It's Monday What Are You Reading is a wonderful weekly meme hosted by Shelia at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books, and asks the question: What are you reading?
Last week I wasn't able to read much during the week due to parent teacher conference, which marks for me a halfway mark into the first semester. It is actaully amazing how quickly the days have flown by this year as it really only seems like a few weeks ago I was starting back to school.
The good news is that while I work later two nights a week I also got an extra day off and of course I used that free time to catch up on my reading.
Books read:
Annexed by Sharon Dogar (Peter's view of life in the attic hiding from the Nazis)
Matched by Alle Condie (a debut dystopian novel)
Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill (fictional account of the Salem hysteria told in verse)
Reviews posted:
Heart With Joy by Steve Cushman (a wonderful coming of age story with great characterization)
Nevermore by Kelly Creagh (a debut novel and a perfect read for October)
Currently Listening to:
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Hope you had a great week!

Oooh - Wicked Girls sounds interesting - The Salem Trials are fascinating and I love verse novels.
Also, looking forward to your thoughts on Matched :)

Kyaaaa!! Matched <3 I'm going to trade my pinky for that book!!! 8D
Ah, a dystopian novel! Matched. I don't know it, but "dystopian" always sounds good. Hope you'll do a review on it this week.
Happy reading!
Seriously don't miss being the teacher part of parent teacher conferences! Hope they all went well. Thanks for visiting my blog!
I loved Matched and I want to read Wicked Girls. I will have to read your review of Nevermore. I kind of put it aside to read The Lost Hero because I couldn't wait to start that one.
I hope you enjoy the Patrick Ness novel. I really need to get around to reading it as well as the Gone novels. Have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by; looks like you got a nice selection this week.
I have seen a lot of Matched around. I think I need to look closer at that one. Have a greta week!
GREAT week. I meant great week. I dont know what a greta week is. :) LOL
What a great week you have! I can't wait to read Matched. Happy reading! I'm a new follower. :-)

Thanks! for sharing.

The Knife of Never Letting Go would be great in audio! I read it about a week ago, and woah so good :)
Ohhh! I definitely want to hear your thoughts on Matched; I've seen good things all over the blogosphere!
I just read an article in School Library Journal about Annexed and how Dogar sexualized Peter and Anne's relationship. I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on that one, especially because I ordered it for my shelves at school!!! I received an email from Cushman to read his book and now I remember reading your great review of this one, so I may have to rethink accepting a review copy!! Looks like your week was great even with those P-T conferences. Ours are right around the corner and I'm with you at how fast this school year is going already!!
Have a great week!
I remember attending parent-teacher conferences. I do miss those times. My position was one of the eliminated positions due to economy.
Thank you for stopping by my site. Your books sound great. Happy Reading.
hi jan! i'm contemplating getting matched. i can't wait to read your review :)
I hope you're enjoying The Knife of Never Letting Go! Happy reading!
Nice week, I have both Nevermore and Matched on my to read list.
I've been hearing a lot about Patrick Ness' books! I need to read that one!
