So, it’s Monday again already! After a weekend away in Edinburgh, 6am seemed to come horrendously quickly this morning. Sad though that may be, it being Monday does mean that I can share my past, current and future reads in Book Journey‘s ‘It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?’ so it could be worse 🙂 It’s been a couple of weeks so it’ll be nice to check in on some new blogs and see what everyone’s reading!
What have I read during the past week? My nerdy book-tracking spreadsheet tells me that I’ve actually been reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini since 2 November – that’s pretty much two weeks! It felt like a long time but not quite that long. As that suggests, I found the first half of the book quite hard going, which was a combination of being busy at work and characters doing too much travelling and hiding secrets and not enough action.

What am I reading at the moment? I have about 50 pages or so left of Eragon so, unbelievably, I’m still reading that…
What am I planning on reading this week? I have both Treasure Me by Christine Nolfi and Shadow’s Edge by Brent Weeks vying for my attention this week. What I think it’s ultimately going to come down to is what the weather and my temperament are like when I finally finish Eragon. If it’s gloomy and I’m tired, the assassins are going to win the day; if it’s remotely bright and/or I’m feeling alert, it’ll be hidden treasures and family mystery. A slightly frivolous approach to choosing books maybe but there you have it 🙂
Upcoming Reviews: Despite apparently not having done much reading for the past couple of weeks, I do still have these books to review over the next couple of weeks:
The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks (which I loved)
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (which I also enjoyed)
The Inquisitor’s Apprentice by Chris Moriarty (which I wasn’t that keen on)
The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde (which was surprisingly funny)
So what have you been reading? What treats will be gracing your bedside table this week?
