It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 7.29.13

Thanks to Jen over at www.teachmentortexts. and Kellee now at www.unleashingreaders.com for their take on this Monday meme first created by Sheila over at www.bookjourney.wordpress.com where we share what we've read over the past week.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted for this Monday meme - I've been out of town the past couple of Mondays but have been able to finish a few chapter books. 

Here is what I've read:

 

I really enjoyed Eleanor and Park and liked it, A LOT, but I didn't LOVE it like others have seemed to.  I thought the writing was excellent and liked the third person omniscient point of views and thought that Rowell executed this well.  I enjoyed Park's parents tremendously and appreciated the nuclear family Rowell included in the story. 

 

Something Blue and Summerland are both adult novels by authors that I tried for the first time this summer and really enjoyed both of them. Summerland was excellent and could even be considered somewhat of a crossover read, in my opinion.  The story is told from various characters' points of view in third person omniscient, and a few of those characters being the teens in the story.  Here is the synopsis from Goodreads. 

 

I am currently reading:

 

 

 

And not sure what to read next (when I will be in the mountains enjoying the great outdoors and some fishing and hiking):
