It's Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event hosted by J. Kaye of http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/ Blog to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.

Today also marks the end of the second week of ReBooWee, a challenge to read at least one book a week.
The challenge is being hosted by The-Writing-Bug
It’s a fun challenge. With the holiday season, it’s easy to put off reading but the challenge helps keep your reading on track.
Check out The-Writing-Bug blog today to see what book I finished, as well as the other participants, and what sentences are posted in regards to the books read.
Another bit of information to share with you today is a contest I read about last night on the Women of Mystery blog. The contest is actually be held at Criminal Brief: The Mystery Short Story Web Log Project
What are you reading this week? Have you finished reading anything this past week? Have you check out ReBooWee yet and if so, how are you doing? Last, but not least, how are your detective skills? Will you try your hand at solving the hidden message?
I'm wondering if I said the same book last week! I'm reading the "Brutal Telling" by Penny. Excellent book, but with all craziness going on, it's taking me a while to read.

Mystery Writing is Murder
Mason - Thanks; I always like learning about other books from what people are reading. I've just started M.C. Beaton's Love, Lies and Liquor. It looks like a great read : ).
ReplyDeleteI think you mentioned a different book last week Elizabeth. It was one your were reading for your book club. "Brutal Telling" sounds interesting. The craziness anytime, but especially around the holidays, makes it hard to get "me time" just to relax and read.
ReplyDeleteI agree Margot, I enjoy seeing what others are reading. Sometimes that's the best way to find new books. The title of the book you're reading ("Love, Lies and Liquor") does make me curious what it would be about. Have to check that out.
I read Bird by Bird this week--finally. I have been meaning to read it for years. Thanks for the ReBooWee plug. I plan on putting together a ReBooWee reading list at the end of the challenge, sharing all the books folks read over the two months.
ReplyDeleteThe list sounds great Kerrie. I think it will be interesting to see the various types of books that were read during the 2 months and which genre has the most.
ReplyDeleteWho in the world puts NaNo and ReBooWee back to back in the two busiest months of the year for me? No way do I have time to participate. Waah.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed Carol that the busier you are, the more people have for you to do? I hoping January will prove to be a good month to read in.
ReplyDeleteDuring my vacation travels I plan to read:
ReplyDeleteGet Known Before the Book Deal

Give 'Em What They Want

Plot & Structure
by James Scott Bell
Kind of get psyched up before I revisit my NaNo novel in January.

arlee bird, good luck with your reading and your NaNo novel. You're way ahead of me. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have good weather for your vacation travel too.
ReplyDeleteThe Terry Spear book looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't forget to link up. That way other bloggers can find you.
ReplyDeleteYou might have and I am just overlooking it.
J. Kaye, I've only read a few pages so far in To Tempt the Wolf, but I think it's going to be excellent. I think I linked up several weeks ago, but then I'm so absent-minded at times I may not have.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion. It's a repeating meme that we do each Monday. So each Monday we link up to the current Monday post. So skip because there isn't much to add. When they join in again, it's with the current Monday.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make more sense? Here's the latest one: http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_14.html
I'm afraid to say I'm totally confused. Do I need to link up each week?
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sorry, my fault. Yes, you link up each Monday that you participate.
ReplyDeleteWell do. Thanks.
