It's Monday! What Are You Reading? March 15

Yay! My favorite time of the week because I love interacting with my book bloggin' friends and seeing what everyone is reading. Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books hosts this meme, so link up and join in the fun.

I had a great week of reading, for me anyway. So proud of myself. It helped that the Olympics were over and the weather was crappy, so I wasn't motivated to do chores or anything else but read.

I read:




(The Tao of Mia and Leo)

I reviewed The Crying Tree, which I really enjoyed. I still need to review the others and hope to get to that this week.

Gave up after reading 137 pages:

This memoir held my interest at first but turned out to be too novel-like and not enough about actual births, like I had hoped.







Plan to read:














I leave you all with a picture of my nephew with my dad's dog Emma - the model in my header. Is her face not just the sweetest?!



What about you? Read anything good this week?

I loved The Crying Tree. It was really well done and I thought she dealt with the subject matter well.

Here is my Monday: http://thelostentwife.net/2010/03/14/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-12/

I am curious about Debbie Macoombers book - how was it? I havent read her in a long time.

Crying Tree sounds interesting - checking out your review now :)

Volunteer Vacations looks good! I've been meaning to read Debbie Macomber but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I have an award for you: http://www.readingatthebeach.com/2010/03/award-time.html

The Crying Tree is getting great reviews - keeping my eyes open for that one.
Remarkable Creatures is another on my list - hope you enjoy it.
Emma is gorgeous - as is your header!

Have a great week!

That dog (in your header and with your nephew) is adorable! Love the header pose especially.
