ReplyDelete:)
Everyone raves about Cutting for Stone (especially the ladies in my book club). Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteYou had a good week. I like reading a book where you read an entry a day. October is always for A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny for me. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThat's a LOT of books to be reviewed!
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week ahead! Here is my Mondays: Mailbox/Where Am I/Musings post.
I keep a physical reading diary and that has not been kept up to date since I started an online blog. I review a book on paper, then write it up in my reading diary but recently have been jumping straight from paper to cyberspace!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of loose papers in my reading diary now :)
enjoy ur week

ReplyDeleteI want to read Bite Me. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI need to get through my library books before the textbooks arrive. Here's what I'm reading this week.
Wow! You have quite a pile waiting for you! Hopefully you still have time to run as well. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSorry you've had such a rough week, sending a hug your way :-)
