What Are You Reading?

Sheila at Book Journey hosts this weekly event where we celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.

I was so careful not to mention the fact that while everyone around  me was getting sick, I had not succumbed.  That is no longer true, I have been sick all week with a cough.

Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:

Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead

The VanMeter family is gathered at their summer home for the shotgun wedding of Daphne. This a delightful debut told mostly in the voice of Winn, father of the bride. There is just enough family dysfunction, ill-behaving wealthy adults to draw me into all the drama going on over the weekend. I look forward to more from this author.


Blessed Are Those Who Thirst by Anne Holt

Second book in the Hanne Wilhelmsen series. Hanne has a strange case of a blood soaked shed, numbers written in blood on the wall with no body anywhere to be found when a rape case lands on her desk. The investigation stalls, another bloody scene with no body turns up. She is determined and methodically investigates. I love this character and am glad these books found their way to the US.

I am getting close to finishing 3 audios. I have a couple waiting patiently for their turn!

Up Next:
Just One Day by Gayle Forman
If You Give A Rake A Ruby by Shanna Galen
Free Fall by Catherine Mann

Shattered by Dani Pettrey

HELP! Blogger is giving me fits with my colored text box (above). It keeps changing the HTML code and I lose the colored box, but the text stays.  I am looking for HTML for an easily used colored text box, any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Hope you feel better soon...and I have no knowledge of how to do the colored box on Blogger....I'd love to learn that, too, since I still have two Blogger sites.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

I gave up on Blogger almost 2 years ago. Wordpress is so much easier but I know it is hard to make the switch.

I hope you feel better real soon.

Sorry that I can't help with the html :/

I hope you feel better soon! It's so frustrating to feel like someone in the family gets better only for someone else to bring something home! Take it easy and I hope you enjoy your reads this week. :)

You've been having a rough time, I do hope you're on the mend soon Nise. I'm a blogger girl but always wondered how to do those coloured boxes. I'll ask my son and get back to you.
