It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

I did a little reading and reviewing this week but the biggest portion of time was spent surrounding me running a half marathon. I had to drive 8 hours there, run the thing, drive to my sister's to nap, and then drive 8 1/2 hours back. Understandably, this meant my reading week was really 4 days instead of 7. So not badly done, that being the case. This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

Books I completed this week are:

Being Polite to Hitler by Robb Forman Dew
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson
Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
The Vagabond by Colette
Cheerfulness Breaks In by Angela Thirkell
