It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Another week of reading and bare bones reviewing. With luck the kids going back to school this week will free me up to get more accomplished. I'm not holding my breath though! This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

Books I completed this week are:

Keeping the Feast by Paula Butturini
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
False Colours by Georgette Heyer

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

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)
Daughter of the Queen of Sheba by Jackie Lyden
Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese

  2. That's a lot of reviews to write! I have to write mine shortly after I've read the book (before I pick up another).

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.
