Yet another week has gone by with no end in sight for the pandemic. Being able to distinguish weeks became a challenge months ago, so no surprises there. But the weather is getting colder and winter is coming (hopefully not Martin's winter - we had enough of that this year already). I used to love winter, I used to look forward to it. But for the past few years, it has tended to be a very gloomy season. I'm usually just looking forward to it ending. So, this year, it's going to be harder to get through the season, especially since we are all still mostly at home. Mind you, I don't mind the restrictions as they do have a useful purpose, but wish more people followed them well and that we had done a better job when the weather was warmer to keep the virus at bay so that it didn't have to last this long. But that argument probably won't stick anyways, as many countries are now facing second waves. At the end of the day, we really need a vaccine but I hope that isn…
Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books wants to know what we're reading. I'm only too happy to oblige!
Although April was a hectic month for me, I had a lot of reading done this month. I hope May turns out to be the same for me, but I'm certainly counting on more downtime as well.
Books completed in the last week
The Coffins of Little Hope by Timothy Schaffert: This book has been receiving a lot of buzz lately, but for some reason it didn't work well for me. In Zanesville by Jo Ann Beard: I enjoyed this book a lot! I can't wait to review this - hopefully this week itself! Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten: After all the heavy reading, I wanted some light reading and so I picked this one. This was a cute book but it didn't work too well for me.
News from over my blog
Reviews up!
I barely got to any of the books on my pile last week, so my reading for this week has the same set of books.
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón: Since I already have two review books lined for this week, I figured one non-review book might be nice to ease some pressure that I was talking of yesterday. This book has been on my shelf for ages, so I'm glad to be eventually getting to it!
The Lost Girls by Amanda Pressner, Jennifer Baggett, and Holly Corbett: I just started this one yesterday and it's wonderful reading so far. It reads like an adventure by three girls with whom I could relate so well.
Kamchatka by Marcelo Figueras: I haven't yet started this one, so I'm hoping to do so sometime this week. It sounds fascinating - set in Buenos Aires, from the perspective of a 10-year old, whose family is going into hiding.
