It's Monday and I am reading about literary pirates!

Hey there, friends! How is life treating you?

This week, D finished his swim lessons and we celebrated my sister's birthday. On Sunday, we went to my childhood church, where my husband filled in as the preacher and I sang "The Prayer" with a friend for the special music.

Alright, I know, enough is enough. It's time to talk about books!

I finished Murder on the Orient Express after a month or so of listening during my commute. With my eyes, I read The Shore and am a little more than halfway through The Last Bookaneer.

 On deck for this week, I have Saint Mazie from the library and will be picking something from my shelves. I'm thinking I might pick Susan Cain's Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Won't Stop Talking.

What are you reading this week?

  1. Quiet is a good one! Very informative, and if you yourself ever feel like an introvert, it's great to read it so as not to feel alone with it!

  2. I really want to read Quiet, but I just haven't made it a priority yet. I constantly feel like I have to explain my tendencies as an introvert, so I can't wait to get some backup.

    1. I think I'm somewhere on the border between extrovert and introvert, but I hope reading this will help me understand my personality a bit better!

  3. I've had Quiet on my shelves for a ridiculous amount of time. So long, in fact, that I bought it for my Kindle too because I forgot that I already own it. DUH, Jen! ;)

    I hope you like Saint Mazie, I've heard good things!

    1. Haha, that sounds like something I would do too! I think that's why I keep my tbr books in their own spot. Hopefully (and that's a big hopefully) that will prevent me from getting multiples!

    1. I'm so glad to hear that! I figure it will be a good balance between fiction and nonfiction this week.

  5. Quiet is amazing and so life-affirming! I read The Last Bookaneer last week. I'm curious to hear what you think about it. Book pirates is such a great premise!

    1. I used to joke that it was just me being an old lady that made me prefer a few friends over or a good book to going out, but now I'm thinking maybe I'm just an introvert! I think it will be an important read for me.
