What I Read and What I'm Reading Now



A very quick look at the books I read and acquired last week....


What I Read Last Week

Strange Pilgrims? A Latin Haruki Murakami.
Mrs. Mike? A romance and an adventure.
The Oregon Trail? Two brothers in 2011 take the Oregon Trail. Complete with wagon and mules.
The Running Man? Silkworms, a mysterious Vietnam vet, and a scary running man.


What Arrived in the Mail


 

A Walk in the Woods, 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived,
Rising Strong, Fab Four Friends, and A Window Opens


What I'm Reading Now


A Window Opens
                 


What are you reading today?!




What is the Sunday Salon? Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them,and they're all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book. Click here to join the Salon.

The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news and recap the past week.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week.  It is now being hosted here.

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which you can share the books you've acquired.

    The Corpse With The Platinum Hair. Catching up on this series as the new one comes out in October. The Oregon Trail looks good :)

      Too early for me to say if it is going to be a good read. More later.

    I also want to read A Window Opens. Am seeing it everywhere, but I may way a bit. You got Mrs. Mike! I loved that book and read it a long, long time ago. Amazing. Haven't thought about that book in years. Have a good week! Our area starts tomorrow too. My husband is completely depressed as traffic will be awful. The grocery store was insane this afternoon.

    A Window Opens looks like a fun read, enjoy. A Walk in the Woods seems like the movie will be a bit different than the book. Hmm
