Had a better reading weekend with cold, rainy weather both days. I have a favourite black sweater that I threw on and curled up with Under the Dome for several hours. Managed to get an additional 45% read! It's a hulking mass of a book :oD
Currently Reading
Under the Dome- Stephen King- up to page 764--I am bound & determined to finish it this week! It is an addictive book, taking up all my reading time.
Pride & Prejudice- Jane Austen- up to page 59. I'll be through with this one next. I'm waiting for the shoe to drop--is the book all party-planning & matchmaking? It's romantic & fluffy, granted, but I think the most interesting characters are getting less attention.
My Life- Bill Clinton- up to page 244. I'll probably pick at this now & again until I get in the mood for nonfiction. I read memoirs over the spring-summer & I was itching for good fiction (still am)!
Next Up
Freedom- Jonathan Franzen- I'm going to try this out, and not because Oprah says so :oD I was interested in it before she chose it (it was likely a toss-up between this and Room).
Her Fearful Symmetry- Audrey Niffenegger- I really want to read this next but Freedom is beckoning first. If it gets old hat, I'll flip to this one.
Hoo boy...it sounds like I'm getting into the multi-book reading phase :oD
What did you finish this past week? What are you reading now? And, if you've been here before, any thoughts on the new blog design?
I love the new look. Very pretty. I've heard very good things about My Fearful Symmetry. I look forward to hearing what you think of it. I hope you enjoy all of your reading this week!
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice is my favorite book of all time! I hope you like it! Her Fearful Symmetry is on my list too!
ReplyDeleteI adore Pride and Prejudice. I don't know why I like it so much, but there is something about it that just keeps me coming back. Under The Dome is on my wishlist but I think I have to be in the right frame of mind to tackle that one.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!
I started Under The Dome this week but then The Passage came available (after months of waiting) at the library. I couldn't handle two big books at once so I stopped Under The Dome. I think when I go back to it I may get it on the iPad. It got heavy o hold in hardcover!
ReplyDeleteI honestly haven't picked up Under the Dome in over a month! I'm glad you are getting through it. Can't wait for your review! Maybe it will motivate me to dust it off and keep trying!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks for all your comments :o)
ReplyDeleteJulie~ Glad you like the new layout. I think it looks less cluttered, but that could be me getting my act together & organizing things :oD
Lisa & Stephanie~ P&P is sweet as cotton candy!
Heather & Tara~ Almost there...! I haven't lugged my trade paperback copy out of the house for fear of breaking my back, LOL :oD
