What I'm Reading Monday #1

I have always wanted to do this meme, but somehow I've always failed to do so.  Not today though!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is brought to you by Sheila at Book Journey

What I read this week:

Because it was Readathon, I read quite a bit!  So here's the list:

4/4 Mr. Monster by Dan Wells- yet another awesome novel in the John Cleaver series!
4/5 Without You by Anthony Rapp- a wonderful, moving autobiography about the illness and death of his mother while he was getting involved with the Broadway play, Rent.  If you love Rent, have lost a loved one, or are interested in GLBT issues, then I can recommend this book!  As a huge Rent fan, it was wonderful to get a behind the scenes look of how the show came together- Rapp, who I loved from Adventures in Babysitting, was part of the play from the beginning. 
4/8 The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen- I have no idea why this book sat wasting away on my Kindle for so long, because it was AMAZING, just like her other books. 
And for Readathon:
The Blackstone Chronicles Part One An Eye for an Eye: The Doll by John Saul
Sweet Valley High #31 Taking Sides by Francine Pascal
The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain
The Blackstone Chronicles Part Two Twist of Fate: The Locket by John Saul
Something At The Window Is Scratching by Roman Dirge
Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Blood and Smoke by Stephen King
32 Candles by Ernessa T. Carter
The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger

  1. Whoa! You read a TON for the readathon! I wanted to participate, but I work so much during the weekends that it was impossible.

    I just finished reading The Priest's Graveyard 2 days ago! Are you on to blog tour as well? My review doesn't go up til the 20th.

  6. I love how you read so many books on Saturday, but not the book you had for read for book club! It's a quick read. I think you'll like it. I really want to hear what you say about Started Early, Took the Dog. It looks interesting!
