This is one of those weeks in which I've got lots of good books I'm hauling through. The circles under my eyes are showing it...no sleep, only reading.
I'm finishing up ALMOST FRENCH. It became the book I've kept in the pool bag, so it's taking longer than the others. But I like it. It's a memoir about an Aussie who moves to France.
Finished RIGHT OF THIRST in one day (and night). Very good book about a cardiologist who goes to work in a relief camp. The author's agent or mktg person sent it to me along with a couple emails. Yay for her. I'll be recommending it in my column soon.
THE LOST OF ART OF KEEPING SECRETS is a fun, sweet story of love after WWII. When I started it, I thought, "There's no way this author (Eva Rice) can keep up this pace through the whole book." But she did.
SKINNY DIP by Carl Hiaasen (known for his fab MG books, but this one is surely for adults) is a riot. I had to force myself to turn out the lights and go to sleep last night.
I love reading.

How come I've not heard of any of these books? Maybe I've been hanging around the MG shelves too much....I'll have to check them out, thanks :D
Ahhh, I love reading, too. My stack of books is sooo big, but eventually I will get through it!
Reading rules all.
Reading is amazing when you find so many good books. I think you've got one of the best jobs out there. Reading all the time would suit me fine! :)
My reading regularly gets in the way of my writing.
And I've read Skinny Dip, which might be the first time I've read a book you mentioned on the blog.
I absolutely love reading and never had a problem picking up a book while working on my MS UNTIL I was almost done. I can't read anything while I'm in the process of querying. The only exception was Angela's Ashes, but simply because it was excellent. I can't wait to be a voracious reader again!
TESS: I also get lost in the MG section...where were these books when I was a teeny bopper?!
KELLY: Let me know if you find a gem on your shelves.
BIG PLAIN V: Reading is one of my top 5 activities. The East Library in CO Springs is one of my top 10 places in the world. Seriously.
MADISON: I do love my job. I wish it paid more!
PMM: What did you think of "Skinny Dip?" I've read tons of books you mention on the side of your blog.
LITTLE MS J: We actually named one of our children after a "character" in ANGELA'S ASHES. Love that book. I've been doing a lot more reading than writing, lately.
