This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week
I didn't exactly have my best week, so I managed to complete just one book.
- The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevara
Books reviewed
- Chicken with Plums by Marjane Satrapi
- The Lumby Lines by Gail Fraser
- The Arrival by Shaun Tan
I am currently reading
Snow
Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See: No progress on this, I need to take my rusty old iPod out and get back to listening!
Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: I am halfway through this book now and I'm hoping this will get me out of my reading funk!
The
Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille: So far, I didn't find this book as good as Plum
Island, but John Corey is still amazingly sarcastic and that's making for some good laughs.
One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: This is Chitra's first book that I am reading, and I'm finding her writing style quite engaging. So far, this book is going well, not amazing, but definitely interesting.

Yay, Goblet of Fire! I think that was one of my favourite HP books. I've got to re-read the series.
Love Goblet of Fire. The Motorcycle Diaries sounds interesting.
Great list of this week. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is brilliant. I hope you enjoy it. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/05/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-24-may.html
Nothing like a little Harry Potter to get you back into enjoying books again. It's hard when you hit a block, but sometimes a book that got you going in the past can help. It has for me I know!
Have a fantastic reading week and if you get a chance, stop by: Monday Reading's at There's A Book
Snow Flower is a good book: keep going, soon you'll be into it. Happy reading/listening!

I loved The Goblet of Fire. Best out of the lot!
Mondays: Mailbox/Musings/Whereabouts
One Amazing Thing looks interesting. My Goodreads wishlist just keeps getting longer and longer! Have a good week!
Harry Potter is like taking a muscle relaxer Aths - puts you in the right mood again for books! I hope you are enjoying it, you know I am a fan :D
Have a super week!
I would love to read One Amazing Thing. You have read good books.
By the way I loved "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I think the story is so uniquely different.
I have Motorcycle Diaries sitting on my shelf. You inspired me to read Columbine (did you see the note from Dave Cullen on my blog about your comment, by the way?), so maybe I'll move Motorcycle Diaries up closer to the top of the TBR pile.
Have a lovely reading week!
One Amazing Thing has been on my list forever. I can't wait to see what you make of it.
I am intrigued by Motorcycle Diaries. I've had my eye on One Amazing Thing for a while -- it looks wonderful. And I love The Goblet of Fire -- it's probably my favorite Harry Potter.
