What I'm Reading Now :-)
What I Finished Last Week :-(
I couldn’t wait to read The Tiger’s Wife.
I’d read a thousand rave reviews on a thousand blogs and
I knew it was going to be the best book of the year.
Sadly, it wasn't....more
I have always respected Paul Farmer and
his tireless, selfless medical work in Haiti.
I have now learned, after listening to fourteen hours
(yes, that’s fourteen hours!) of these CDs
that just because you are a wonderful human being,
you are not necessarily a wonderful writer....more
I was not expecting much out of this book.
I knew it was going to be a romance,
and I'm not much for romances.
What are you reading today?!
I'm also participating in
Gratitude Giveaways
from November 17 to November 27!
And what am I giving away?
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! D This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!
I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. Book Journey offers a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment telling me how many you visited.
Looks interesting!

I think I might need to read Kitchen Counter Cooking School. I could use all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Eat Pray Love. It's pretty good!
The Tiger's Wife was everywhere, I agree, it never officially made it to my Wishlist though.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Kitchen Counter Cooking School and learned a few things as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

It's too bad that last week's reading didn't go so well. I hope this week's is much better.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of any of these titles! But you have a good list going on! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Happy reading. :)
Haven't heard of those! Hope you have good reads this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrapup
Have a GREAT day!

I also enjoyed The Very Picture of You. It had a lot more depth than I'd expected. Enjoy your reads!

Good reading week.
ReplyDeleteOh I have been looking forward to The Tigers Wife as well. Sorry it wasnt better.
ReplyDeleteSucks that the books you read weren't what you wanted, but now you can read other books that you enjoy better :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOne of the most frustrating things for me is to read a ton of great reviews of a book, get all excited to read it and then not like it. That's too bad that happened to you (twice!) this week. Paul Farmer does such good things and has great ideas, perhaps one of his great ideas should be getting a ghost writer
ReplyDeleteYou stopped by my blog a couple of weeks ago, and I am finally getting around to checking out yours (it's been busy around here)!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a difficult reading week. My book group had trouble with The Tiger's Wife, too.
By the way, my husband lived in Alvin for 10 years!

I'm sure I should be interested in reading The Tiger's Wife- a lot of hype hit Australia too. I get really, really turned off by magic realism so I don't think I'll ever attempt this one. And now two of my friends have had a lukewarm response. That's enough warning for me I think.
