I am currently reading
The Geometry of Sisters by Luanne Rice: I didn't really get anywhere with this book last week. I kept getting sidetracked and picked other books over this. 
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling: I am halfway through this book and might finish it in a couple of days. From this book onwards, I don't want to rush through the series, but rather read it slow enough and enjoy the journey! My reading plans for the next week
Columbine by
Dave Cullen: I planned to start this book last night, but Harry Potter kept me busy. I'll be hoping to start this today. After reading the plenty of good reviews, I can't wait to read this. It's a huge book and may take me some time to get through it.
Glorious by Bernice L. McFadden: This is my next book to read. But whether or not I get to it this week, depends on whether I finish the huge tome that is Columbine. 
Comments
Columbine just sounds tough on a lot of levels, and I admire you for taking it on. I don't think I could. Sometimes I prefer to keep my head in the sand.
Enjoy your books this week!
PS - I've only read one HP and I'm not even sure it was the first one or the second.
have a lovely week.
Enjoy your reading week!
Have a great week!
I've been wanting to read Columbine and even checked it out from the library, but other things came up and I didn't read it before I had to return it.
