What I'm Reading in April

I just finished Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. This is her most recent novel. I had wanted to read it as soon as it came out, so I put a "hold" on it at the library months ago. I am currently reading The Ten-Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer, which I received from a publicist for review. I'm hoping to finish it within the next few days so I can get a review posted on my blog. The pick for my main book club for April is I, Coriander by Sally Gardner. The pic… Continue

What I Read in January

For my main IRL book club, I read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. For my church women's group book club, I listened to The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls on CD.

I also read Team Moon by Catherine Thimmesh (a children's book about Apollo 11), The Rhyming SeasonContinue

What I Plan to Read in November

There are about seven weeks left in the Fall into Reading Challenge. My original list required an approximately two-books-a-week pace. In the six weeks already gone by, I've read about ten books - but even that many was thanks in large part to the read-a-thon. While I hope to spend some time reading during the Thanksgiving Break, I won't have the ability (or the desire) to read for twenty-four hours. I'd still like to get through twenty-five or twenty-six books by December 20 though - but that'l… Continue

What I'm Currently Reading

Right now I'm working on Mermaids in the Basement, which is a Salt Lake County Reader's Choice pick. It's a quick read, and I'm having fun with it. I'm also reading Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far by Amy Grant. I'm not familiar with a lot of her work - except for the Christmas CD we listen to during the holidays. But I'm enjoying reading her essays - although the writing is somewhat uneven - interspersed with song lyrics. The pick for my IRL book club this month is The SimpleContinue
