What I'm reading now:
I;m not sure how much reading I'll have time for this week as I'm going to be busy getting ready to go on holiday next Saturday. We're going to Devon to spend the week fishing - well Ant will be fishing & I'm planning on doing a lot of reading and relaxing LOL. I'll just see how this week goes & try to get as much reading as I can done before we go :o) It's actually my birthday while we're away so I'm planning on holding a giveaway soon - if I have time I'll try to get it posted before we go but otherwise I'll have to start it a little late.

One day I will get my hand on Shiver! I swear it! :-) Hex Hall sounds really good too. Enjoy your books and your vacation, and Happy Early Birthday!

Read Hex Hall last week too and enjoyed it. It was just lighthearted enough that it brought me out of the funk I was in after reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

ReplyDeleteYou read Shiver, I have recently orderd the book. I hope it comes this or next week. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I love your header pic, wish I could get a picture of one of my cats doing that, they do most of their reading(knocking books off the shelf)when I am asleep.
