This week was not nearly as productive as I would have liked, given that I was on spring break. I blame it on switching from Direct TV to Comcast-we had to watch all of the backed up shows on our DVR before the big switch happened.
I finished Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel. Check out my review here. I also completed Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, by Jeanette Winterson. The review for that one is here.
I just, and I mean just, started The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. I love her books, so I am really looking forward to this one. After that I think I am going to make a stack of the shortest books in my TBR pile and read them-I am way behind on my goal to read 100 this year. Though if the goal starts to feel like homework, I may as well call myself done-that's not what reading for pleasure is supposed to be, after all. Ironically, I'd probably get more reading done if I wasn't blogging! My fellow bloggers are such interesting people with such good reviews I get sucked in every time!
Have a great reading week!

The Lacuna, I love it I love it. It was the first book I read this year, Ihope that you enjoy it. I will check out your review of Wolf Hall.
ReplyDeleteI need to check your review on Wolf Hall as well. I have that chunkster sitting on my book shelf but havent had the time to dig into it yet.
ReplyDeleteI adore historical fiction and Wolf Hall has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while (along with a few others, unfortunately, that I haven't had time to read). I've heard good things about it and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading week!
I know what you mean about trying not to let challenges become like homework. I'm in the middle of one that I think I'm going to give up on. I'm finding myself skipping books I'd love to read because they don't fit in the challenge, and that's not good. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've been to your blog and I have to say I absolutely love your layout! it really speaks to me!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any Kingslover novels yet but I know people rave about them!
Have a great week!
I am currently reading Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to pass on awards handed to me by Rachel from Books are a garden.
