Oh my dear friends, it is with a downcast and depressed manner than I admit to you that for the second week in a row, I have not finished a book. I cry tears of pain and remorse, dear friends, for it is very sad. Very sad indeed. This book blogger needs to finish a book!
It isn’t for lack of trying.
You remember last week? When I said I had bookmarks in like, five different books? Those bookmarks are still there, dear friends. Some have moved, but not particularly far. A couple not at all. Sad. So very sad.
My goal for the week is to finish at least 2 of these books. Nightshade should be fairly easy to finish. I think I have about 80 pages left in it. Then I shall concentrate on another. Hopefully. Concentration is sorely lacking around there lately, lemme tell ya. I am hoping this thing called life will calm down around here now! Because geez. Girl has to finish a book.
AND, as I have 3:51:00 left of Lonesome Dove, I think I can finish it this week too! Woot! For it is beyond amazing my dears. I adore this book and am so glad I’m rereading it.
So, tell me. Let me live vicariously through you. What did you read this week? What’s good? I needs to know.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading This Week? is a weekly event to list the books finished last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finish this week. It was created by J.Kaye’s Book Blog, but is now being hosted by Sheila from One Person’s Journey Through a World of Books!
I never finish anything, so don't feel bad. Hopefully you do not meet the same fate I have!
I read Cold Comfort Farm and Lady Chatterly's Lover. And let me tell you, was I ever surprised to find out that LCL can be read in one day. I was beginning to think that was an impossible thing for a classic. I heart DH Lawrence.
It's because you're reading 5 books!! Every time I get into 5 books I never finish any of them :/ I finished I Kill Giants and We Have Always Lived In The Castle and they were both amazing!! I just started By the Time You Read This I'll Be Dead by Julie Anne Peters last night and it's SO good!! I'll probably finish that tonight and then I have to get started on The Jungle for Bookclub Sandwich!!!! Sheesh….
Everyone keeps raving about the amazingness of Lonesome Dove, but the premise and setting don't interest me at all. Would I like it?
I finished "Graceling" and "The Sweet Far Thing" this week, and I'm still reading "A Bad Day for Sorry" and "Reading Lolita in Tehran". But it's a good reading week for me – whenever I have to travel for work I get lots of reading done between waiting for planes and flying and not having the lovely distractions that are my husband and cats.
