So many Mondays have passed since I last partook in this meme. I might as well make today Day one and not just One day.

It's Monday! What are you reading? This weekly feature is hosted by Bookdate and it's a great way to get your reading week sorted. All you need to do is: 

    badge
  • Tell us what you are currently reading
  • What did you finish reading last week
  • What do you plan on reading next
  • Add your link to the linky provided by your host
  • Visit the other bloggers who also deal with terrible Mondays, but still find the time to prioritize their reading schedules
  • Make sure to read really awesome books in order to increase the above mentioned bloggers' stress levels by adding even more books to their TBR list
  • Stop whining and get reading 


 Recently Finished:

Now that is a really boring title. Nothing much to say concerning the story-line either. I won't recommend this one. I know somewhere during the passed 4 months I've read The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks, if that counts at all. 


Currently Reading:

The mirror crack'd from side to side by Agatha Christie This is a re-read and not the first time either. There's just something about this title and the whole plot around this story that really touches me at the moment. Sometimes life just freezes you for a couple of moments and you are left with nothing more than a dreaded look on your face. Quite similar to The Lady of Shalott yes.

Fish of the Seto Inland sea Ruri Pilgrim I borrowed this one from my mother-in-law. Lovely cover and an even lovelier title. Don't really know what it's about however. Will keep you posted. 

The Yellow Envelope by Kim Dinan I need a bit of yellow. This one has been on my Netgalley shelf for way to long and luckily it is almost time for the release date. Might as well read and review it now. 


That's it from me today. I still need to sort out my reading schedules for 2017. *Gasp*. Life goes on and so does reading schedules and blog posts. Day one. Done.

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
