What Are You Reading: September 13, 2010: 09/13/10

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.

I was so excited when I saw The Secret of the Old Clock. I've been afraid to go back and read any Nancy Drew books. I can't believe that Nancy, Bess, and the gang have aged well.

I finally finished re-reading The Secret of the Old Clock. The original text is so much better than the 1959 edited version.

You read a nice variety of books last week. I enjoyed The Red Pyramid and keep meaning to read Anne of Green Gables. I actually have the book somewhere on my TBR stack. Have a great reading week!

I still want to finish The Red Pyramid but my fun reading is taking a serious hit to my academic reading. Anne of Green Gables I'm re-reading. Google Books has a PDF version of the first edition for a free download.

Thank you. It's turned out to be mostly one of reading for homework and research.
