You have some good books awaiting you this week. I really enjoyed Cousin Kate and am curious what you'll think of it.
The Painter from Shanghai is on its way to me!
Mondays: Musings/Mailbox/whereabouts
I'm reading an oldie but goodie…Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. It's leading to some good daydreams about where I'd like to vacation!
Right now I'm reading Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on these books!
I'm reading Into the Beautiful North. Finally.
I love the quote for your blog. Here is mine
I have started a book discussion forum on my blog called Cafe Blue. I hope you will visit and join.
I just finished The Household Guide to Dying (loved it)and am in the middle of Still Alice and The Echo Maker (going very slow on this one).
Secrets to Happiness looks like a fun read. My book club won free copies of Painter and are very much looking forward to reading them. Looking forward to your review.
Hi Dar~I'm still reading Bastard King by Jean Plaidy~almost done.
I recently added Last Night in Montreal to my wish list…I look forward to your review. Happy Monday!
First all, love the new look! And second, I bet Sarah Dunn's is a good one. 🙂
I finished:
Shanghai Girls–loved it
Accidental Demon Slayer-good
currently reading:
Beach Trip–loving it!!
Great books. I have just started tucking into High Fidelity by Nick Hornby and I am really enjoying it.
I'm looking forward to your review of The Painter from Shanghai.
Right now I'm listening to Tilt-a-Whirl by Chris Grabenstein and Notes From a Big Country by Bill Bryson, and re-reading Careless in Red by Elizabeth George.
I am reading The Great Gasby, The Time Travelers Wife, and Daisy Miller. I just saw on the author's web page that Painter from Shanghai is now out in paperback.
I'm about midway through Last Night In Montreal. I have been waiting until then to fully read your review.
The Painter from Shanghai is definitely on my TBR list. Hope you enjoy it!
I love this meme. Call me nosey, but I love to read about what people are reading.
Those all sound great. I'll be awaiting your reviews.
How is Cousin Kate so far? I'm a Heyer fan. I'm nearly done now with The Convenient Marriage.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Much appreciated!
Jo-Jo, Painter From Shanghai was awesome.
Lilly, I'm still working on Cousin Kate. My migraine really threw my reading off. However I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm curious to see where it's going.
Teashop Girl, Under the Tuscan Sun was such a good book. Gosh, I loved that book.
Rebecca, I keep going back and forth on whether to read Still Alice or not. I'd like to on one hand but on the other it may be a difficult read for me.
Jess, I can't wait to see what you'll think of Painter.
Staci, I won Shanghai Girls from Bonnie. I can't wait to read it.
Naida, Cousin Kate is really good so far. I'm only about 50 pages in but really enjoying it.
