It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Read: I finally finished Mary, Called Magdalene by Margaret George on Sunday. I also knocked out a nice little Christmas book my mom gave me, The Christmas Cross, by Max Lucado. I also read The Mischief of the Mistletoe by Lauren Willig. I would call these books a guilty pleasure, but I can’t feel guilty about reading something that has me grinning like an idiot the whole way through!
Currently Reading: I had The Roar by Emma Clayton in hand, but I’m pretty sure it’s dystopian and I have to be in the right mood for that. I went completely opposite and decided to start Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland instead.
What are you reading this week?

I loved Mischief of the Mistletoe! That series and the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger are among my "guilty pleasures".
I haven't read Scones and Sensibility yet but I've been wanting to. I hope you are enjoying it.
Love guilty pleasure reads 🙂 I'm yet to read a Lauren Willig novel, must rectify that and I love Dystopian so I'll have to look into The Roar.
Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
Happy New Year Jen
You had some good Holiday reads.

I've heard really good things about both the Max Lucado book as well as Scones and Sensibility. Hopefully you really enjoy the later as well!
Happy New Year! Have a fabulous reading week and if you get a second, here’s what I’m reading this week at There’s A Book!
You did good reading. I could manage to read only one book.
Wish you and your family a very Happy New Year. May 2011 be filled with reading!
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading? post!
Oh how I loved Mary called Magdalene. My mom loved it too and it was one of the books she kept passing around to her friends. I really need to get started on the Lauren Willig books!
Loved that Lauren Willig book…starting another one myself this week.
Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland has a super cute cover. I hope it's fab. I think I will buy it too.. Happy reading to YOU>
I love dystopian books but haven't heard of The Roar. It might be interesting, but yes, you have to be in the right frame of mind for it.
Those guilty pleasures: why not? Especially if you've been smiling all week.
Happy reading!
Scones and Sensibility sounds so cute! I'm reading Prom and Prejudice, so I think we're in the same state of mind right now.
nothing at all wrong with guilty pleasures. Now a say reading an adult book is my guilty pleasure. Have a wonderful week!
I didn't get as much reading last week. I have been sick with a cold and I was traveling.
I love guilty pleasure reads — and must admit, I haven't treated myself to any in a while. All my reading lately seems forced and uninspired.
Thanks for reminding me that I should treat my guilty pleasures!
Here is my Monday:

I keep meaning to read a Lauren Willig book but haven't yet. Happy Reading!
These books sound so fun! I don't think they are guilty pleasures at all if you find good in reading them 🙂
Have a great week! Mine is at:

What's the Roar about?
Here is my list
Mary Called Magdalene sounds good and so does the Max Lucado book.
