the tense!!!

0Hi everybody!02br

00I'd like to ask you about the correct tense in the given sentences.02br
02br
001. I was reading From last time or Last time I was reading From...02br
02br
002. I was reading From lately02br
02br
00Can I use the past continuous in such cases or maybe some other tense would be better? Apart from "lately" and "last time" can I use some other expressions as well?02br
