I read three books this week, Bossypants, The Handmaid's Tale and Howl's Moving Castle.
ReplyDeleteI think my entries are always going to be a week late, because I usually do most of my reading on Saturday/Sunday and I don't end up posting about the previous week's book until Monday-Wednesday. For week 3 I will be reading Wicked.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Look forward to hearing what you think about Wicked!
DeleteRead Shadow Creek by Joy Fielding and Still Life by Louise Penny. It was a nasty week of weather in my neck of the woods and very conducive to reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI just put Still Life on my wishlist and will give Penny another try.
DeleteAwesome! I really did like it. :)
ReplyDeleteI think my weeks are off. The week starting Sunday 1/6 I read The Lady in the Mist and this week starting Sunday 1/13 I read Holes but for some reason I posted them both on this weeks linky. Oh well. I'm trying to catch up lol! I love seeing what everyone is reading and adding to my "must read" list. Thanks for doing this every year.
ReplyDeleteMy post (#29, The Lighthouse by P.D. James) is for Week #1. However I did not have time until today to write the review and update all my challenges. By the time I can write and post my reviews for week 2, this linky will have expired too (sigh).

I also read Praying Circles around your children, but it was not a very long book so wasn't sure if it counted or not. http://myseasonsofopportunities.blogspot.com/2013/01/praying-circles-around-your-children-w.html
Don't know why but my comment came out really weird and the links didn't come up properly. Sorry
ReplyDelete@susan and @amy - Don't worry about the weeks. Link to your reviews on the current post. You can have multiple links or just one link stating multiple reviews. No matter when you read your books you will always be able to link up your reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you for clarifying.
