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...
- Born Under a Million Shadows by Andrea Busfield
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
- The Violin of Auschwitz by Maria Angels Anglada
- The Secret Life of Henrietta lacks by Rebecca Skloot (on my Kindle since I'll be on vacation)
- I Saw Ramallah by Mourid Barghouti
- Fade to Blue by Bill Moody (Suspense/Mystery Challenge)--on my computer so I am having issues getting around to reading it
- A Thousand Sisters by Lisa Shannon
Give Away: International, closes at 5:00pm (Pacific Time) on Saturday, April 9, 2011
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
I haven't seen these around a lot! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine
Definitely going to check out The Violin of Auschwitz. Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteBrooke--I have been waiting quite a while to read the Henrietta Lacks book, I hope it's good
ReplyDeleteNise--Oh good! It really is a wonderful little book
Of course! You always have the good books over here. LOL! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThe Violin... sounds very good but such a touch read. I wasn't able to read the boy in pajamas, so important but too emotional for me.
ReplyDeleteI read A Thousand Sisters earlier this year, haven't reviewed it though. Another tough book but with an important message. As this runner loves running stories. I hope you enjoy it!
Have a great week
OOH I want to see what you thought of Born Under A Million Stars!
ReplyDeleteShadows... I meant shadows :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you had a wonderful week with another lined up. Happy reading and have a great week. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-32.html
ReplyDeleteJust finished reading your review of the Violin of Auschwitz and enjoyed it very much. Fade to Blue sounds interesting espeically since I love mysteries. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI read A Thousand Sisters last year...still haunted with the images and issues of the Congo...
ReplyDeleteHi Helen - Stopping by since it is Monday. Your reading list looks great! I just started A Modern Witch by Debora Geary "witch" is available on Kindle :)
ReplyDeleteCome over and see my book blog stuff!

The Henrietta Lacks book is on my list of books I want to read.
ReplyDeleteWow, while I was flying across the country, you guys were commenting...
ReplyDeleteNotorious--Thank you for the vote of confidence! I just hope I find time during our trip to actually read since we'll be so busy
Mari--I have read a lot of Holocaust literature and Violin was less detailed than many. Glad to hear you liked A Thousand Sisters
Sheila--Loved Million Shadows!
Jennifer--I did have a good week, thank you for stopping by
Pussreboots--Ah, balance during spring break. I am a bit worried I won't read much since my daughter and I are on a trip
Jan--Fade to Blue is on my computer so it is taking me a while to find time to read it unfortunately
Melissa--Yes, the Congo is so devastating. I'll have to gear up for reading Thousand Sisters
Lauri--I haven't heard of a Modern Witch, I'll go see what it's all about
Joy--I've got my Kindle ready to go! Now I just need to find the time to turn it on and read it!
I've been very hesitant to read Henrietta Lacks, in spite of hearing how awesome it is. Maybe that's the problem - all that hype. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAths--So far Henrietta is interesting, but I am just not getting enough reading done during this spring break...
