It's Monday. What are you reading?

Hi again! It's been one of those weeks with lots of running around (the usual chaos when you have two kids and a few jobs to juggle). We did enjoy a very leisurely Sunday afternoon, which felt very needed. Sundays are at least partly work days for the husband and me, so it was nice to get in a nap this afternoon and just spend time reading, watching some tv, and planning for the upcoming week.

This week, I finished Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith. Then I read The Bedlam Stacks, which comes out this August, and sped through All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg.

 

Next up? I will be trying to fill the Phryne Fisher sized hole in my heart by reading the books, specifically Murder in the Darksince I finished watching the tv series. I'm also looking forward to starting Lab Girl as my next audiobook.


What are you reading right now?

  1. I was surprised to find that I really loved Lab Girl. I'm not one for science, but it's a great story.

    1. It's so well-done. I'm only a few chapters in but I already want to recommend it to a bunch of people!

  2. I have All Grown Up...and now I want to read it sooner rather than later.

    Lab Girl looks tempting. Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

    1. All Grown Up is nice and short, so you can zip through it in a weekend!

  4. I have a feeling that my next three weeks will consist of way more running around (and way too little reading). Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  6. Did you know that they're working a Phryne Fisher film? I don't know if it will get shown in the States, but I hope so. If you like those period piece mystery shows: two others I like are Murdoch Mysteries (Canadian, 1900s) and the Doctor Blake Mysteries (Victoria, Australia, 1950s)

    My husband is home. My daughter had two pieces in her school's art show. And we got new cement poured at the bottom of our stoop. Come see what I'm reading.

  7. Oh! So glad you are reading Lab Girl! It was SOOO good. One of the highest ratings my book group has ever given a book - and no rating below a 7 (which is rare for us all to be in agreement!)

    Enjoy it and your other books, too -

    1. It is very good! It's one of those books where the hype seems strange until you read it...then it all makes sense!
