Thanksgiving and our annual After Thanksgiving Party really cut into my reading and any reviewing I thought I was going to do this week. To be honest, the majority of my reading this week was of recipes, not books. But aside from Christmas shopping, my life should be back to my usual reading saturation again now. And I wouldn't have it any other way! This meme is hosted by Kathryn at Reading Date. Books I completed this past week are:
The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs by Matthew Dicks
The Black Velvet Coat by Jill G. Hall
Pretending to Dance by Diane Chamberlain
Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

It looks like you need to have a review-a-thon. Good luck with this week's reading and reviewing. Here is my Monday Report. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Pretending to Dance, hope you did too. And good luck again with those reviews!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized, getting Christmas shopping done. I looked back on your velvet coat book and I got hooked, especially since the present takes place in SF, my hometown.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get to Lahiri's The Lowland someday. I've liked her other books. What do you think of this one -- good ? or pass?
