It’s Monday, What Are You Reading?

Monday what are you reading

Oh!  It is Monday isn’t it?  I would love to share with you what is true of last weeks reads, what is currently being read in the DeChantal household, as well as what I am hopeful to attack yet this week!  Thank you to J. Kaye who created this wonderful meme so we can talk books!

Last week I completed:

Girl Naw! by Lacrica A. Angelle

Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble

North!  Or Be Eaten by Andrew Peterson (with a double giveaway!)

Mix Shake Stir by Danny Meyer

Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms by Jane Doiron (with one to give away!)

and as for my current reads…

The Sister Pact by Cami Checketts (I am so enjoying this book!  It is a Christian fiction read but it is different from any 001I have read before and I am really excited to review it!  I should be done yet tonight!)

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (yeah… I stated this one a month ago and sat it down to read something else and have yet to pick it back up.  It is not from lack of interest by any mean… I really have liked what I have read so far.  I hope to wrap this one up this week.)

and now for the ones I plan to get going on this week…

Abbeville by Jack Fuller:  This one could very well be the book I had written the song for earlier this week.  LOL.  Patiently waiting on the shelf, this morning as I was choosing the next in line – I grabbed this one.

004Cleopatra’s Daughter by Michelle Moran… this is a self explanatory pick.  Seriously, if this book is in your home how can you not read it?

The Carpet Boy’s Gift by Shea/Morin:  A beautifully illustrated childrens read that I can not bring myself to even put on the TBR shelf.  It must be read.  It must be read now.word shakers

I also started (or am working on  the start of…) an online book club called Word Shakers.  Check it out and sign the Mr. Linky if you want to be kepy updated on the reads and participate if you can!

  1. Wow, my friend, do you ever sleep? You’re amazing at what you accomplish in a week!

    I have Michelle Moran’s Nefertiti on my TBR list, so I need to add her new one, too. She’s really showing up on everyone’s blog lately, so her books must be good!

  2. Very good reading week with another coming up! I’ll be looking forward to your review of The Sister Pact, I’ve heard great things but from people I can’t always trust with books.

  3. Wow, how do you manage to get through 4 or 5 books a week? I’m impressed! Looks like a good list for this week. I am embarrassed to admit that I’ve never read a Jane Austen book! I know, I know…

    Enjoy your reading week!

    1. It depends on the week. Two of these this past week were recipe type books. North! Or Be Eaten I had partically read and Anastasia I read over the weekend when I was staying at a hotel during my bike ride.

      Girl Naw! Is a smaller read and flowed well so that was a day and a halfer. 🙂

  4. Holy cow girl! Great week last week!

    Lots of good ones coming up!

    I am going to have my review of Alec Thrace up Wednesday (I am going to be interviewing the author and giving away one copy next week!)

  5. Wow, what a list! This sounds really great. I am curious if you read these books all at the same time or do you read one, finish it, then move to the next book. I can juggle only 2 books at one time. And that is only when I am at my stopping point for discussion that I can throw a second one in, which usually I try to finish quickly.

    1. Hi Melissa- I usually stick to one at a time unless they are very different reads and I need a break from one. Pride and Prejudice I started a while ago but then got busy with something lighter.

      I do have a couple other partial reads waiting for me as well and do not know when I will get back to them.
