  • The House at Riverton.  I'm enjoying it and I hope I make good progress this weekend.  I'd really like to start Wonder for the book lottery soon before my loan ends, but THaR loan ends first so I'm in a bind.  #booknerdproblems. #35 for the year.

  • I'm reading The Golem and the Jinni.  I started it earlier this year and finally got back to it.  I like it so far and I think that I'm really about to get into the story.

    I'm listening to The Splendour Falls by Susanna Kearsley.  The narrator puts me to sleep, so I don't listen for long periods of time.  I do like the story so far though.

  • I'm reading Still Foolin' Em by Billy Crystal.  It's good, but the beginning was hilarious and the rest of the book is not that funny (which is fine, just not what I was expecting) but it's very interesting.  It's for SBC and is 20/52 for the year.

    Happy Friday, everyone!

    I'm listening to Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore.  I didn't read a single review or summary or anything about this one beforehand, just went off NBC recommendations, and I'm loving it!  I didn't know what to expect at all, and I love that it's a puzzle, and how fun it is so far.  I'm about 1/3 into it.

    What I'm reading is another story.  I finished Joyland by Stephen King last night and I completely loved it.  Again, it was such a fun little story.  The two I'm now torn between are Five Days at Memorial (I picked it up after hearing so many good things, even though I wasn't sure I wanted to get into it) or Radiance of Tomorrow, a novel by Ishmael Beah, who wrote A Long Way Gone (a memoir of his time as a child soldier in Sierra Leone).  I ended up starting Five Days at Memorial, but can't decide whether to stick with it or not.  I'm not sure I want to get into the tragedy of it all, but then again, I really enjoyed Columbine, though I don't know if that's a fair comparison.  Help?

    These will be 21 and 22 for the year.  No goals, no challenges.
  • Listening to The Fall of the Giants. Who knows when I will finish that tome. I am really enjoying it. It's just long!

    Reading The Golem and the Jinni. I am not that far in but I am in love already. I love my ILs but they can leave so I have more time to read ;-)

    FWIW I loved Five Days.  I thought it was brilliantly done and examined all aspects of the events fairly.  It is an intense read though.

  • I am still reading Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson. It has been okay so far. I am excited for next week because I am taking work trip back to the office in MT. I am still trying to narrow down which books I want to bring, which is the toughest decision.

    I think it is somewhere around 60 for the year.

  • Still slogging through 1Q84.  This mofo is LONG and draggy, not to mention repetitive.  I'm on page 774 of 925 and I cannot wait to be done.  I need to read something else.  ANYthing else.
