It's Monday, Here's What I'm Reading 3/22

Sadly, no books in my mailbox last week, or from the library. I'm reading way ahead on my ARCs, but procrastinating on the reviews. Finished The Queen's Governess by Karen Harper, which was a library book, and really enjoyed this other perspective into the formative years and early reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Enjoyed Men and Dogs by Katie Crouch and also plowed my way through The Dark Rose by Cynthia Harrod Eagles, the second book in her Moreland Family series.  She's up to 32! The story follows the fictious Moreland family, well-to-do wool merchants beginning during the War of the Roses and going through modern times. The Dark Rose focuses on the reign of Henry VIII. I'm liking them so much I'm not waiting for the next ARC, I've put the third on hold at my library. Started Wendy Holden's Farm Fatale the other day, it's a fun, British, women's story of city people moving to the country. Green Acres, anyone?
So that's my sadly short reading update for this week, although The Dark Rose is almost 600 pages, so that took several days.

Here's all the books for which I need to write reviews, in the order of their publication.
  • Get Lucky by Katherine Center
  • Men and Dogs by Katie Crouch
  • Beautiful People by Wendy Holden
  • The Founding by Cynthia Harrod Eagles
  • Watermark by Vanitha Sankaran (I'll be having a giveaway!)
  • The Dark Rose by Cynthia Harrod Eagles

Have you read anything great this week? Or maybe something by one of these authors?
It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is sponsored by Sheila at One Woman's Journey Through a World of Books. There's lots of great books to hear about over there, so click on by!!

  1. I am behind of reviews for the blog too, but had a tough week cranking them out for other publications.

    Let us both get cracking!

  2. Too bad writing reviews isn't as much fun as reading books!

  3. Good for you catching up on some ARCS! That is what I need to do! You have some wonderful reviews coming up.

    If you get a chance pop back over and if you can link your blog to the McKlinky that would be great. The link you left just goes to my blog... and I think we want it to go to yours so people can visit you :)

    Thanks Elizabeth!

  4. Oooh, those Wars of the Roses books sound fun!

    I used to be obsessed with the Tudors when I was really little! I loved going to Hampton Court and pretending King Henry was there.

    Looking back, though, I'm not sure he was the best role model...!!!

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
