It's Monday! August 22nd

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by The Book Date. Due to illness and busy-ness I haven't been able to read as much as I would have liked, but I still managed to finish one book, and make progress on some others. Hopefully this week will be a more successful reading week than the last.
 
Books finished this week:
11235712
Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I didn't really know what to expect going into this since it is different from what I usually read, but I had heard good things about it so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, because it was really good - and now I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series to find out what happens next!

Currently reading:
I keep starting books and not getting around to finishing what I was reading - so the number of books on my "currently reading" pile keeps growing! However, the books I'm currently actively reading (as opposed to books I'll probably pick up again in a week or two when I've hopefully finished some of these) are:

On the Loose by Jenny B. Jones
What Matters in Jane Austen? by John Mullan
The Forever Girl by Alexander McCall Smith
Life with God by Richard Foster
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
 
What I plan to read next:
I'm not sure what I'll end up reading next - I tend to just pick up whatever I feel like reading - but here are three books I'm hoping to get to soon:

Five Magic Spindles by various authors
Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne
Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte

What have you been reading lately? Feel free to leave a comment!

  1. Oooh - Cinder is high on my TBR pile. You've made me want to pick it up faster. And Five Magic Spindles sounds like it should be on my TBR too!

    Here's my weekly round up :#IMWAYR

  2. I really liked Cinder and the rest of the series too. Science fiction and fairy tale retellings are two of my favorite things to read. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
