        Buried Onions sounds interesting. I mostly read picture books, manga, short stories and text books last week. Come see what I'm reading now.

        The only title I am familiar with is Delirium, which I absolutely loved. Hope you enjoy it and all your books. Have a great week!

        Alitaeads--The only problem is that Delirium is on my computer so I don't want to sit at my computer for that long to read

        Jennifer--I randomly found Girls of Riyadh, but it looks fun

        Laurel-Rain--Have a great week too

        Sheila--Buried onions...the concept of why everyone in the town is so sad. I've left a comment

        Pussreboots--You always have such a great a varied reading week

        Jan--I have got to get to Delirium!

        Connolly-Ann--I am really looking forward to Cutting for Stone, I've heard such good things about it

        I've heard good things about Cutting for Stone - I hope you enjoy it.

        I'm currently reading Love Letters which is one my computer - I didn't think I'd like it, but it's a quick read and I was able to read 3/4 of it yesterday during the game!

        My It's Monday post can be found here.

        Kristin--3/4 of a book in a day? Wonderful!

        Elena--I loved Lauren Oliver's first book so am really looking forward to Delirium

        Joy--The buried onion concept appears throughout the book and really reminds the reader of the sadness in the characters' lives

        Crystal--So glad to hear that I am not the only one who isn't getting right to their books

        Great reading week! I'm off to read your review for the girl who fell from the sky. I'm curious... I have wanted to pick this up for while.

        Have a great week!

        You have been a big influence on my deciding to participate with you in this meme, so I mentioned you today when I wrote my very first "It's Monday! What are you reading" post:
