Sheila from One Person’s Journey through a World of Books hosts this meme and I love to participate in it!  Head on over and check out her blog and the great participants there.

I almost did it this week!  Still working on one of the books I’d planned to have read – but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and… again, I stuck to my list!

Books I read this past week:

1. Middlemarch by George Eliot (FINALLY)
2. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
3. The Poacher’s Son by Paul Doiron
4. On Beauty by Zadie Smith
5. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

Books I’m currently reading:

1. Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang
2. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera (Audiobook)

I have quite the list..but most of these are due back (not the Nujood book..but I’ve been really wanting to read it).  We’ll see how much I actually accomplish next Monday!

This is sort of an In my Mailbox/Library Loot type of post.  I pick up so many books each week though it’s going to be difficult to round them all up and remember..but I’m going to give it a try!
