It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey where you can share what you are reading each week. Be sure to visit Book Journey to link up if want to join in! 

This week I am going to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which has been sitting on my shelf for a few months now. I am curious about this book, I don't really know what to expect - perhaps that is a good thing! 

I am also reading The Fault in Our Stars By John Green. I got my copy last week and have been looking forward to this book because everybody I have spoken to loves it.

I am extremely excited to get started on Catching Fire By Suzanne Collins, which is the second book in The Hunger Games Trilogy. Yes, I know I have been a bit slow to get into this series but I kept avoiding it for some reason - probably all the hype which usually makes me run the other way!! But, I can truly say that I am glad I finally read The Hunger Games as it did live up to its reputation and I have to finish the series now!

And finally I am finishing off The Snow Child By Eowyn Ivey which I have really enjoyed reading, even more than I thought I would!! I will try and post a review this week.

What are you reading this week? I love checking out everybody else's books each Monday! Make sure you join in It's Monday! What are you Reading? by linking up with Sheila over @ Book Journey.

    Hello Pamela -
    I'm glad that you liked The Snow Child. I was surprised by it too. Enjoy Catching Fire - it was good too. The third book was the one that disappointed me a little.
    Enjoy your week!

    Holy crap! You have an awesome reading list this week! I would do Catching Fire first! I need to do a re-read of THG myself..but maybe next week lol. Miss Peregrine was pretty good as well!

    I am the same way about books that are getting a lot of praise! I finally read The Hunger Games Trilogy this past December and I'm glad I did. :)

    I loved Miss Peregrine! A favorite of last year. I still need to read Catching Fire myself.

    Miss Peregrin's Home of Peculiar Children is on my TBR.

    My favorite read this week was Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. Please come see what else I'm reading.

    Every time I see Miss Peregins I keep remembering I was going to give it a try. Saw lots of good reviews for it. I read the hunger games back when they were first published here in the UK. I enjoyed them but not sure they are quite worth the hype. The first one is probably the best. Although I was the only one among my friends who actually liked the third one.

    I haven't read any of The Hunger Game books...it's just not calling to me. I did buy the books and my husband just read them. Maybe I'll read them - not sure yet. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children does sound good, though - will have to get that one!

    Have a good week!

    Quite a few of my family and friends are trying to get me into the Hunger Games, just doesn't seem like my cup of tea.
