Here, I will recap my week with connections to books I am reading, have read, want to read and other random musings.
1. Where are the Reviews? When I first started this blog I thought that I would be able to crank out review after review because of all of the books that I have read. But that didn’t quite happen. I am so new to the world of blogging and excited to find this arena for books that I have been spending so much time looking at other blogs and not doing too much with my own. So I am saying it here and right now – more reviews are on the way.
2. A friend loaned my Eat, Pray, Love at least 2 and a half years ago. And I must admit, I haven’t even read the first page. Once I found out the movie was coming out, I thought I definitely was going to read the book before seeing the movie. I prefer to read the book before watching the movie whenever possible, but now that the movie is out (and may not be in the theaters much longer), I decided that I am not going to read the book at all and I’ll just watch the movie. It probably is a great book, but I just can’t give it the attention it deserves right now. I guess I should give my friend her book back.
3. I am currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I fell in live with The Hunger Games and rushed out to get the other two books of the Trilogy. While I rushed out to get them, I’ve been a little slower in actually reading it. I’ve had the book since Saturday and I am only on chapter 3. Yep, just chapter 3, I guess all of the time reading blogs is taking time from reading books too.
4. Soon to leave the shelf I am taking a small trip for the holiday weekend, so at least two books will be leaving the shelf: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, Forget You by Jennifer Echols; I’ve read three of her books this summer and just can’t get enough!
5. Random Rambling: I just finished listening to Carol Burnett’s This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection on audiobook. I love Carol Burnett and wish that her variety show was still on (at least on reruns). Just thought I’d put that out there.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday to you! I would love to read Carol Burnett's audiobook. She is so great. This summer I just finished a humorous divorce memoir by author Constance Feathers called, "Secrets of a Mysterious Older Woman," and really enjoyed it. Some readers will think it is fiction, since the truth is so unbelievably wacky. Very unique!
