Monday's What am I Reading?

hosted by Sheila at Book Journey

there are 100s of new books and blogs to discover.

i took a few days of last week to enjoy
a Readathon with Amanda On a Book Bender 
i finished about 5 maybe 6 books~
i'm currently 1/2 way through
Mr Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange

who gives a wonderful inside understanding of Darcy's journey
from initial reactions to romantic responses
regarding Elizabeth Benett of Pride & Prejudice fame ~
no disappointments!

the following are 2 completions in the Readathon ~

i entirely enjoyed Molly's high speed chase through the English countryside
tailed by her scroogish family, reporter Tom
and their adventurous escapades
attempting to capture a new {female!} Robin Hood!


finally!
my turn to read Sarah Jio's 'The Violets of March'
definitely worth the wait ~
relationships, mystery, romance, new beginnings ...
no putting this one down!

continuing the reading {chptrs 22>}and discussion of Sense & Sensibility with 





last few days of  the Austenesque Extravaganza
if you're a Jane Austen fan we've had a lot of FuN so far
thanks to Meredith our lovely hostess...

and what might you be reading this week?

    I agree that Violets of March is a good one! I review a lot of YA last week and I'm reading some nonfiction this week.

    Enjoy your books. Even with homework, I did manage to meet last week's reading goals. Please come see what I finished and what I'm reading now.

    Molly's Millions looks like a lot of fun and the Violets of March sounds good too. Hmm - maybe if I went back and re-read Pride and Prejudice I might feel like trying some of the "Darcy" books. They just haven't interested me though so far.
    Have a cup of tea for me and have a great week!
