What we are reading, V.1

I love books, I think it has been mentioned before. I have decided to share what we're reading with all of you and I'd like it if you'd share with me what you have been reading.

This isn't a scheduled feature; I've discovered that so far, features and I just don't mesh well (ahem...JLOTW) so whenever I feel like sharing what is being read in our household, I'll share. Sound good?

Four of the seven are for Little Miss: Won't You Be My Hugaroo, Guess How Much I Love You, Where's Peter?, and On the Banks of Plum Creek. Won't You Be My Hugaroo  & Where's Peter? were in her Easter basket; Where's Peter? is a touch & feel book.

Guess How Much I Love You is a special book to us, it was one of the first we read to her as a bedtime story. We have a copy in the diaper bag and one the side of our bed.

On the Banks of Plum Creek is our current bedtime book, we read a chapter or two a night. It's the third book in the Little House series and it makes me pine for Minnesota. When we're home next, I want Dan to take me to see the Ingalls' homestead since I actually have not been there.

Middlesex was finished earlier this week; I had read another book by the author, The Virgin Suicides, and heard a lot about this one so I gave it a shot. I enjoyed it but felt like I was left hanging at the end.

Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 8th edition. Ugh how I loathe this book - but next week is my last week with it ... after 32 whole weeks. Ew.

Something Borrowed is by a "chick lit" author that I enjoy, Emily Giffin. It's an easy read.

Veronika Decides to Die is another book I've heard a lot about in the psychology realm so I'm also reading it. Having an eReader makes it easier to read more than one book at a time.

So what books are in your hands right now?

  3. Our book club this month is reading Sarah's Key - a duel story about a family during the holocaust and a journalist in 2002 re-creating /discovering the history. Not far enough to have an opinion but the reviews are mixed. Quite a few agree that it's a good story to be told but question the author's ability to tell it; most seem to agree that the parallel, modern story is not well written! We shall see!

  4. Mrs. Kale - I wasn't able to get into Bossypanta but I think I just wasn't in the mood. I'll have to try again. Hope you had a great birthday!

    Arielle - :)

    GM - Sounds intriguing, let me know what you think at the end of it.
