M READING NEXT (subject to change)

Heir of Fire will be another reread for me. I’ll start listening to it as soon as I’m done with The Assassin’s Blade.
ADSOM will be my next physical copy read after I’m finished with Legendary. I can’t wait to read it!!! I so hope it lives up to all the hype!!
Laters,

Nice variety of books. I’ve started A Darker Shade of Magic three of four times but it just doesn’t seem to be working for me. I hope you enjoy it. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Fingers crossed that I’ll enjoy it. So many people rave about it. It seems like it might take a while to build up, though.

I always think I’m gonna read a ton on vacation, and it seems like I never do!
Shatter Me has me super curious- I’ve been mulling over trying that series for a while.

Yep! That’s the way vacations go. I’m really curious about how the series will build from this first book. It really left a ton more questions than answers!

I really have to pick up Caraval ASAP! I feel like I’ve been missing out by not reading the series. And the Shades Of Magic series is one of my all time favorites. Have a wonderful week and happy reading! xx

Thanks!! I’m a bit obsessed with Caraval right now. Everything I think I have it all figured out I’m wrong, but I think I just might have it now…we’ll see. It’s definitely one big mystery! Happy Reading!!
