Not a lofty, ambitious to-be-read list consisting of 100+ book titles. Just a simple plan for the upcoming week — what I’m reading now, what I plan to read next, and what I’m hoping to squeeze in among the nooks and crannies.
How did I do with last week’s agenda?
House of Glass by Sophie Littlefield: Done! A story of a home invasion that quickly spirals out of control, House of Glass focuses on the family whose world is turned upside down and how their relationships and secrets factor into the dangerous situation they face. Shelleyrae at Book’d Out wrote a spot-on review of this book; you can see it here.
The Opposite of Maybe by Maddie Dawson. Done! My review is here.
16 Things I Thought Were True by Janet Gurtler: Done! My author Q&A, review, and blog tour post can be found here.
The kiddo and I are finished D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths this week, and loved it! A great book to share, one that we each enjoyed. Finally, a successful book pick for the two of us!
Fresh Catch:
One library book:
Two books I just had to buy before that Amazon gift card burned a hole in my pocket:
(PS – I’ve read Sailor Twain already, but didn’t own a copy — and now that it’s out in paperback, just couldn’t resist!)
And the next volume in one of my ongoing series… which I really, seriously need to get caught up on one of these days:
What’s on my reading agenda for the coming week?
I’m so excited to read Sunrise by Mike Mullin, book three in the terrific trilogy that starts with Ashfall and Ashen Winter. My blog tour post will be up on March 15th — be sure to check it out!
I’m also practically bouncing off the walls waiting for the new Mercy Thompson book to arrive this week! Night Broken by Patricia Briggs will be released this Tuesday, and this will be a (as they call it in my son’s school) DEAR book for me — “drop everything and read”! Can’t wait.
And also in the works:
Next up for the kiddo and me: We’re just starting Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper.
The Outlander Book Club’s re-read of An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon continues! Coming up this week: Chapters 39 – 43. Want to join in? Contact me and I’ll provide all the details!
So many book, so little time…
That’s my agenda. What’s yours? Add your comments to share your bookish agenda for the week.
your interest seems to vary a lot. but I guess it keeps you entertained
Definitely! I like to mix things up a bit, switch genres and styles, find new things that interest me. I find that my attention wanders if I read too many similar books in a row. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for the shout out, I hope you enjoyed House of Glass too
Thanks, Shelleyrae! I enjoyed it, but drew a total blank when it came to writing a review. Your review really summed up a lot of how I felt about it!
So, was House of Glass the book that inspired “It Was Fine” the other day?
Ha, guess I wasn’t being very subtle about it. 🙂
Lack of a review kinda tipped me off.
Oooh Sailor Twain! I keep asking my library to buy it but I think they’re ignoring me at this point. Think I’m going to have to break down and buy it, especially with it being in paperback now. 🙂 Looking forward to Sunrise!!!
I loved Sailor Twain! I read a library copy when it came out, and it’s been on my must-get-a-copy-of-my-own list ever since!
