What I’m Reading Monday #6

Published on by Rachelle

Currently Reading: The Time Roads by Beth Bernobich, one of my review books, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, for the read-along, and Bliss by Kathryn Littlewood, chosen for reading on my phone when I’m out and about.

Put Aside:  Villette by Charlotte Bronte and The Hobbit and Philosophy.  I will be finishing these books, but not until I finish the remaining review books I have to get done this week.

Finished: Of Bone and Thunder by Chris Evans.  This was also for review, and I will be posting the review a few days before it’s published (Oct. 14th).  Until then, all I’ll say is that I’m giving it 5 stars!  I also finished, and reviewed, Black Swan, White Raven.

                            Bone     Black White

Total pages read for the week: 849

Total number of books for the year: 44.  My reading is continuing to pick back up from my September slump.  I hope I can keep it going for the rest of the year, but if I continue to get books to review, I don’t think that will be an issue.

What I’m Reading Monday #3

Currently Reading: Villette by Charlotte Bronte, which is my pick for The Classics Club’s month of the Romantics, and The Hobbit and Philosophy.

Hobbit Philosophy

Finished: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, which I hope to have a review done for it by Friday at the latest, and Adventures in Reading by May Lamberton Becker; one of the three books about books and reading I found at the library.  I have several quotes from it for Thursday’s Quotables that I’m excited to share with all of you.

Witches

Total pages read for the week: 577

Total number of books for the year: 42.  I will hopefully finish both of my current reads by the end of the month so that I’ll only have 6 books left to reach my goal for the year, but I’m going to concentrate on Villette so that I will be able to cross off another book from my Classics Club goal list.  I have 5 years in order to finish the list, but that means 10 books per year, and several of the books on my list are longer.  I was able to get a lot more reading down this week than I thought, despite this usually being when my reading slows down.  My classes are in full swing, but somehow it still feels like the very beginning of the semester with not a whole lot to do.  I’m sure that will change, but I’m happy that I had much more time to read this week.
