My Monday tradition, including a look back and a look ahead — what I read last week, what new books came my way, and what books are keeping me busy right now. Plus a smattering of other stuff too.
What did I read last week?
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman: The illustrated version is such a treat! See below for a link to my post about this book and Saga.
Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman: I finished the audiobook! My review is here.
Binti by Nnedi Okarafor: Another audiobook — I decided to re-read via audio, and although I’m glad I revisited the story, I can’t say that I was terribly impressed by the audiobook itself. This is one book thats’ definitely better on the page.
In graphic novels:
I caught up on Saga! Such an amazing series.
I wrote up some thoughts on Neverwhere and Saga, here.
Fresh Catch:
Three new books this week:
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
I’m FINALLY reading Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld, which has been sitting on my nightstand for over a year now.
Now playing via audiobook:
Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions by Amy Stewart: I’m really excited to be starting the 3rd Kopp Sisters book!
Ongoing reads:
Book group reads:
- Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott: Finally, it’s the last week of my book group’s classic read!
- Lord John and the Succubus by Diana Gabaldon: Our group read of this novella continues — contact me if you’d like to join in.
So many books, so little time…
Save
Last week I saw Binti in the bookstore and I really, really wanted to buy it, but then I bought another book. I know! Why??? I’m going back, for sure! I really want to read Binti.
It’s so worth it! And an added plus — it’s really short, so you’ll have plenty of time for other reading too. 🙂
