It's Monday! What Are you reading?


It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.

Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them. (From thebookdate.)

I have a question: quite often I end up commenting on others' blogs, but am wondering if my comments get through or not? I comment or say something, but then I am told that my comment is being moderated...am just curious because I swear I commented on some blogs, but I don't see my comments in the comments section. 

Aside from that, I am still reading The Master and the Maid by Laura Libricz as well as Forgotten Reflections by Young-Im Lee, so yeah, I didn't finish nor start anything this week. I also have decided to let one book skip ahead of others: that of the newest one by Amy Hatvany titled Tell Me Everything. (I have a strong feeling that I'll need to read it soon...) I haven't read any of her writings, so am wondering what I'll be in for?

    I can't comment about why your comments seem delayed. Some bloggers choose to moderate comments and others don't. I'm a one-book-at-a-time reader unless one book is losing my interest but I don't want to abandon it. It would be unusual for me to have 3 books going at a time. I'm afraid I'd mix up the plots and characters. Come see my week here and Happy New Year!

      LOL my mom's favorite question: How can I read 3 books without getting stuff mixed up? It used to be 5 books, but I cut back because I noticed I wasn't finishing as quickly. I'm enjoying 3 books actually. Maybe it helps that books tend to be different from one another for one reason or another. Happy New Years and hope you're enjoying your reads!

    I know for me while I work mostly in Safari when I want to comment I use Google chrome because my comments are just lost on Safari. The Abbott's Tale looks interesting and perhaps an Irish or Scottish author?

      I tend to use Google chrome as my default browser, although laptop for blogspot and a tablet for wordpress. The author is actually half British-half Irish, and The Abbot's Tale main character isn't fun to be around with...

    I switched to Wordpress about a year ago and I'm not always getting notifications that I need to moderate comments. I just found some waiting that had been there for 3 months! Yikes! Anyway, I also have the Amy Hatvany book waiting for me, although I'm not sure when I'm going to get to it.

      Yikes! Three months! Good luck in getting to Amy Hatvany book. From the first page (I did First Paragraph Tuesday) it's best described as a book containing a lot of controversial issues that tends to push things over the edge. I'm not a stranger to reading over the edge novels, but I think this might be one of my more controversial choices...

G324 E-Reading Book Review of Mozart's Wife by Juliet Waldron

Image
Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur...

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former So...

See rules here:  Sunday Post Meme #5 Childhood Memories I sometimes wonder how my six year old son will see his life in the future: will he feel that his childhood was ideal, or will the ideal be simply an illusion that I hope to impart to him? I am sure my parents wished and tried to make sure I remember the good parts of life, and there are fleeting glimpses of fun times such as traveling to a water park or even taking a Disney vacation. But beyond the big gestures, I recall yummy food, videos, music in addition to a whole ton of guilt and anxiety. My son, I hope its safe to say, has probably more of an awesome childhood than I did, and I often hope th...
