It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


It's been quite a while since I posted a Monday reading update. I haven't really been doing much blogging here at A Little Reading (only two posts last year!), but I'm still reading and thought I might try to get the blog going again. Of course, I've said that before and yet, here I am a year later, saying it all over again. So we'll see how it goes. 

During the Christmas holidays, I read three books. Three very different books, all of them chosen to fulfill various reading challenges over at LibraryThing....

The Donaldson Case
by Diana Xarissa (2016)

by Kevin J. Anderson (1995)

by Percival Everett (2024)


I haven't finished any books in this new year, but I've got a couple started.... 

by Jenny Woolf (2010)

by Dan Brown (2017)

Jenny Woolf's study of Lewis Carroll has a lengthy subtitle: Discovering the Whimsical, Thoughtful, and Sometimes Lonely Man Who Created "Alice in Wonderland." She brings up many interesting questions about Carroll and has some intriguing - and occasionally unpredictable - answers. I'm enjoying the book, though I'm not sure I accept or agree with all her theories and explanations. 

I've just started Dan Brown's Origin (the 5th book in his Robert Langdon series), but so far it's just as fast-moving as all his other thrillers. So even though it's something of a chunkster (between 500 and 700 pages, depending on the edition), I think it might be a quick read. 

Happy New Year, everyone!
Have a great week, and Happy Reading!

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
