        I've seen a few reviews of The Death of Instinct that make it sound good. Will look forward to your review. I wasn't terribly thrilled with his An Interpretation of Murder (with Freud). Maybe he's gotten better?

        Here's my Monday: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_30.html

        So many good books Helen! I hope you are enjoying them all! The one about Iran sounds interesting I am going to have to peak at that one.

        Oh and your sidebar "What;s In My Purse" gave me an idea... LOL... my purse currently isn't big enough for a book.

        I wish I have not requested many books from Netgalley so I can request Delirium now

        I have seen Running Dream and want to read it as I love Van Draanen's writing. I really enjoyed Delirium and hope you do too. Have a great week!

        Hope you have a great reading week.

        Oh, this is where I wish I had wordpress or Intense Debate or Disqus so I could respond to each comment individually...

        Jennifer and Pussreboots--I'll check out your Monday after I finish these responses

        Bev--Death Instinct wasn't my thing, I'll post the review Wednesday night

        Sheila--I always have a book in my purse so I figured it was a good way to show what I'm reading

        Samita--I hear such good things about Delirium and I really liked Oliver's Before I Fall

        Aleetha--Is there a limit to how many books we can request from Netgalley or are you just limiting yourself? I've got four waiting

        Jan--Running Dream was the perfect book for me to read at that moment; I enjoyed it so much!

        Laurel-Rain--I just started Girl Who Fell From the SKy last night so am only a few pages in. But, so far so good!

        I really want to read Delirium by Lauren Oliver. There's such a hype around it already and I have high hopes for it. I hope it delivers.

        Have a wonderful Monday!

        Nina--I also have high hopes for Delirium, which always makes me a bit nervous. But, since I liked her previous book so much I will think good thoughts.

        Julie--Enjoy your week as well. I am about to pop over to your blog

        Dizzy C--You too! I hope you find wonderful books
