A weekly meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.
Our neighbourhood's hydro is being shut down for a few hours, so I have to get this up quickly :D Can you believe, less than 2 weeks until Xmas? I've nearly finished my shopping. Next up: baking. And I'm playing the newest Legend of Zelda game, Skyward Swod, on the Wii--incredible animation with lots of fun bits from older games. Ah, nostalgia :D
Read This Week: (1)
Bag of Bones- Stephen King--Wow, this was a change of pace for SK and I really enjoyed it! A mini-series with Pierce Brosnan aired last night on A&E (Part 2 is on tonight) but I didn't really get into it.
Currently Reading: (3)
The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History- John Ortved--Almost finished. It's interesting...most of the time. It's not for everyone and certainly not casual reading, but it was worthwhile for me.
These two are on the back burner for now:
U2 by U2- U2 (Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.)
My Life- Bill Clinton
Reviews:
I'm behind by 5 now. Writing reviews seemed like a chore but by putting them off so long, I get back in the mood to write them. I'll fire some off this week. Titles to look for:
The Count of Monte Cristo- Alexandre Dumas (A+)
The Old Man and the Sea- Ernest Hemingway (A)
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter- Carson McCullers (A)
It- Stephen King (A)
Bag of Bones- Stephen King (A+)
Next to Read:
Emma by Jane Austen. I'm in an Austen mood for the pre-holidays :)
Have a great week of reading :)
I have finished the present shopping, just the food to get now.
ReplyDeleteIt is coming around very quickly

So I realised SK is not for me, he writes in excessive but I have to be honest, something about Bag of Bones continues to intrigue me.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of A and A+ books read lately - that's great! Stephen King has great range - he has branched WAY out from his original focus on horror. I don't think I read Bag of Bones. My husband is currently reading 11/22/63 - I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteEmma is STILL on my bookshelf, waiting for me to read my first Austen...maybe in 2012!
Enjoy your books this week -
Sue
You have some interesting reading going on! Enjoy them all!
