(Meme) It’s Monday, What are you reading? The 6th Edition on the 6th Day of February

One of my favorite bloggers Sheila from Book Journey is the host of this weekly meme. If you haven’t checked out Sheila’s blog yet then what are you waiting for. I love reading Sheila’s blog because she covers it all and I always end up walking away like I get to know Sheila a little more from her post.

I also just discovered recently that Sheila has partnered with Jen from Teach Mentor Texts and they come up with  a fun meme with a kidlit focus – anyone reading and reviewing books in children’s literature – it can be picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, you name it in the world of kidlit and it’s in!

So in case you are wondering what It’s Monday! What are you reading? is about well its a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It’s also a great chance to see what others are reading right now…who knows, you might discover that next “must read” book!

I am late in getting this up because its been very busy the last few days. Michael had three hockey games this past weekend (Friday 3-1, Saturday 1-1 and Sunday 3-2) and the team won two and tied one and then we spent the rest of the weekend working on a penguin project which he has to present on Wednesday and a french fairy tail that he has to present on Thursday. So its been busy and I wasn’t able to get much done this week in regards to reading.

This morning I had to volunteer in the school library and it was a full morning we had 5 classes and it ranged from a grade 3,4 5(2 classes) and a grade 6. I didn’t read this morning because I had a sore throat and hoping it was due to all the cheering I did. Fingers crossed.

Last week was a very slow reading week for me and it was mainly do to all the running around I had to do with various activities and the fact that I was really tired and was going to bed earlier then normal. Hopefully I will get back on track.

What I read this past week:

So last week I completed this:

I enjoyed it and my review will be up tomorrow for it.

I am currently reading this:

I have to admit that I am not sure if its just me but I am having a hard time getting into this book. I am only at page 72 and have been reading it most of the week. I just can’t seem to get into this one. I know this is already out in the UK (and this is where I got the book from) and its only going to be released in Canda in the fall. 

Has this ever happened to you?

What will be up next:

Hope everyone has a good week.

This is what I read and whats on my agenda. I hope everyone has a good reading week.

Can you believe that this is the very last Monday of  January? Where is the time going? I have no idea where January went but phew I wish it would slow down some. Surprisingly this is up early for once and that is because I actually prepared this post in advance and have it schedule to post. Yea me.

Well this will probably be up while I am volunteering at my son’s school library. I am really enjoying this and its so much fun to see some many kids I know. I love giving them book ideas.

Since working in this enviroment I have been contemplating going back to school to get a degree in Library Science so that I can eventually work in a library enviroment proferably a school. That will be the plan this week to contact the local CJEP (sort of like a intro to university or almost equal to a grade 12 elsewhere) I will keep you posted on what I end up doing. Wish me luck.

Last week was a slow week in reading for me. I only read one and a quarter books.

What I read this past week:

I really enjoyed this book.

Currently reading:

Hope everyone has a good week.

Can you believe that we are almost at the end of January? Where is the time going? I am a little late in getting this up today because of course its Monday and its my day to work in the school library. I love working in the library and have been thinking about going back to school perhaps in the fall to take a library science course. I would love to work in a school library.

Once again the weather has changed from last week. Today it was very mild out compared to last week’s freezing cold weather. Apparently we will be sitting at around 0 most of the week. Tonight its pouring rain so hopefully it won’t freeze over night other wise it will be messy in the am.

Last week was a slow week in reading for me. I only read one and a half books. I was reading Bunheads and I because I have been busy during the day cleaning the house and getting it ready for Michael’s first Communion in May I haven’t been reading during the day so my reading has been happening at bed time. Then on Friday morning I managed to hurt my back so I ended up on the couch most of the day and Bunheads was upstairs so I had to pick another book to read.

What I read this past week:

I ended up buying this last week because last Monday we were talking about this in the library and after we talked about it I just had to pick it up. Apparently the grade 6 classes are reading this in the class. Wow what a book. I have never read it but it was always on my wishlist.

This is my current read:

I am 3/4 of the way done this so I am sure I will finish it either tonight or tomorrow night.

