It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

So, I'm spending my holiday trying to catch up on blogs. One of those blogs is J.Kaye's Book Blog. Let me tell you, if you are a reader, you need to subscribe to her blog RIGHT NOW. She reviews about a million books a year. OK, slight exaggeration, but only slight. And, she gives away lots of books too! She also runs about a dozen or more challenges, plus fun weekly things like today's: "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?"

So, what the heck am I reading these days?

Car book: The Host by Stephenie Meyer. This is my first Stephenie Meyer book, and I am enjoying the heck out of it. It is the June A Book for the Yahoo Bookcrossing Reading Group that I am in.


Home Book: Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen. I read Skinny Dip by Hiaasen last year for Bookcrossing Reading Group. He's very funny, though I think I enjoyed Skinny Dip a little more.

Work Book: A Season in the Highlands by Jude Deveraux, Jill Barnett, Geralyn Dawson, Pam Binder & Patricia Cabot. This is just a nice little romance anthology which is helping be de-tox mentally on my lunch hour.

Audio: Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. I wish I could remember who is reading this, but it's just not in my head right now. It's a very interesting book which is set both in present time and in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, I only get about 10 minutes a day to listen to it, so the book is lasting a looong time. I think it's about 12 or 15 CDs!

So how about the rest of you? What are you reading today?

Oh if I could only read a million or so books. ;) Maybe then I'd be caught up. How are you enjoying THE HOST? You liked her Twilight series, yes?

I need to put Skinny Dip on my TBR list. I read a Hiaasen book last year for the Southern Challenge and enjoyed it. Have a good week!

I want to read The Host! I have heard great things about that book.

I'm reading Shadow of the Wind(almost finished), finished The Alchemist audio book today and started a new one called The Novice by Trudi Canavan.

I've read The Labyrinth by Kate Mosse and I liked it. Will you review Sepulchre when you're done?

J.Kaye - Nope, this is my first Stephenie Meyer book. I am so far Twilight free, but I do plan on eventually picking up the series.

Mary - Skinny Dip is so worth it! You can look at my review here: http://jezebelsk.blogspot.com/2008/09/book-review-skinny-dip-by-carl-hiaasen.html

Ladybug - OK, you talked me into it. I will review Sepulchre when I'm done with the Audio. I have The Labyrinth in my TBR, which is why I picked up Sepulchre on a library visit.

I'm having a Terry Pratchett moment right now.
Happy reading! :)

I have been reading Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult and am listening to Phantom Prey by John Sandford.
