Monday Malarkey

Well, huh, I guess this is just going to be one of those off reading years. I hope not, but it certainly has gotten off to a terrible start. Last week, I only read one book . . . again.  I don't think it was the book's fault although it didn't do much for me. There were just a couple of days I didn't feel like reading at all. On the plus side, Fiona willingly posed with the arrivals. Upper.


Recent arrivals (not in the order shown above):


  • America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie,
  • World Gone By by Dennis Lehane, and 
  • The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse - all from HarperCollins for review
  • Euphoria by Lily King - purchased for April F2F discussion
  • The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway - purchased on a whim (thanks to Carrie)


Not pictured (because it arrived about 10 minutes ago):


  • Normal Norman by Tara Lazar and S. Britt - from Sterling Children's Books for review 


Books finished last week:


  • What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan


Currently reading:


  • Absolutely nothing. I'm sure I'll start a new novel, today (since I just finished What She Knew, early this morning) but I haven't even thought about what to read next, yet. I will probably continue reading the Kate Hudson book on how she stays slim, tonight, even though what little I've read was meh.


Last week's posts:

It took a few years but this girl has totally become my lap buddy. I love it. All I have to do is put a blanket across my lap and up she comes.

    1. Thanks! I'm trying not to let it bother me. Some years you just don't read as much and I'm not sure it's a terrible thing. Maybe it just means I need to put my focus elsewhere, for a while. :)

  2. The start of this month was good for me reading wise but now it's dropped off again. Just don't feel like reading. It happens. I love Fi's angry eyes in the photo with the books.

    1. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through. I'll have a good week, then a week that I just feel like going straight to bed without reading at night, then a good reading week . . . it's not typical but I'm getting to the point that I feel like, "OK, I'm just going to go with the flow." It's only disappointing because I own so freaking many books and I'm not going to live forever!!! LOL

      Oh, does she look angry? She was surprised, I think, when I plunked the books down next to her but she just sniffed them and stayed put. She seemed pretty relaxed to me. Fiona's quite laid back.
