It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted each week over at One Person's Journey Through A World Of Books. Thanks for keeping us all on track with our reading.
Last week wasn't as successful as I'd hoped in terms of reading, but I know exactly why that was. Two visits to the PNE with all the distractions that entails. Long term distractions from the PNE include getting re-fired-up about spinning, knitting and crochet. It happens every year that I go, talk to the spinners there and that's all I want to do when I get home - not to mention the new wool I end up buying. So, at the moment, I've spent a good part of the week detangling a hank of silk/merino I've spun earlier in the year, and also a mess from one of my previous crochet projects. Not to mention, the drop-spindle of merino I've got going right now.
Last week I read:
My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. Children's fiction, 1960 Newberry Honour winner.
I'm currently reading:
Peony In Love by Lisa See. Fiction, history, set in 17th century China. I'm quite enjoying this read.
The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman. Fiction, history, ARC.
I have no clue what I intend to read next though.

My Side of the Mountain was one of my childhood favorites; re-read more times than I can count. Hope you enjoy.
The Dovekeepers sounds so good... I could use a good historical fiction read...
I did enjoy it RAnn. Thanks. Hope you have a good week.
So far, I've been enjoying The Dovekeepers, Sheila. Thanks for dropping in with a comment.
Oh wow, I remember My Side of the Mountain from elementary school. What a great book!
