Books read last week: How did I only finish one book this week? I thought I'd have tons of free time this weekend, but it was not meant to be...
- Split by Swati Avasthi
- Fasting, Feasting by Anita Desai (PoC, Reading from my Shelves, Awesome Author challenges)
- Fade to Blue by Bill Moody (Suspense/Mystery Challenge)
- Hush by Chayil
- Born Under a Million Shadows by Andrea B (Awesome Authors, What's in a Name, Reading from my Shelves, PoC challenges)
Books I bought: I went to Chaucer's to buy books for school, but got tempted by books for me as well

Aths of Reading on a Rainy Day and I are going to do a summer reading of this one!
Shantaram is a favorite of mine -- enjoy
ReplyDeleteReading Poisioner's Handbook by Blum. I don't read much non fiction but this is very good.
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty Must Die and Dark Goddess are up next.
I've heard great things bout Born Under a Million Shadows and Skipping a Beat. Hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading.
Diane--I am so glad to hear that about Shantaram, it's a bit intimidating!
ReplyDeleteDoret--Have a great week. I love the title "Hello Kitty Must Die"!
Misha--I love hearing good things about upcoming books, it gets me excited to read them
I have Radio Shangri-La on my list to be read. Have a wonderful week reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-29.html
ReplyDeleteI had that same type of weekend - I thought it was going to be reading utopia but no... its amazing how I can fill up my time with a project here, a meeting there.... gah!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you picked up Skipping A Beat!
I started SHANTARAM four or five years ago, and it's still on my shelf. It didn't grab me, and it's so loo-o-o-oooong! Maybe if I joined you and Aths this summer, I would have a reason to try again. May I? Or do you have something already worked out?
ReplyDeleteI need to get Split since it won the Cybils this year for YA and I have yet to read it. Going to check out your review. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJennifer--Radio Shangri-La sounds so interesting and is about a country that I don't know much about, always a plus with me
ReplyDeleteSheila--How does that happen? I could have sworn having my daughter doing shows all weekend would give me time. Instead I was driving all over the place, etc
Pussreboots--K-3 books sound pretty good to me right now!
Bonnie--I'll let you know when we've set up a reading schedule. I thought it would help to read a set amount each week and to have someone else to spur me on
Jan--Enjoy Split, it is really good. The more I think about it the higher I want to rate it
Skipping a Beat looks good...I'm reading her first book, The Opposite of Me, this week.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I'm enjoying Radio Shangri-La right now, plus yay for the Shantaram!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow. I hope all goes well! Good luck!
I've heard Skipping A Beat is good. I'd like to see what you think.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine My Bookshelf and a giveaway!
Laurel-Rain--Can't wait to see what you think of Opposite of Me, maybe I should have gotten that one first
ReplyDeleteAths--Shan-ta-ram, Shan-ta-ram...
Shirley--I am hoping it's light and fun, I've been reading some serious stuff lately
