It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

I'm still not getting much reading done but maybe the fact that the computer is broken again will help restore a little balance in my reading life. That, plus spring break coming up, might help me make a reasonable dent in the mushrooming stack of books in progress. This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

Books I completed this week are:

One Vacant Chair by Joe Coomer
Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog by Lisa Scottoline
Magnolia Wednesdays by Wendy Wax

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
Great Lakes Nature by Mary Blocksma (this is going to take me all year as I read her year's entries on the corresponding days of this year)
Into the Tangle of Friendship by Beth Kephart
Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show by Frank Delaney
Solar by Ian McEwan
Sweater Quest by Adrienne Martini
A Rather Lovely Inheritance by C. A. Belmond
If You Follow Me by Malena Watrous

Reviews posted this week:

Not Quite Paradise by Adele Barker
Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Books still needing to have reviews written (as opposed to the ones that are simply awaiting posting):
Seeing Stars by Diane Hammond
One Vacant Chair by Joe Coomer
Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog by Lisa Scottoline
Magnolia Wednesdays by Wendy Wax

  1. Magnolia Wednesdays sounds really good! I love the title of the Scottoline book. And I admire your patience for reading one entry per day from Great Lakes Nature! I have a book of Emily Dickinson's poems that I always mean to read one or two of before bed, but I just can't read like that. It's all or nothing! Enjoy your books this week!

    Have a great week :)

  4. you're so funny. So for you three books read is a bad week? That'd be an awesome week for me! Although it does look like you have an awful lot of books that are partials. I'd think that would be the place to start if you want to have a week when you've finished a whole bunch.

  6. I enjoy Scottoline's novels so I will need to give that one a go. You have had an extremely busy week and another impressive line-up for this week. Happy reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-29.html

  7. I don't think I could keep all the stories straight if I read that many books at once! Hopefully your broken computer will be a blessing in disguise!

  8. LOL!!! Love it: "Bookmarks are still living in the middle of"

    I can't tell you how many bookmarks have been eaten up by my unloved books.

    Happy Reading!

I have had to disable the anonymous comment option to cut down on the spam and I apologize to those of you for whom this makes commenting a chore. I hope you'll still opt to leave me your thoughts. I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
