It's Monday, What are you reading?

Well, I have run out of scheduled posts.  I still have books to review, but I was managing to get myself ahead each week so I had some wiggle room for days I got busy.  Hopefully I will get some time to catch up on some more reviews soon.

Finished this week:
Home Front by Kristin Hannah (audio)
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (reread)

Still reading:
Inkheart by Corneila Funke
1st to Die by James Paterson
Running on Empty by Marshall Ulrich

Surprisingly, my reread of Outlander took me much longer than I thought it would.  I know it is a dense novel, with small print, but I just didn't enjoy it quite as much this time through.  I am not sure exactly how many times I've read it since discovering it ten years ago, but this was my least enjoyable time.  I still like the story, but I don't think I was in the right mood for it.

    I still can't believe that I haven't read the Outlander series yet! I had to opportunity to meet the author when she came to my town for a book signing years ago and at that time intended to pick up the entire series and read them all that summer... I hope you enjoy your reads this week! :)

    Here is what I'm reading this week:

    I haven't tried the Outlander series either. It is one of those that I have seen around forever but just haven't gotten to. I did a little re-reading this week too. My Monday Report is here. Have a great week!

    I've read Outlander a bunch of times too... It's sort of like an old friend now, I can just pick it up and open up to any part and get lost in it. Sorry you didn't enjoy this read as much.

    Happy Monday!

    I bought a copy of Outlander at a used book sale earlier this summer. I think I'm one of the few on the planet that hasn't read it yet.

    I listened to the audio of Home Front earlier this year. I was a little disappointed in it. I thought it was a powerful story but the children were unbearably whiny and I was having trouble liking the characters.
