What are you reading today?!
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!
I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. Book Journey offers a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment telling BJ how many you visited.

Just about every author I meet raves about Lee Smith's writing but I've never read it. I have a feeling you're in for a treat with the Last Girls.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by :)
These all look really interesting!
It's my book club selection and I started reading it reluctantly, but very soon I found I was hooked.
Lots of good reads for me this week!
OOh nice! Haven't read any of these, although may have read the Dr. Seuss one years ago! Can't remember really! Happy Reading for this week!
Here's my Monday Wrapup
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I thought I'd read Oh the Places You'll Go, but, after reading it aloud thirty-two times last week, I realized I had not!
Behind the Beautiful Forevers caught my eye, the title and the cover. I hope you enjoy your book club selection, The Last Girls, I'll be interested to see what you think.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a great week and happy reading :)
Ooh, I've heard good things about The Beginner's Goodbye. Have a wonderful week and thanks for visiting.
Nice selection!
Great looking list! I thoroughly enjoyed The Beginner's Goodbye...hope you do, too.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I'm so behind in my reading. I have two of your books to read! They all look scrumptious. Enjoy!
oh i LOVE dr seuss! that one about the mumbai undercity looks interesting. srsly.
Ooh.. looks great! Made a note on some of those for my TBR.. ;") Have a great week - filled with many books!
I haven't read any of these, except the Dr Seuss one! You have a bit of a travelling theme happening. I do love books about journeys. :)
I'm looking forward to the Anne Tyler book. Did you like it?
Those first two books look very good!
All of these books are brand new discoveries for me Deb :) I'm planning to check out the BEA Buzz book next.
I read the Last Girls a couple years ago. I'm curious what you think of it.
My favorite read last week was the audio of On the Beach by Nevil Shute. Please come see what else I'm reading. (And I found my missing book)
I love it so far!
Oh dear! I don't know what the BEA Buzz Book is! And I must find out!
They are!
I didn't think I was going to like it until I was a quarter of the way in, and then it suddenly started sounding like the kind of Anne Tyler book that I love.
Sometimes I think every book I read is about traveling in one way or another.
I feel sure this will be a good reading week for me!
Yes, the kids at school loved the Seuss and the Mumbai book was unnerving.
I have a ton awaiting me, too. I keep thinking, It's just a few more days until I have two and half months to read!
I did, though not at first....
Yes, this week I read a little bit of everything.
Anne Tyler is always wonderful.
I'm surprised to find that I am really enjoying Last Girls.
Deb, what did you think of the Tyler book? Should I read it?
I usually love Anne Tyler, but I didn't warm up to this story until I'd read about a quarter of the book.
The Beginner's Goodbye looks like a good tear jerker-my kind of book! :)

I like the title of the Voluntourist and assume it's about volunteering when we travel, which is such a great idea. I hope you have a great reading week!
