As I get ready to start my summer travels, first to my daughter's dance competition and then to our family cottage, I have been reading and reviewing quite a bit. I know that I won't be caught up on my backlog before I leave (and reading books faster certainly doesn't lighten the load of books I'll take with me both places because I'll just add new options into the pile instead, of course) but it will mean I have fewer books to bring in order to review them and that's a good thing all the way around! This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Books I completed this past week are:
David by Ray Robertson
The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell
Sinners and the Sea by Rebecca Kanner
The Execution of Noa P. Singleton by Elizabeth L. Silver
Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

ReplyDeleteof course, together tea, caught my eye =)
ReplyDeleteHapPy reading and bringng down that review stack !
Lots of great reading, wow, sometimes the reading is more beneficial than the reviewing, more personal benefit anyway :-)
ReplyDeleteNice assortment of books. I am curious as to what you thought of The Execution of Noa P. Singleton. I have been wanting to read that and it's on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading The Book of Someday. Just received a copy this week. Here’s my POST. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteOh wow and I thought my pile of five books needing reviews written was going to be a slog! So many books on your list/s that I'm curious about, and a few I definitely want to read - especially Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteI have been popping by a few blogs and being from the UK I don't recognise any of the authors I am seeing - need to investigate.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see your thoughts on Together Tea.
ReplyDeleteGreat books coming up for you!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you think about The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell

ReplyDeleteWhat a great week of reading for you.
ReplyDeletePLEASE write me about your thoughts on THE OTHER TYPIST. I loved the book, but it is driving me crazy. :) I see you have a review upcoming, I will be looking forward to your review.
ENJOY your week!!
