Happy Columbus Day!
I had another week of being sick most days (my chronic illness has been badly flared up lately), so lots of good reading but not much writing time again!
Last week:
- I finished After You, a novel by Julie Buxbaum. It was a well-written tale of how a woman copes with the aftermath of her best friend's murder, including taking care of her friend's daughter. I really liked this novel - review to come later this week.
- I read a wonderful middle-grade/teen mystery, The Mystery of the Third Lucretia, by Susan Runholt, about two young girls who get wrapped up in the midst of an international art crime. I'll post a full review at Great Books for Kids and Teens this week.
Now, comes my favorite part - time to choose a new book to read. I'm not sure what it will be - there are so many great books to choose from!
What are YOU reading this week?
(What Are You Reading Mondays was started by J. Kaye's Book Blog)
I am sorry last week was a rough eek for you. I hope you are feeling better this week. I had a great week last week, and hopefully this one will be half as good: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-are-you-reading-monday_12.html
ReplyDeleteThe Runholt book sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better, Sue.
Thats my favorite part of the week too - choosing what tor ead next :)
ReplyDeleteUgh! So sorry you haven't been feeling well. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a very popular book at our library right now. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Hunger Games/Catching Fire books are great for adults as well as teens -- I've really enjoyed both of them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better this week! Dealing with chronic illness is no fun -- as I know all too well -- sigh.
Hi Sue...I thought After You was pretty good as well. I'm reading: Cutting for Stone right now (audio and print version as it's over 500 pages) very good.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
I've just started The Zoo Keepers Wife by Diane Ackerman. It looks like it's going to be a great read!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to read The Zoo Keeper's Wife! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
