I feel a lot better about all the reviews that I haven't written.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine
I have to go and read your review for The Love Goddess' Cooking School. I think that one looks good! :)
ReplyDeleteI am reading Trophy Bride
ReplyDeleteAmazing list of books to be reviewed! I'm very impressed. I'm currently finishing an interesting memoir called "Borneo Tom" by author Tom McLaughlin. It’s an engaging and interesting read about one man’s adventures in Asia. It also includes some special illustrations that make you laugh and give you more insight into what you’re reading. A real page turner!
ReplyDeleteMy to be review list grew. I don't know when I'll ever get it under control.
ReplyDeleteNot listed in my post are the ton and a half of peer reviewed journal articles I read. It was otherwise a good mixture of books this week. Here's what I'm reading this week.
What a lovely mailbox today: EIGHT new books! It's Christmas early here :) I looked at that Love Godddess Cooking School but haven't read your review yet. I had my interest piqued (spelling?) having been to cooking school but there was something holding me back...
ReplyDeleteBut now to decide whether to delve in to the world of Burracombe or to go offworld into a new Anne McCaffrey...
