It's Monday. What are you Reading? 28 May 2012

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.

It's been such a nice week because for the first time in forever I haven't had to travel for work. So I've been able to be home snuggled up with my man the whole week! It's been bliss.

As for the books side of things I finished The Red Tent (Anita Diamant) so you can check out my review and I turned 1! Such a cool feeling. I started To the Lighthouse (Virginia Woolf) which I am taking slowly due to the writing. It is such beautiful prose that I just don't want to rush it, I want to savour and decipher every sentence.

From the library I borrowed Our Tragic Universe (Scarlett Thomas). I read her book The End of Mr. Y which I really enjoyed so I grabbed this when I spotted it at the library. It has the same cool cover style too as Mr. Y. I also grabbed another unabridged audio book - this one about Tuscany. I'll see how I go with it. I haven't even reviewed the last audio book I finished!

I've had To The Lighthouse on my shelf for well over a year now, but never seem to get to it. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far - I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it after you've finished.

Thanks. It's definitely not an easy book to read but it's worth it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, I am now a new follower of yours :)
I've owned The Red Tent without reading it for too long, I really should correct that soon!

No worries - It's easy when it's a topic I love to talk about - travel! :) Thanks for following!