I am not sure what I will be reading next as I have to check to see what my commitments are like and whats upcoming.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Can you believe that we are into our third week of January? Where is the time going? I am a little late in getting this up today because of course its Monday and its my day to work in the school library. I love working in the library and have been thinking about going back to school perhaps in the fall to take a library science course. I would love to work in a school library.

The weather has changed very drastically here in Montreal. The past few days have been extremely cold with almost temps of -25. Its almost typical weather for us but a shock when its been above average temps. We got hit with a major snow fall last week and I hear there is more coming tomorrow along with freezing rain so that should be alot of fun….NOT!

Last week was a slow week in reading for me. I only read one book. Not sure what happened as I was on a roll but I think it was getting back into the swing of things and into a routine. Looking forward to getting the reading back into gear.

What I read this past week:

I managed to finish this up last week and I was almost going to give up because I was having a hard time but then I got to a point and was like a manic. I had to know what was going to happen. I really enjoyed this one. My review will be posted this week.
This is my current read:

I will begin this one tonight and I am excited as I love the cover.
This is what I read and whats on my agenda. I hope everyone has a good reading week.

Well we are beginning the second week of January and Michael is back at school and I am back to volunteering in the school library again. I missed working in the library. It will be nice to see the Monday ladies again.

This weekend we found out that Michael’s hockey team is number one in the novice C division and we are undefeated to date. The only thing that bothers me is how certain parents feel as though there are only two kids who score for the team and that they are working the hardest. Gee they are only 7-8 and 9 years old. They aren’t professionals. I noticed this weekend that those two kids never pass the puck so of course they are the ones getting the goals. I just think that perhaps parents need to watch what they say around other parents because there is no I in TEAM.

I was really pleased with my reading last week. I managed to get two books read and a weeks worth of blog posts up on the blog. So anyways lets get on to my reading expectations.

What I read this past week:

I was pleasantly surprised that I actually read two books last week. Go me! HEHE

So my current read this week is:

When I finish with that I am hoping to pick up:

This is what I read and whats on my agenda. I hope everyone has a good reading week.

It’s Monday! What are you reading? (meme) #1

 Happy New Year everyone. I hope everyone had a good holiday season and that Santa was good to everyone.

It was good but extremely busy more so then usually but it was good. Over the holiday Michael took part in a curling tournament and his team came in second place out of seven teams. This teams came from a few places in Quebec and one Ontario team.

As for hockey the team lost in the tournament, Michael didn’t get to play in the deciding game because he had curling.

We did alot of visiting with friends and family and it was so much fun. We are slowly getting back into reality so to speak and Michael is home another week before he starts back to school so it will be nice to chill this week.

I figured since it was the new year that I would take part in It’s Monday! What are you reading? again. I did some of it last year but for some reason I think I got myself overwhelmed and was commiting to reading to many books in a week so this year will be different.

For me I will be keeping this simple and not overwhelming myself like I did the last time. I am going to base this on a Sunday to Sunday week and I am going to be posting my reviews during the current week.

What I read:

I read this one yesterday, Sunday. It was a some what fast read but very heavy and sad. Review will be posted this week.

What I am currently reading:

What will be my next read:

So this is what I have planned, what about you?

It’s Monday, What are you reading? #35



It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers to see what they have read and what they are reading this week.

The wonderful host of this weekly meme is Shelia from Book Journey. You can check out Sheila’s blog to find out all the details on how to take part in this fun weekly meme. Although I should warn you that this can lead to an ever increasing TBR pile, wish list or borrowed books from the library.

I just realized that this is my 35th post for It’s Monday! What are you reading? Time is flying by .

It was another week that not much reading got done and I really thought that once Michael went back to school (Wed) that I would have done some reading but I ended up catching up on things that really needed to be done in the house, errands and being sick. (Once again!)

First day back to school. Aug 31/11 in front of our house.

So this week I am hoping to get into the following books:

To The Moon and Back
Fiendish Deeds (Joy of Spooking)

Just a reminder that if you live in the Montreal area (or surrounding area) P.J Bracegirdle will be signing his latest book Sinister Scenes, Sept 17th. I want to thank Simon & Schuster Canada for inviting me to attend the signing. I will be there along with some other Montreal Book Bloggers.

So this is what I am currently reading and hoping to finish this week.
