It's Monday - What are you reading?

It's Monday!  What are you reading?

Sponsored by Sheila at Book Journey

 

I have been busy reading this week - I finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (I was really surprised by the book, in a good but sad way), but most of my reading has been for my Coursera class.  I've suspended reading Tomatoland until my Kindle reappears as it's gone missing in our house!

 

So this week, I'm reading:

 

 

The Odyssey, Fagles translation, chapters 9-16.  I plan to get this done before Sunday so I can actually watch all the videos before the quiz is due.

 

 

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling - I told my(adult) daughter she can read it when I'm done so I best hurry up on this one.

 

 

Anna Quindlen is one of my favorite authors so I was happy to see this available at the public library.

 

 

I love to read cookbooks!  I have Ree's first book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks:  Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl.  Although I do find the step by very slow step ("Here's an egg," e.g.) a bit annoying, I will say her cookbook gave me the courage to try chicken fried steak, one of my favorite dishes when I go out to a restaurant, and it was fabulous.

 

 

We have a stack of new books to add and this is one I definitely want to read.  I'm going to a couple of meetings in the next two weeks, so when I am here, we're doing technology things with the classes, so no picture book reading for me with the students.  But this one looks great - I don't want Donna to get all the fun!
