It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

In the midst of trying to get everyone ready for school to start next week, I am still getting some reading and reviewing done. It's probably all that keeps me sane throughout the process!!! Plus, there's a sense of accomplishment at chipping away at the *very* long list of books to review that I have accumulated. This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Books I completed these past several weeks are:

Don't Kill the Birthday Girl by Sandra Beasley
How to Love an American Man by Kristine Gasbarre
The Evil B. B. Chow and Other Stories by Steve Almond
The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald
Withering Tights by Louise Rennison

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:
