It’s Monday What Are You Reading This Week is a weekly meme hosted by
Sheila from Book Journey. We use this meme to share what we have read in the
past week and what our plans are for the upcoming week.
It was a four-day weekend last week for us in Malaysia to
celebrate Chinese New Year. Hubs and I took the opportunity to take the kids on a quick
beach holiday in Kuantan. You’d think I would have managed to sneak in a couple
of pages in between but seriously I was occupied trying to make sure the kids
were ok at the pool or trying to get their ass out of the pool which requires
150% of my time and energy especially when your kids are below 4 years old.
Ok enough about my holiday, last week I finished reading Going Gray by Brian
Spangler. You can read my thoughts on the book here. I intended to listen to Curious George
Rides a Bike with the kids but I think maybe the audiobook is too long a
duration for them. They would listen to it for the first 2 minutes
and then suddenly they’ll lose interest and request for their favorite audiobook
Jack and the Beanstalk instead. We did listen to The Gruffalo on our drive back
home from the resort and the kids and I quite enjoyed it.
This week, I’m reading The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.
I’m just a couple of pages in and I’m liking it so far. I also started
listening to The Walk by Richard Paul Evans this morning on my drive to work.
This audiobook was kinda an impulse purchase. It seemed to have great reviews
both on Audible as well as Goodreads plus its only a 4 hour listen. So that’s my reading list this week.
Anyway, I’m back at work today after a four-day weekend and
as you can imagine I literally had to drag myself out of bed for work this
morning. I’ll be having a really busy time at work from now right up till June.
It’s like that every year. So I do hope that I’ll be able to keep up with my
reading and blogging despite my busy schedule. In the meantime, happy reading
everyone and do share whats on your reading list this week!

I was excited for Rosie, but was disappointed in the portrayal of Aspbergers, although he never uses that word.
I really enjoyed The Rosie Project as I only read it fairly recently. (The second - The Rosie Effect - impressed me far less!)
Have a great week.
