I've been having quite a few busy weekends and haven't been able to post often on Sundays. Renovating I have dropped a teaser here a few times but here's the scoop finally - We are renovating a big chunk of our main level. We've been planning this for the past 6-7 months. It started as a kitchen renovation project but now includes flooring through the main floor and master bathroom. We will have the renovation crew start tomorrow and depending on when all the materials get in, it could be 1.5-3 months before they are done. I just hope the flooring is done quickly because then we can reclaim some of the main floor back. Not having a kitchen for 2-3 months is going to be very challenging but we've been promised a small work area on the main floor where we can cook early morning and later in the evening.

I am currently reading
Liar by Justine Larbalestier:
I have to say this book is pretty interesting, though the narrator's shrilly dialogues are irritating my ears. I'm only on disk 2, with 7 more left, and I listen an hour a day (when I hit the gym) so hopefully, I will complete this one within 7 gym days.
White Oleander by Janet Fitch:
I couldn't get into this the first time, so I took a short break and returned back to it. I hope I'll complete this one this week itself.
Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel:
I'm reading this one for the Spotlight Series, and am interested in this book for its theme as well - depression, obsession and compulsiveness. My review will come up only on March 23rd, but with a paper due on March 22nd, I don't want to wait till then to read it.
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs:
My slow last week didn't get me to this book as soon as I expected, but hopefully, this weekend will be spent on this one.
