This last week was crazy -- I came down with a summer cold that made me feel rotten, but not rotten enough to stay home from the piles of work that seem to have amassed in my office. Thankfully I feel much better, but the piles of work aren't going away .... however there is a LONG WEEKEND coming up so that is something to look forward to.
I did manage to finish the following books this week:
Honeymoon in Tehran by Azadeh Moaveni
The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill
The Carrion Vine by Erane Elizabeth Scully
Books in Progress:
Ulysses by James Joyce
True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey
The Tower, The Zoo and The Tortoise by Julia Stuart
After that -- ? My to-read piles are growing and growing so I can't complain about having nothing to read. The complaints come when I have to make the decision about what to read next.
What are you reading this week?
You did some great reading. It's a pity you weren't slightly more ill, so you could've stayed at home and .... read!
ReplyDeleteMy TBR is getting smaller and I really like it. Only got one new book this week, and I read two. Good going!

Summer colds are horrible but glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed Book of Negroes - I read it earlier this year and thought it was very good.
Have a great reading week.
Ugghhh....so sorry you felt ill, I hate that. Your books look great :D
ReplyDeleteI do feel much better -- thanks for the good wishes.
ReplyDeleteCat, I really enjoyed The Book of Negroes. It is an eye-opening novel.
Ulysses! Ulysses! That's probably enough to bring on a summer cold! Daunting.
