I was suffering through a bad cold last week, unfortunately not bad enough to keep me home from work but enough to keep me home from one of my book group meetings :-(. I did catch up on some reading though, because that's all I seemed to have the energy for.
Books finished last week: Crime and Punishment, for my Classics book group
Small Island by Andrea Levy (a re-read, and a wonderful wonderful book)
Between Here and April by Deborah Copaken Kogan, for my book group discussion next week
Books to read this week: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Murder on the Orient Express, both by Agatha Christie, for an upcoming Classics Circuit post
Beatrice and Virgil, by Yann Martel - I'm very excited to read this; I've seen opinions on both sides of the spectrum about this book.
This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All by Marilyn Johnson - a celebration of librarians.
And I should have time to get to at least one or two more on the to-read pile.....
What are you reading this week?
Tinkers was such a surprise Pulitzer winner this year! I'm intrigued, but it doesn't seem to be getting very good reviews. I'm in line for a copy at the library, but won't be getting my hands on it until October! Enjoy your reading.
ReplyDeleteI love Agatha Christie and went through a phase where I read all of her books. I hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI loved This Book is Overdue. Hope you enjoy it. Have a great week of reading :)
ReplyDeleteLynne's Book Reviews
jlshall -- I was lucky that I got Tinkers from the library just days after it won the Pulitzer and before anyone else could out a hold on it (the ability to place holds online is both a blessing and a curse!) That must be rough to have to wait until October, though.
ReplyDeleteStephanie - I went through an Agatha Christie phase in my younger days as well. I don't think I read all of her books, but I think I've read most of the Hercule Poirot novels. I'm enjoying the re-read much more because I know "whodunit" and can pick up on the clues!
Lynne -- This Book is Overdue is wonderful and has me contemplating a career change :-)
i have been wanting to rwad small island for ages and beatrice and virgil looks good as well!
ReplyDeleteAgatha Christie books are still unread by me.... I don't know why, just haven't got to them.. I would love to read one! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the librarian book. I like libraries and librarians!
