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?

My reading this past week had a very structural focus — I had a house, a hotel, and a museum on my reading list!

Henna House by Nomi Eve: Done! My review is here.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford: Done! I just finished this lovely book late on Sunday. Review to follow.

The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman: Just getting started, still a long way to go!

My son and I read the first few chapters of The Far West, book #2 in Patricia C. Wrede’s Frontier Magic trilogy.

 

Fresh Catch:

No new books this week!

What’s on my reading agenda for the coming week?

My immediate reading plans include:

The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman

The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith

California by Edan Lepucki

Pop-culture goodness:

Just eating up the new episodes of Outlander on TV! And absolutely thrilled that it’s been renewed for a 2nd season! Here’s the sneak peek at the next episode:

Ongoing book club reads:

With Outlander Book Club:

Classic Read (starting August 18th): The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.

In-depth re-read and discussion: A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon: We’ll be reading and discussing two chapters per week starting September 2nd.

Want to join one or both of the group reads? Let me know and I’ll provide the links!

And in real life:

We celebrated my little guy’s 12th birthday this week! At his request, we spent his birthday on a whitewater rafting adventure. He was thrilled, and we all had a blast. My baby is growing up! I’ll just be a shamelessly bragging mom for a minute and say that I’m so proud of my kiddo and the person he’s becoming. (Now if only I could get him to read once in a while… )

So many book, so little time…

That’s my agenda. What’s yours? Add your comments to share your bookish agenda for the week.

Happy reading!
