What are you reading Mondays? is a meme hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog.This week I'm planning on Beastly (Flinn), Wings (Pike), and, if there is time, Generation Dead (Waters). I'm listening to Life as We Knew It (Pffefer, Bauer). I was listening to Everlost (Shusterman) but the narrator's voice was giving me a headache so I'm switching to the print whenever I get a chance. And then I don't know. Suggestions for audio books?
Check out J.Kaye's Book Blog for what others are reading.
Since last week I've finished Alice in Wonderland (Carroll) and that's it. I'm not sure what happened, life I guess. I abandoned Tattoo (Barnes) since I couldn't get into it. Anyway, I also finished Messenger (Lowry) on audio. The review for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Grahame-Smith) went up and so did The Taming of the Shrew/10 Things I Hate About You double review.
If you are a regular follower of my blog, then you can look forward to all Alice in Wonderland review week this week.
Awards:
I got the Spread the Love Around award from Tam at Bailey's and Books. Thanks so much! Tam has a fun blog and she is also doing the Everything Austen Challenge.
So I'm passing this on to
Books Obsession
The Zen Leaf
Thoughts on YA Literature
Trisha's Book Blog
Speaking of Trisha at Trisha's Book Blog, she gave me the Let's Be Friends Award this week as well. Thanks Trisha!! We have become friendly after I helped answer a couple of questions she had. In addition to her book reviews, Trisha has a Giveaway of the Day post which is really nice.
Blogs that receive the Let’s Be Friends Award are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers.
So I'm passing this on to:

ReplyDeleteBy the way - I'm having an Alice in Wonderland Sweet 16 party in two weeks. I've never read the books before but I'm definitely going to read your reviews for it once they're up!
Thanks again for the award. I just realized that I never left a comment for you on an award I had for you last week...
ReplyDeleteI haven't figured out how to do proper links in comments, so the link is below.

Looks like you've got a great week of reading :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the awards - they are well deserved!
And, like others, I love the new layout too!
I really liked Everlost, but I read the print version. The sequel is due out this fall, so I'm looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite teen audio book this year has been Prism. I reviewed it, but I'm not sure how to post a link in the comment box - maybe this will work:

I gave my sister an audio copy of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, and she said she loved it. Maybe you will too? The written version is awesome, too.
