It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

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:

    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!

    Hi Joy,

    I'm reading a BORING nonfiction that I might not finish! I won't publish the title. (yawn)

    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 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 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.

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.
