What Are You Reading: August 09, 2010: 08/08/10
It's Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme I love to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. I offer a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment. You receive one entry for every 10 comments, just come back here and tell me how many in the comment area.

The Secret of the Old Clock brings back memories. I know I've read this before. I wonder if I still have it....

I read the 1959 version early this year. Now I'm going back to read the original 1939 edition to see what's changed.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of Nancy Drew, reading it as an adult.

I like the Nancy Drew series a lot more as an adult than I did as a child.

Most of them have been very good but I'm struggling with The Lace Reader.

Grave Sight is my current book to read while my daughter is taking her bath. It's going to take a while for me to finish it.

I think it's awesome that you read with your daughter, I feel like so many kids don't have a solid reading foundation and it's so sad!
Have a great week :)

I also read with my son but both are getting to ages where they can either read alone or read to me.
