(sponsored by J. Kaye's Book Blog)I had a very enjoyable reading week.
- I finished Benny & Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti, a Swedish love story, and enjoyed it very much. I'll post a review of it this week.
- I read Julie & Julia by Julie Powell in honor of its movie release last week. It was an intriguing memoir made even more fascinating by the fact that Julie started a blog a few years ago - much like all of us here! - and is now a best-selling author.
- I started The City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau, a middle-grade novel. We watched the movie with the kids over the weekend which inspired me to finally read the book - my older son, Jamie, had told me it was very good (along with its sequel). He was right!
What are YOU reading this week?
I've been seeing so many great things about Benny & Shrimp! Did you like it too?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any of US will be a best-selling author in a few years!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Sue : )
J. Kaye -
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy Benny & Shrimp - more than I expected to actually - review to be posted as soon as I get a chance - probably today!

ReplyDeleteI hope so!
That part of the story was really amazing to me - Julie made no effort to draw an audience to her blog other than telling friends and family about it - it just took on a life of its own and all of a sudden, magazines and tv stations were calling her!
