What Are You Reading: January 09, 2012: 01/09/12This post represents two weeks of reading instead of one.
I had a nice trip with my family but we all came home with some sort of stomach bug. Being ill has put me in a bid of a blue mood, so I'm trying to read more light-hearted things right now. Red Glove I mentioned last time as being on hold. That's no longer the case. I'm back to reading it. I have found another copy at the library and am now about half way through the book. I still want to start Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby. I know, I've been saying that for weeks. I decided to start Wonderstruck first. Also on my to read soon pile is Queen of the the Dead, plus a bunch of library books I put on hold before the holidays. I would also like to finish This Perfect Day by Ira Levin. Unfortunately I misplaced it over the holidays! Along with my usual mixture of reading, I have the CYBILS nonfiction middle grade / YA finalists to read. I can't tell you about the books until the winner is announced on Valentine's day. So stay tuned. Finished:

Comment #1: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 02:13:21 Wow, you sure got through a lot in two weeks! The Castle books are fun tie ins to the tv series- a nice way to get the Castle fix when there aren't new episodes to watch. Comment #2: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:40:21 Pussreboots The Castle books are certainly fun. I've read all of them except for the graphic novel. I'm planning on reading the graphic novel too. Comment #4: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:43:23 Pussreboots Thank you. Happy reading. Comment #5: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 03:54:12 Looks like you've been busy! I hope everyone is feeling better! Comment #6: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:45:35 Pussreboots We're all better. Thanks for asking! Comment #7: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 04:21:37 Some great choices there! Here are all my Monday book posts: Comment #8: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:47:42 Pussreboots Thank you. Comment #9: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 08:06:48 Wow! Even if this is for two weeks, it's a pretty impressive list! Here is my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? I hope you will stop by! Comment #10: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:48:08 Pussreboots Thanks. Many of the books were ones I've been working on for about a month. Comment #11: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:24:29 I've never read a Richard Castle book, but I LOVE the show. People really like the books, I have got to try 'em! :) Have a great reading week! Comment #12: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:49:32 Pussreboots I'll be honest, the show is better than the books. But the books are still fun. Comment #13: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 10:28:13 I have enjoyed some Marilynne Robinson books...Home was wonderful! Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST and MY WEBSITE Comment #14: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:50:02 Pussreboots I read Housekeeping when it first came out. This year I'd like to read her other books. Comment #15: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 10:33:01 Even though it's two weeks, you sure managed to read A LOT. I heard a lot of good things about Magyk and hope you enjoy it as well. It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Comment #16: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:53:03 Pussreboots Magyk is really good so far. I need to get back to reading it. Comment #17: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 11:11:59 We had a bug around the holidays too, glad you are feeling better. Wonderful reading happening here. Hope you find the misplaced book soon. Comment #18: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 09:55:11 Pussreboots I'm fairly certain that it's in my living room. It will probably show up when I straighten up the room this afternoon. Comment #19: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:36:01 Wow, great books! Some of them I've read & loved & some are on my tbr list! I hope you'll all get better soon!!! Happy reading! Oh, and Happy New Year, too! Comment #20: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:29:33 Pussreboots Seems like we have similar reading plans. We're all better, just a little tired. Happy reading. Comment #21: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:48:55 I hope you'll find your book back! I 'lost' my library card over the weekend and I felt lost! Luckily it showed up again today. Phew! Happy reading! Comment #22: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:33:34 Pussreboots I'd be frantic if I lost my library card. I'll find the book as soon as I do a proper straightening of the living room. Comment #23: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 14:24:26 What an ambitious reading plan! What did you think of the Benedict Arnold book? Comment #24: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:35:42 Pussreboots It's not really a plan. More like guidelines. The only ones I have to finish are the CYBILS books. Sadly I can't tell you what I think of the Benedict Arnold book until after the winner is announced. I'm a finalist judge and sworn to secrecy. Comment #25: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 16:02:21 Is it bad that out of your long list of books I have only heard of The Hunger Games? Comment #26: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 13:40:00 Pussreboots Not at all! It just means we have different reading tastes. Comment #27: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 20:17:24 I love the title If You Give a Dog a Donut! I had no idea more books had been added to the series. I love The Snowy Day! You had a great two weeks worth of reading! Comment #28: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:21:21 Pussreboots I didn't know about If You Give a Dog a Donut either until my daughter told me. She requested it for Christmas. Comment #29: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 20:23:32 I absolutely loved Red Glove, so I hope you're enjoying it as well! Comment #30: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:22:23 Pussreboots I am enjoying Red Glove. I'm glad I got it back from the library. Comment #31: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:03:24 Hope you are all feeling better by now. You have an impressive reading list. Comment #32: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:23:25 Pussreboots We are; thanks for asking. Comment #33: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:21:41 Well, you've certainly done much more with your two weeks than I did. LOL congrats! Comment #34: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:24:12 Pussreboots Mostly I finished books I'd been reading for a month or more. Comment #35: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:52:25 What a great list! I have to get back to the Diane Mott Davidson books. Also, the Richard Castle series. Hope you have a great week. Comment #36: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 21:25:15 Pussreboots I want to get back to listening to Catering to Nobody. I sort of abandoned it over the holidays. I just finished Heat Rises tonight. Comment #37: Monday, January 09, 2012 at 23:16:07 I have The Hunger Games on my tbr list. Hope you have a wonderful week of reading!

Lots of reading and reviews. I am a week behind visiting. Maybe I'll be earlier for tomorrow's post. :-) Comment #52: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:28:02 Pussreboots I'm on vacation and I'm listening to audios while I do my chores.
