What I'm Reading- March 18, 2013

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?" is a meme hosted by Sheila from Book Journey where readers share what they are currently reading, recently read, or plan to read next.

Patiently awaiting the opening of Spring bulbs.

Spring has me excited about delving into some great reads, soaking up some sunshine with a book in hand.

Currently Reading: The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
This one came highly recommended from fellow readers and book blogger and I must agree. I can't put this one down. I am now dreaming about a house and garden filled with flowers.

Book Descpiption (from amazon.com) The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger has her questioning what’s been missing in her life. And when she’s forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it’s worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness.

Recently Finished: The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich

You can read my review about this novel here.

Up Next: Anne of Green Gables L.M. Montgomery

My book club is about to begin the Anne of Green Gables series. Although I watched the much loved television min-series, I have never read the novels so I am excited to read this classic story.

I look forward to seeing what each of you are reading this week and gathering even more titles to add to my endless list of books to read.

Have a great week!
