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.
WHAT I READ LAST WEEK (Since WWW)

Yes, I know that I put down The Fallen: Genesis. It was definitely rough in a most horrible way. I picked up Fluffy and it was just what I needed. Loads and loads of laughs. Well, The Fallen wouldn’t let me go. I just kept thinking about all the boys that have gone through what Gabriel had gone through, or some similarity to it. And well, I thought if they had survived it, lived it, then I ought to be able to at least read it. Fortunately, I had made it to the worst part when putting it down to begin with, so it picked up from that point. And by that I mean that hope entered the picture. The Widow’s Christmas Blessing was a kindle freebie I picked up and made a quick read of before starting my reading for #tistheseasonathon.

Scrooge is just so entertaining! I’m really enjoying this classic. And I am so loving Red Winter! I’m already looking forward to the rest of this trilogy.

I removed Twilight from this list for now because it’ll fulfill a prompt for a readathon I’m participating in later this month. So, waiting means 2 birds, 1 stone.
Happy Reading,
Ali
It’s been years since I last read A Christmas Carol! I’m not sure if I’ll have time for a reread this year myself though. xD Have a wonderful week and happy reading! xx

I honestly can’t remember if I’ve read it all the way through before or not, but my besties wanted to do a group read with it and I was all for it.

Looks like you have been able to get a lot of reading done. I can totally understand waiting for a bit to read Twilight so it can count for a challenge.

I went a week without finishing a book, and then all of a sudden I was starting to really knock them down. It just falls that way sometimes.

Nice assortment of books. I don’t think I’ve ever actually read A Christmas Carol but everyone knows the story. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I don’t think I’ve ever read it all the way through, so I was excited to do it as a buddy read!
