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 🙂

    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!

  7. Jennifer-Girls Gone Reading

    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!

  12. pussreboots

    I didn't get as much reading last week. I have been sick with a cold and I was traveling.

  13. Gerbera Daisy Diaries

    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!

    I keep meaning to read a Lauren Willig book but haven't yet. Happy Reading!

  15. Crystal (I totally paused!)

    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:

    Mary Called Magdalene sounds good and so does the Max Lucado book.
