What Are You Reading: October 03, 2011: 10/03/11
It was a quiet week of reading for me. I have been concentrating on finishing my longer books. I have this growing collection of books stuffed between the slats of my futon and the wall. It's getting out of control. I need to finish the ones I have going! My kids and I finished Ottoline and the Yellow Cat but haven't done much reading in the way of picture books. The picture books I have listed are ones I cataloged at my internship. I read them while I wait for the remote computer to run the reports so I can print out the spine labels. My reading has been slow for a number of reasons. The first is, of course, school. I have a term paper I'm researching. I also have a lot of other smaller assignments that keep me busy. At home, now, we also have a small kitten. She entered our life unexpectedly last Friday. It was either give her a home or trust her fate to an over crowded shelter. We gave her a home and named her Tortuga. She's gone from a small, malnourished, scared ball of fluff to a slightly larger, playful and snuggly ball of fluff. I'll either start Schenectady by Don Rittner or The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat. Finished Last Week:

Comment #1: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 08:20:35 I wonder how the Mermaid's Mirror is; I really liked her Flash Burnout! Comment #2: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:29:22 Pussreboots The Mermaid's Mirror is good. The setting is a fictional area near San Francisco. I'm trying to figure out what it's near. Comment #3: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 11:35:38 carol Hope you are enjoying the Jane Austen on Audio. I have just picked up an audio to listen to for the first time. Comment #4: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:33:13 Pussreboots I'm enjoying it. It'll be my first completed Austen; I should finish it this week. I also have Pride and Prejudice on audio. Comment #5: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 14:28:04 You always have a fine selection!! Have a great week and enjoy your kitty!! Comment #6: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:36:42 Pussreboots Thank you. The kitten is keeping me busy. Comment #7: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 15:51:12 Real time wasters those little balls of fluff. I'm sure it's adorable and very happy to have a home. Hope you manage to fit some reading in as well! Comment #8: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:39:55 Pussreboots It is adorable. It's also very young and in need of lots of attention and care. I haven't finished a single book since bringing her home. Comment #9: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 17:50:01 I love Judith Viorst's picture books! You have a nice selection of books this week. Thanks for visiting my blog. Comment #10: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:45:15 Pussreboots Thank you. The Viorst book is part of the K-12 collectiong I'm cataloging. Comment #11: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 18:52:04 Congrats on your new kitty! School can really slow down reading.I can't wait to read your thoughts on Wolves of Wiloughby Chase. It's a book that's been on my tbr list forever. Happy reading and have a good week. Comment #12: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:46:25 Pussreboots The Wolves of Wiloughby Chase is good so far. I'm on page 60. Comment #13: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 20:26:18 It's been the same for me too ... September was a slow reading month ... partially because I couldn't really enjoy most of the books I picked up and also because of work ... Comment #14: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:48:02 Pussreboots I've been enjoying the books I'm reading. I'm just busy with school, the internship and the kitten. Comment #15: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 22:06:14 Mansfield Park is my favorite Austen novel. I just love Fanny Price. Are you enjoying it? Thanks for stopping by my blog :) Comment #16: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:51:20 Pussreboots I am but I'm sure I wouldn't have made it to the end in the traditional form. I'm able to concentrate better on the story by listening to it. Comment #17: Monday, October, 3, 2011 at 23:39:38 Wow you have quite a few reads going. I'm looking forward to getting The Throne of Fire, I've been waiting to read that one. I've been looking into The Replacement as well. Comment #18: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:54:33 Pussreboots The Throne of Fire is good but long and complicated. Comment #19: Tuesday, October, 4, 2011 at 01:47:34 Have a great week. You've got a lot of books going on. Hope house-training the kitten is going well. Comment #20: Monday, October 3, 2011 at 22:55:14 Pussreboots The house training is going just fine. Thanks. Comment #22: Friday, October 7, 2011 at 22:58:30 Pussreboots You're welcome. I was so busy this week I'm not sure if I had time to enjoy it or not! Comment #23: Tuesday, October, 4, 2011 at 11:12:10 Your story definitely makes me want a kitten of my own :) My grown cat would probably kill one, though. Hope you have a great reading week! Comment #24: Friday, October 7, 2011 at 23:01:11 Pussreboots My grown cat isn't pleased with the situation but she is slowly adjusting. Comment #25: Tuesday, October, 4, 2011 at 12:53:50 I love that name - Tortuga! How cute and original! Wow 9 books last week read! That's crazy! Go you! Comment #26: Friday, October 7, 2011 at 23:08:25 Pussreboots All but two of them were 32 page long picture books. Comment #27: Wednesday, October, 5, 2011 at 00:24:04 Ahh kittens are so cute! Enjoy your reading this week! Comment #28: Friday, October 7, 2011 at 23:09:02 Pussreboots Kittens are also a lot of work.
