This is the longest list I've seen around!! Good luck :P
ReplyDeletemy what are you reading?
Are you really going to write all those reviews?
ReplyDeleteWow that is one long list of reviews needing written. I would be so intimidated. Good luck with getting them written.
ReplyDeleteI am going to check out your review from this past week. It sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI've stopped accepting review books for a while to get my list down, but now I have one pile of reviews written but not posted, one pile of books read but with reviews not written, and I still have that review pile! Sigh .. but at least there's some space near the top of the read and review pile now as opposed to "oh, my goodness, how am I going to fit in these new review books?". Another month and a half to go on my self-imposed ban, so I'm hoping to see a big difference. I've been just writing a review a day and posting a review every other day in my efforts to get caught up!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read Ogawa's book. I hope you enjoyed it! Good luck with your review writing!
ReplyDeleteThis is an impressive list. Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens looks especially good - I have not had an opportunity to read that one. My recent find is by author Sondra Wright who wrote, 40+ and Fabulous: Moving Forward Fierce, Focused, and Full of Life! The book is a collection of women in midlife along with a male perspective as well. What I loved about this one are the revealing, accurate images of what a woman’s experiences at midlife really are. I highly recommend this to women of all ages.
