  2. Weren't you saying you were teaching a class in the evenings recently? With as busy as you sound, two books is still pretty good. Here's to hoping you have an outstanding reading week. *raises glass of dr pepper*

    BTW, Jekel loves Hyde sounds delicious!

  3. You are reading Thirteen reasons Why.... I think I need to grab that off my shelf and read it this week as well. I keep forgetting it is there!

    Have a great reading week! :)

  9. Jekel Loves Hyde is one of those books I can't wait to read. I loved Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. I liked Meridian also.

    A Match Made in High School and The Cinderella Society are both on my TBR list.

    Here is my Monday list.

  22. It always amazes me when people can read more than one book at a time! It's so hard for me to focus. Maybe if I try a fiction and a non-fiction?
    You have a good list coming up for this week.

    ReplyDelete
  23. You have some really fun books coming up! I hope you enjoy them :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I enjoyed 13 Reasons Why and listened to it on Audio as well-I'll be interested to read what you think.

  25. I have Sunshine sitting on my shelf, I'm just not sure when I'll get to read it. I hear Jekel Loves Hyde is really good as well!

  34. I read Sunshine last year and really loved the story. Although, I have read mixed reviews on the book. The thing is, this book was written before many of the vamp books that are out there...it reads a bit different. Again, I liked it a lot. I hope you enjoy the read. I look forward to knowing how you like it.

    Have a great week!!!

  35. Oh, can't wait to read Cinderella Society. I'm trying to keep up with all the Tenners, and they have some amazing debut books out, I have yet to be disappointed!

    Have a great week!

  36. Two books completed and four on the go sounds pretty good to me. As long as you're enjoying them. I really hope hubby lands that job, that kind of stress is difficult for a family.
    Have a goo week.

  37. Jekel Loves Hyde is awesome. I just finished that. So gooood. And I really need to start A Match Made in High School soon. :)

    I don't know if you entered the Holey Donuts giveaway or not, but if you could check out this post and do so for my blog, it would mean a TON for my family and you can enter for the book afterwards too if you wish (White Cat by Holly Black ARC)!:
