It's Monday! What Are You Reading? St. Patrick's Day Edition


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? --From Picture Books to YA is a weekly meme started by Jen at Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee at Unleashing Readers. This is a chance for bloggers to recap their week of reading and share their plans for the next reading adventures they will take. Visit the host blogs for a list of great blogs participating in this meme and a whole bunch of titles to add to your to-read lists.

This week was another kind of slow reading week.  I had parent conferences on Wednesday and Thursday nights so those were super long days without much reading.  I also was not feeling so great early in the week.  Luckily, I did have Friday off so I was able to have a few uninterrupted reading hours.

Books I Finished This Week:

A Red Herring Without Mustard is the third book in the Flavia de Luce series.  The protagonist of this series is so full of personality.  I love how she bumbles along and gets in trouble for investigating.  All of the characters are quite lovable.  I enjoy this book and recommend it to all.


I enjoyed Threatened as much as I enjoyed Endangered.  I learned a lot about Africa and chimpanzees in this book.  I loved the way the story was different, but the reader still comes away from this book with a deep appreciation for these amazing creatures. See my longer review here.  I highly recommend this one for grades 8 and up.

Books I am Currently Reading:

I just started Cress today and can tell that it will be one that will be hard to put down in the next few days.  I also started listening to Sapphire Blue.  I enjoyed Ruby Red and I am sure I will enjoy this one too.

What's Next?

I am not sure what I will pick up next.  I have shelves full of books to read and just got another box from Scholastic full of goodies.  I will have to see how I feel this week.

What are you reading this week?  Have any great recommendations for me? I would love to hear from you in the comments! Have a great reading week!

  2. Hello there Andrea, these are two unfamiliar titles to me, so thank you so much for sharing them. I do have a thing for mysteries every now and again. :) What an awesome thing to have boxes of books just waiting to be read. :)
