What Are You Reading: January 23, 2012: 01/22/12

What Are You Reading?

School begins for me on Wednesday. Much of my reading time will go to school work and exercise. I don't know how many books I'll have finished by next Monday but I expect it will be half of what I've finished this week.

My goal this week is to finish Incarceron by Catherine Fisher. It's an interesting book but I think I've already figured out some of the twists and turns. I also want to finish Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby. This Perfect Day by Ira Levin continues to go slowly. It's a very dense book, even though it's short. It would be nice to finish it this week but I suspect I will end up needing a week or two longer.

Afterwards, I'll start one of my many library books sitting on my shelf. I have two Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle volumes, as well as a couple other graphic novels. I'll also pick something from my TBR as I finish the current personal collection books I'm reading.

What about you?

Finished:

  1. 0.4 by Mike A. Lancaster (library book)
  2. Catering to Nobody (audio) by Diane Mott Davidson (library book)

I've heard good things about Wonderstruck. Hope you have a great week, and thanks for visiting my blog.



Comment #2: Monday, January 23, 2012 at 22:39:38

Pussreboots

You should read Wonderstruck. It's another story built around the silent film era, but this time in the United States and at the advent of sound. I really don't want to say more as I might give away spoilers.

I remember loving the Llama books when my daughter was young!



Comment #4: Monday, January 23, 2012 at 22:46:38

Pussreboots

I think this is the first Llama book I've read with my daughter.

It was a last minute cram session of reading for fun before school starts up again.

I've been listening to audios while I do chores. I also read a few books with my daughter. Both are padding the list a little.

I don't know how you juggle so many books at once, but I hope you're enjoying them.

I really enjoyed the first Flavia de Luce book. I'm sure I'll get to The Weed That Strings sooner rather than later. Enjoy your week!



Comment #24: Monday, January 23, 2012 at 23:05:20

Pussreboots

The second Flavia book is a little slow to start but it still has the same quirky characters. I'm enjoying it.

You have a great week going! I hope you're enjoying 1Q84!
