One more week down, again a very busy week in work but thankfully with far less worries. Life My last couple of months were very busy with work, since I started a new project. While there's more coming up over the next few weeks, I am also hoping that maybe I have passed the point where it stops being a part of every waking moment and allow me to be able to read without interrupting thoughts fluttering around in my head. We'll see. We got enough snow yesterday for the kids to be able to play and make a snow man. All the snow melted by noon but we are getting more overnight so hopefully there's more snow fun to be had. Reading After not being able to stay with a book long enough to be pulled into it for the past couple of weeks, I was desperately looking for a book that was both a fast read and also one that I would love. That was a high bar to meet even under the best of circumstances, but luckily, yesterday morning, I found just the book. I devoured Meichi Ng's Bare

Books on my nightstand
A House at the Edge of Tears by Vénus Khoury-Ghata: This is one of the books I am reading for the Spotlight Series this month. It's very short, but the writing isn't as simple. Still I would like to give it a try one night and see how far I last.
A Partisan's Daughter
by Louis de Bernières: If and when I do hit the gym this week, I'll be listening to this book. With a hectic week ahead of me, I'm not sure how often that will be. What do you think of this cover? For some reason, it makes me feel as if I'm looking at a movie poster.

Nice to see that 'Partisan's Daughter' is on your list. I read that earlier this year. Not like his other books but still, I'm a firm De Bernieres fan. Hope you enjoy the Ghata too. I read 'The Calligrapher's Night' by Yasmine Ghata, Venus-Ghoury Ghata's granddaughter. It was ok, but it would be interesting to know what you thought of it. You might want to check out my reviews of them after you finish.
Happy reading!
