It's Monday! What are you reading? #3

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
  • Pop a Rescue for your own nerves or pour a glass of wine and get reading 
I'm so glad that I came across this weekly feature. Once again I failed to submit a Sunday Post as I didn't have any headlines for last week. I've published the astounding number of 1 (one) (I) post last week. I know, it's punishable by severe shame.

Do I promise to do better this week? Let's not make any promises, but I sure will try. We are going on holiday on Friday, and there are soooo many things that need to be done before we hop on that plane. Like having my nails done and getting my hair cut and packing you know. Packing takes sooo much time. Oh, and load the kindle. 

But let's get back to the more important things in life. Like reading.

The Raven by Mike Nappa (Netgalley) I ended up being rather disappointed in this one. I know it is the second instalment in a series, maybe I should read the first one. Not sure it will change my mind though.

One Hundred Days of Happiness by Fausto Brizzi This one was amazing! It was a great read and definitely brought a long a couple of days of happiness. Stay put for my review (will be up later today or early tomorrow).

Sirius by Jonathan Crown (Netgalley) Yes, this one has been on my list before, but I set it aside to get a few other Netgalley books out of the way. Just as fortune would like it, I should have stuck with this one. I didn't really enjoy any of the two I brushed the clever Sirius aside for. But like the good terrier he is, he greeted me back with a wagging tail, or in this case a welcome Heil Hitler salute.

Indiscretions of Archie by P.G. Wodehouse (Audio) I love P.G. Wodehouse, aspecially when Mark Nelson is the narator. Always the best remedy for a sour disposition.

All the birds in the sky by Charlie Jane Anders (Paperback) I hope to finish this one before Friday, my husband will not allow me to take a paperback with ("you've got a kindle, no more books"). I have been looking forward to it for quite some time!

Cross my heart, hope to read:

The following will accompany me to the clear waters and white beaches of Mauritus:

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...
