Book meme: Day 30!
Oh my gosh! Last prompt! The book meme went so fast... Ah, book meme, we hardly knew ye.
What I'll probably do next week is open up a post for more prompts -- about books, about publishing, about whatever. So think about what you want me to write about and/or discussions you want me to host!
For now...
Day 30 - What book are you reading right now?
In the upstairs bathroom, where I go only to take a shower or bath, is 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs
-- I'm about halfway through, I guess, but I only read a few pages every couple of days, and I don't feel any desire to read more than that;
downstairs is The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 1: 1889-1910
-- she reminds me of no one so much as my darling
sarahtales;
in the living room is Faithful Place by Tana French
-- almost finished!;
by my bed is Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight by Linda Bacon
and Black Hills by Nora Roberts
-- both of these I am almost finished with, so.
(I have about 25 pages left in Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick
, but since I've had 25 pages left since April, and the idea of picking that book back up again makes me cringe because it is so so so boring, probably I will never finish it.)
I've set all of these aside today, though, because I want to finish Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy
-- and tomorrow, once my mom is finished with her copy, I'll be reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
!!
