Hello, fellow readers and bloggers! Hope you've got a good book that you are lost in currently. Life This was a much needed slower week after weeks of the other kind. Work was busy until Wednesday and then it got quieter, so that helped me have the mental energy to do other things. The girl's birthday is in 10 days (yes, both my daughter and I share the same birthday month) and we are planning a small party during the following weekend. Guess what theme she wants? Yes, princesses. I wish little girls aspired for more than most of the pink stuff that's paraded at them in the stores. Anyways, I'll be doing some planning for this and trying to pull it together. There's been another big thing going on for the past couple of months. We've been meeting with a contractor to renovate our kitchen and do hardwood throughout the main floor. It's going to be somewhat massive of an undertaking but we are excited for the end result. We still have several finishes to dec
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.
