Busy, busy, busy holiday week! No time for blogging. I probably shouldn't even by typing this, but I couldn't stand to miss a Monday post! So, just a quick one, then back to wrapping gifts and cooking.
- I finished reading Time and Again by Jack Finney, the last of my Christmas gift books from LAST Christmas! I loved this novel about traveling back in time to 1882 NYC so much that it's characters are still with me days after I finished it - that's the sign of a great book!
- Now I am FINALLY reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, one of the year's top YA (and adult) novels that I have been wanting to read for many months - fitting it in just before the end of the year!
- My husband, Ken, finished Defending Jacob by William Landay last week and loved it! He said he can't tell me much about it without giving away surprises - I can't wait to read it!
- Ken has now started The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness - both he and I have been wanting to read this trilogy for a long time - our son says it is great!
- Jamie, 18, is still re-reading City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, book 4 in the Mortal Instruments series. He's been busy playing with his brother and cousins so hasn't had much reading time since coming home.
- I am still listening to Wildwood by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis, a middle-grade audio book, though I don't have much time to listen with a house full of people!
(What are you reading Monday is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, with a kid/teen version hosted by Teach Mentor Texts.)
Feel you on the time crunch. Darn relatives and their demands! I'm glad to hear someone reading Time and Again-- wonderful time travel book. Makes it seem really possible. Hope you get some good books this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI soooo want to read The Fault in Our Stars. Will have to make time for it in 2013.
