Which one will you be? ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Yes, apocalypse. We've had that over and over. But we always survived. We're still here. And we'll still be here, even if the power and the radios don't come back on and we never see any white people again. Thoughts : Evan Whitesky returns home after a whole day of hunting to realize that his mobile phone had lost network sometime during the day. He doesn't think a lot about it then but over the next few days, his community loses electricity and their landline connection as well. To make matters worse, they are unable to contact anyone from the city to inquire when services can be restored. With the never-ending blizzard, it was not feasible for someone to simply drive to the nearest city and find out what's going on. Soon, they have to start conserving wh
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Yikes! It IS Monday! Not really my favorite day of the week, except for the prospect of checking out all the weekly round-up posts. At least, I can finally say that I'm out of my extended reading and blogging rut, due to a heavy interference by life! I haven't had a great week in reading, but I have my neck deep in three books right now.
Books completed in the last week
Don't laugh (no, really!), when you see the first book I finished this year!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid #2: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney:
I somehow cannot get enough of this series. It's so wonderful to laugh crazily at a book - laugh genuinely at innocent jokes! This is my fourth book of this series so far, leaving me just one more. I started reading this series first over my vacation. I never imagined I would be so addicted to a middle-grade book.Books on my nightstand
I have some 3-4 books from last year sitting here as well. Somehow, if I don't finish a book soon enough, I lose interest in it. Does anyone else suffer from that? But for now, these are the books I'm reading.
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by J.K. Rowling:
Not surprisingly, this is the book at the top of my pile. I'm more than halfway through and enjoying this series more with every page. After the last movie to be released this year, I wonder what more can we fans wait for? All that anticipation for the next book, the next movie is actually going to cease now, and it's not a great thought to ponder. Oh sure, JK Rowling has hinted that the series may not be over, but I'll wait to see if it's true before getting my hopes up.
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett:
This is the first book that I'm reading towards my personal reading challenges of this year. I haven't got in that far, but Ann Patchett's writing is surely eloquent and beautiful! If not for the more delicious Harry Potter book, I would be curled with this one right now.
Harlem is Nowhere by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts:
I requested this galley purely out of curiosity about Harlem. Depending on who I ask, I hear different stories of this place. It certainly has me intrigued. I have so far read just a chapter of this book, and am having mixed feelings about this one. It is a wonderful piece of history, but a bit rambling, so it's hard keeping my focus.
