I am currently reading

The Chopin ManuscriptThe Chopin Manuscript by Jeffery Deaver (Audio book): I started this one last week. It's getting interesting, but unfortunately, I'm not getting much time to listen to it.

My reading plans for the next week

RainwaterRainwater by Sandra Brown: This one is due back in the library this Friday (one of the victims of my simultaneous holds coming together). I just might read this, I really want to, but I'll be choosing between this one and the book below!



Not my DaughterNot my Daughter by Barbara Delinsky: I've read a lot of good reviews about this book over the last week, that I'm really keen to read this one. What do you do, when you have to choose between two books you want to read? Try to read both, right? Probably give everything else second importance only? ::shudder::
Check out what others are reading here!

I'd want to read both of those too :( - I hope you manage it.

Happy reading!
I'll be looking forward to your review of City of Bones.

I came across The Chopin Manuscript somewhere, and it sounds intriguing. I can't wait to see what you think of that one either.

Enjoy your books!
