It's Monday 9/27! What Are You Reading?

Monday already?  I had another long sick week spent mostly in bed - the virus I caught developed into bronchitis, and all of it triggered a severe flare-up of my chronic illness.  I'm finally starting to feel a little better and am slowing getting back to a more normal life.  This week was bad for the rest of my life but good for reading!

• I finished The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx and will hopefully feel well enough to go to my book group's discussion of it on Wednesday.  I enjoyed this quirky, award-winning novel.
• Next I read a new teen novel, The Limit by Kristen Landon, set in the future when families who get into debt must send their oldest children to workhouses.  It was good - a fast-paced suspense novel.
• Now I'm in the middle of A Soft Place to Land by Susan Rebecca White, a grown-up novel about two sisters who lose their parents when they're in their teens.  It's very good so far - a good distraction during a sick week.
• My husband is reading The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff, which I finished last week.  Only problem is that he's in the middle of it and it's due back at the library, so I'm trying to find him another copy!
• Jamie, 16, is still working on The Stand by Stephen King and loving it! 
• Jamie is also reading Into the Wild by Jon Krakuaer for his American Literature class.  I haven't read the book yet, but it was one of my favorite movies.
• Craig, 12, is reading Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi for his English class.  He's enjoying it but is frustrated because the teacher doesn't want them reading ahead!

I did manage to write one review last week, of the middle-grade time-travel novel George Washington's Socks by Elvira Woodruff.

What are you and your family reading this week?
