It's Monday. What are you reading? 14 Nov 2011

It's Monday. What are you Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey to outline what you have been reading and what you plan to read this week.











Over the weekend I just finished reading Fall of Giants (Ken Follett) which is a huge epic and took me awhile but I finished it and really enjoyed it so make sure you check out my review. I've also just finished The Housekeeper and The Professor (Yoko Ogawa) so I'll have my review for that one up very soon.

Now I need to pick my next book and I'm undecided. I have quite a few books still borrowed from book club so I think I need to just get all those ones read and out of the way. So this week I'll probably pick up something from this pile which includes Botswana Time, Angelas Ashes and The Lollipop Shoes or from this pile which is Affinity and Wide Sargasso Sea. I hope to get all of these read by the last book club of this year in December. Once I've made some progress through my book club list I've already picked my next 100 book challenge book which will be The Woman in White (Wilkie Collins) which I've been wanting to read for ages. That's probably quite a lot to try and finish by the end of the year, especially since I'm bound to pick up another one or two in the next book club (which is tomorrow!) because it's just too hard to resist. So I better get started!

I've never made all thevway through a Ken Follet book even though I enjoy them while I am reading. I just get distracted, I guess.
Looks like you've got some great books to choose from.
I read PILLARS OF THE EARTH, but didn't enjoy it as much as you liked FALL OF GIANTS. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
I want to try The Woman in White also, I think next year I will go for it.
I gotta admit...I'm a little scared of that big of a book! I've heard its great...just the size of it seems a little daunting. Congratulations on finishing!! :)

I've been meaning to read some Ken Follett forever, and haven't gotten the chance yet. So many people have great things to say about him!
Fall of Giants is a huge undertaking! Congrats on finishing!
Ive herad good things about The Housekeeper and the Professor. Botswana Time sounds good. The tv series of Alexander McCall's The Number One Womens Detective Agency set in Botswana just finished here and I really enjoyed it -( a lot more than the books If I confess)

I'm impressed you found your way through Fall of Giants - that is an epic one! Happy reading, Megan @ Read It, See It
The Housekeeper and the Professor is on my wishlist. I had another quiet week of reading. School and nanowrimo are eating up a lot of my spare reading time. Please come see what I'm reading.
