It's Monday What Are You Reading is a weekly meme hosted by Shelia at One Person's Journey Through Books.
Read this week:
Gringolandia by Lyn Miller - Lachmann
The Folk Keeper by Fanny Billingsley
The Dwarves by Markus Heitz
Reviewed:
The Body Finder by Kim Derting
Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison
This week I plan to read:
Fang by James Patterson
Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater
The Magic Half by Annie Barrows
Boost by Kathy Mackel
And I will participate in the Dewey 24- Hour Read-a-Thon
this Saturday.
I decided to sign up for this one just to see if I can actually last 24-hours. I am doubtful that I can fore go sleeping at least for a short period of time. I am a very early riser (1:00 or 2:00 AM), but I do usually require at least four or five hours of rest each day.
I have several books I will be trying to read for the read-a-thon:
Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
Jump the Cracks by Stacy DeKeyser
Smile by Raina Tegemeier
The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail by Michael Spradlin
The River by Mary Jane Beaufrand
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
I also have some backup just in case.
So what are your plans for the week?

I don't really read YA books, so I will look forward to checking out your reviews. And good luck on the readathon, there is no way I could participate in that - I would get into way too much trouble at home :-)
Here is my its Monday post if you get a chance

I've never made it all the way through the RAT...but I always start with high hopes. I'll be cheering again which is something I love to do and have my list of books ready to go too!!
Have a great week!
I loved your reviews of Sing Me to Sleep and The Body Finder. I enjoyed Lament.
I hope you have a great reading week!
Good luck with the Read-a-thon. I wouldn't be able to read 24 hours straight although I have stayed up into the early hours of the morning to finish a book before.
Good luck with your read-a-thon!
I think The Dwarves has a great title and makes me want to know more about it. Good to see you at the readathon! And thanks also for the 12 x 12 plug :)
I'm thinking about the 24 hour readathon as well, but I really don't think I can do the entire 24 hours, lol. And I forgot it was this coming weekend so I'm doing some other stuff, whoopsie!
I hope you like Dreamland, I really like Sarah Dessen :)
Response to Crystal - do what you can for hours but do come and play at the readathon :)
Those titles sound so fascinating...none of them have I heard of, but I should definitely explore them.
I hope you have a great reading week! And good luck with the read-a-thon :)
Have fun doing the read-a-thon! Hopefully I'll see you around during the day :) It looks like you have some great books lined up for it.
