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?
Last week, I declared I Shall Be Near To You to be my spotlight book of the week — one that I wanted to read slowly and give myself time to savor.
So how did it go?
In short, I adored it.
I Shall Be Near To You by Erin Lindsay McCabe is a beautiful, powerful book about an unforgettable young woman.
I’ll be featuring this book a few times in the coming week, with a review, a guest post, and possibly more. Stay tuned!.
The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegal: I didn’t get a chance to start this YA novel until this past weekend. I’m about halfway through, and I’m thoroughly entertained at this point.
The kiddo and I started Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede this week, and so far, it rocks! Where has this author been all my life? Clearly, I’ve been missing out.
Fresh Catch:
Books, books, books galore! I treated myself to a few books this week, thanks to strategic use of Amazon credits and a gift card! My catch of the week includes two beautiful hardcover books that I’d previously read as ARCs, plus a couple of others I’d had a hankering for:
What’s on my reading agenda for the coming week?
I have two books that I’ve been wanting to get to for a couple of weeks now:
Savage Girl by Jean Zimmerman
In The Age of Love and Chocolate by Gabrielle Zevin
And if I have time after these two, my next choice will be Then and Always by Dani Atkins.
And also in the works:
The Outlander Book Club’s re-read of An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon continues! Coming up this week: Chapters 79 – 83. 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.
The Storied Life is a delightful read and I’m adding I Shall Be Near to You to my wishlist.
Have a great reading week,
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed The Storied Life too! Have a great week. 🙂
You have some good looking books; I loved The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton and 84 Charing Cross Road has been on my TBR for some time.
I’m glad to hear you loved The Secret Keeper! I keep buying Kate Morton books because they sound like books I’ll love… but I have yet to read any. Maybe this summer, in all my free time? 🙂
Definitely put aside some time once you’ve started one everything else will be forgotten 😉
Do you recommend reading in order of publication? Or do you have a favorite that I should read first?
They don’t need to be read in order at all The Forgotten Garden and The Secret Keeper are probably my favourites but I really enjoyed them all.
