It's Monday What Are You Reading is weekly meme which is started by Sheila from One Persons Journey Through a World of Books.
This week I choose two books to read,
Vampyre Kisses is an enthralling story about a young woman named Faith, who seems content with her life, but deep down craves more excitement. Then a mysterious man named Trent enters her world and everything changes. Surprising to Faith, Trent is a green-eyed vampire from Ireland. She is even more amazed to find out that she is a witch, and the last of her kind.
Faith learns that she is destined to restore her witch line and becomes more powerful as she gains confidence and knowledge, but danger lurks everywhere -- especially when unknown assailants steal the most important gems from the vampire master and werewolf royalty.
Now surrounded by a world filled with mystifying vampires and werewolves, can Faith gain enough power to help her friends and rescue the stolen gems? (Goodreads)
The year is 1806, England is beleaguered by the long war with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains, the reclusive Mr Norrell, whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very antithesis of Norrel. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms that between England and France. And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine. (Goodreads)
So What are you reading?

Magna (it's on ebook format, I got it from netGalley) by Nicole O'Dell .
The Synopsis from her website:
Molly Jacobs isn’t sure what she should do: Should she follow through with stealing some clothes for her friends from Magna, the trendy girls clothing store where she works? Or should she do what she knows is right, even if it means disappointing her best friends and possibly losing them forever? Girls ages 10 to 15 make the choice in this interactive story and see how the consequences of the alternate endings change Molly’s life. Includes a contract and prayer to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions.
After that I plan to read Emmy and The Incredible Shrinking Rat
This book has been translated into Indonesian by Atria. I love the color of the cover.
So what are you reading ?

I couldn't figure out how or where to post on your more current What are you reading post... no idea why I don't see it... may be tired :)
Good to have you participating again!
Vampyre Kisses sounds great! I may have to pick that one up!
Have a great week :)
I can see that it would be hard to understand Terry Pratchett in translation since word play and language is a large part of his books. He's one of my favorites.
I hope you're enjoying Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. I've had the book for a couple of years now, but somehow have yet to get around to reading it.
@sheila
I put the current reading with the date. So the latest one I put in the first place.
@Heather
Yeah, my friend also said so.She recomment me to read the english version
Thanks for stopping by The Window Seat Reader :) I haven't heard of any of the books you mention, but I hope you enjoy them!
Thank you so much for stopping by earlier! I hope you really enjoy reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, my hubby recently read it and really loved it.
Have a fabulous reading week!
