It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. If you want to let the world know what books you're going to be reading this week, head on over to her blog and leave your link.Last week was a bit disjointed for me. After years of threatening to ditch Microsoft and go all-Apple, the hubby and I have finally taken the plunge. So I spent most of last week rehabbing and retraining. After using a PC for the last quarter century, I'm now having to rethink everything and learn to use the new Mac. And I don't do technology change really well, so that's more difficult than it really should be.
And it definitely cut into my reading time. But I did manage to finish one more book before the month of July disappeared. So here's my done/doing/to do list:
- Last week:
Finished reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. Really enjoyed this one. Hope to have a review up soon.
Reviewed The Good Psychologist, by Noam Shpancer.
Posted several "Daily Tease" reports on past reading adventures:
The Angel's Game, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon
Booked To Die, by John Dunning
The Hills at Home, by Nancy Clark
- Reading this week:
The Vanishing of Katharina Linden, by Helen Grant (I've had this one going for quite a while now. Will definitely finish it up this week. No, really.)
Hoping to start Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo this week, too.
- Other stuff:
Working on reviews and a few more "daily teases." I'm enjoying revisiting some of the books I've read in years gone by.

I've read the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night and have the Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie on my list to read. Plus a lot of borrowed library books still on the shelf to read...
Joy -- Where to start! Loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -- hope you get to start it this week. Isn't Flavia just fantastic? She is just a wonderfully quirky character. The Angel's Game was excellent as well -- couldn't you see it being made into a movie?
Have a great week!
What great books -- I still haven't read Shadows of the Wind and have wanted to read The Hills forever!!

Hi Joy,
I'm reading a BORING nonfiction that I might not finish! I won't publish the title. (yawn)
I look forward to reading The Good P and I have 3 others on my TBR list.
My post.

I need to start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well! Have a great week in books.
Good luck with the techno change. I am anti-Apple but I applaud anyone who makes that big of a change. I have heard so many good things about Sweetness...Pie so I look forward to your thoughts as well. Have a good week :)
I've certainly been seeing this Stieg Larsson series all over...hope you like these books.
I'm going to check out your review of The Good Psychologist.
Here's my Monday:

I really enjoyed the "Girl" series by Steig Larsson hope you do as well.
I worked with a guy that went to a mac after using a pc for years and not being very techno minded in the first place. I learned a lot about a mac helping him out.
I'm hearing lots of good things about the Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I'm going to have to read that one.
I have heard good things about The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I have to read that. Curious Incident we read for our book club and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is on my hopefully soon list :)
I keep looking at "The Hills At Home" but have never acquired it -- guess I need a trip to the bookstore. I checked on B&N for my Nook but it isn't available -- that is happening more and more -- what I want isn't available. Hmmm.
