What Are You Reading: January 30, 2012: 01/30/12School started on Wednesday. I did read some picture book reading with my daughter. Take those two out, and I finished two review books, an audio and four novels. I still want to finish Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby but I did manage to finish This Perfect Day by Ira Levin. This week I will probably finish Dying for Chocolate by Diane Mott Davidson, my current audio book. I would also like to finish The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong which has taken me completely by surprise. This week I might start one of those two Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle books I have out from my library. I will also be starting Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins. Time permitting, I'll also crack open Carmelo but I suspect that one will end up going back to the library unread. What about you? Did Not Finish:

Comment #1: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 03:44:01 That's a shame you didn't finish the Vikram Seth. Did you not like it? I've read one of his books and loved it. Was years ago mind you. Comment #2: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 10:49:34 Pussreboots It's 250 pages of free rhyming sonnets. I liked parts of it and I liked the over all gist of the plot but the format made it difficult to read at a comfortable pace. On Goodreads I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. I just chose to skim it instead of reading it. Comment #4: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 10:53:04 Pussreboots Thank you. Same to you. Comment #5: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 07:55:15 I've read some books by Diane Mott Davidson and Dying for Chocolate will fit right into my cozy reading. Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST. Comment #6: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 10:54:15 Pussreboots I'm enjoying the Barbara Rosenblat audio book versions of Davidson's mysteries. Comment #7: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 09:23:29 I am so envious. I don't know how you get so much read all the time but you are my hero! :) Comment #8: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 10:56:32 Pussreboots I wrote a post about how I read. You can read it here. Comment #9: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 12:33:33 How They Croaked, too funny. Have a great week!! Comment #10: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 10:58:23 Pussreboots I read How They Croaked for the CYBILS. Comment #11: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 15:11:50 I'll have to check out Dying For Chocolate!! I already have a few of her books that I haven't read yet! Comment #12: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:24:51 Pussreboots I am completely addicted to the Barbara Rosenblat audio book versions. I love to cook while listening to the books. Plus I'm getting a serious literary crush on Julian. Comment #13: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 18:09:54 I am glad to see that you enjoyed the second book in the Flavia series. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit and have been meaning to read the second. Comment #14: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:25:20 Pussreboots I really did. I plan to pick up the third book in February. Comment #15: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 19:14:34 Wow! You got a lot of reading done this week! Comment #16: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:26:31 Pussreboots I did but not nearly as much as I have done in previous weeks. Comment #17: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 20:07:36 I loved How They Croaked. It was really entertaining, and threw a lot of history in a nice package. Good on you for tackling 1Q84! Comment #18: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:27:00 Pussreboots I will post a review of How They Croaked after the CYBILS award winner is announced. I'm a judge for the middle grade / YA nonfiction so I can't really say anything beyond that I've read it. 1Q84 is long but very well written. I need to get back to it. Comment #19: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 20:32:11 Great list of books! I want to read War Horse. I heard great things about the movie. Comment #20: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:32:03 Pussreboots War Horse is nicely written but it's not my favorite. Morpurgo has grown as a writer. Comment #21: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 21:07:39 I love Incarceron. the story was amazing. :) Comment #22: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:33:10 Pussreboots I liked Incarceron even though I figured out the big mystery with about 100 pages left. Comment #23: Tuesday, January, 31, 2012 at 00:10:34 I love the Alan Bradley series! I have to pick up the second book. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Comment #24: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:34:01 Pussreboots You should. I'll be picking up the third book in February. Comment #25: Tuesday, January, 31, 2012 at 06:57:02 Wow I'm impressed that you can read and review so many books at the same time. You must take good notes! :) Comment #26: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:35:05 Pussreboots I read for pleasure and I don't review every book I read. I don't keep notes beyond the first impressions I jot down when I first finish a book. Comment #27: Tuesday, January, 31, 2012 at 07:24:37 Comment #28: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:37:12 Pussreboots I am like you. I read thick books very slowly and I can only handle one door stopper at a time. Comment #29: Tuesday, January, 31, 2012 at 09:10:55 wow, lots of books on your list. IQ84 is on my tbr list, I just need to pick it up. Happy Reading! Comment #30: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 14:38:31 Pussreboots 1Q84 is beautifully written but it's long. I'm reading it VERY SLOWLY. Comment #31: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 21:55:29 Nine books read?! Impressive! I like the variety of books you read. One of my goals this year is to read a little of everything. Just a way to mix it up a bit. Have a great reading week. Comment #32: Friday, February 01, 2012 at 21:33:15 Pussreboots My tastes are rather eclectic. I very rarely read all of one kind of thing in any given week, unless it's for research. |
