It’s Monday! What are YOU Reading? #Meme

J.Kay created a Meme for Mondays where you list the books you have recently completed this week, books you are currently reading, and books you hope to read this week.

The books I have read in the past week:

  • Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris

Did I REALLY only read one book this week? It was a crazy week, that is for sure. We had a health scare with my daughter and that took an entire day as we jumped from doctor to doctor. Luckily she is perfectly healthy (minus the whole “teething molars” and cold thing.)

Books I am currently reading:

Night Runner by Max Turner (Will probably finish today)

Books I plan on reading this week:

  1. 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists: Insider Secrets from Top Writers by Andrew McAleer
  2. Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
  3. Eat, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss

Last week I had set out to read Watch the Hour. My mind was just so wrapped up in a bunch of serious things this week that I couldn’t sink into this book, even though from the pages that I’ve read were written well. I just sensed that it would be a deep novel and I needed an escape from the deep. Do you know what I mean? I hope to pick it up soon because it seems truly interesting. Maybe because I am part Irish and it’s about a man who falls in love with an Irish girl.

My selection(s) this week are to help prep me for #NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org , National Novel Writing Month). Luckily I’ve had a lot of great support so far from my Twitter pals who have really helped me sort through my thoughts.

What are YOU reading?

      Thank you, Alita!

      So far I am REALLY enjoying Night Runner. It’s a pretty quick read and not at ALL like I expected! It’s a very different spin on a current literary trend. I thought it was an adult novel when I got it, but as I am reading it – I definitely picture it more YA but even so – I am REALLY liking it!

    I’ve only read the first Charlaine Harris novel. I much prefer the series and watching Eric get nekkid. :-) Not really a fan of Harris’ writing but she does have a great imagination. Coincidentally, I have Lynn Truss’ book out on loan too!
