I’m home with the kiddos on Spring Break and trying to maintain my sanity as best as possible. Yesterday, my in-laws took the boys to the natural history museum, and so I found myself with time on my hands! I had some errands to run – one of which being a library run to return some videos that were due.
And I honestly can’t tell you that last time I was in the library ALONE! No kids trailing along, complaining if I even try to go into the Grown-Up section. I’d stare longingly at the shelves in the distance while hauling ass upstairs to the Children’s area. But yesterday, with no kids in sight, I gleefully entered the stacks and immediately went batshit crazy. With Goodreads on my iPhone, dialed up to my “to-read” list, I began scrolling to find the title of the books I’ve been waiting forever for. Or that have languished on the “to-read” list for way too long.
The below is the result of my library trip. Now, keep in mind, I also have a double-digit TBR pile at home, as well as about 15 .mobi files that I need to review for Literary R&R. Good thing they’re free at the library.
Clearly, I need an intervention, because I am a full-fledged bookaholic. There’s no way, even if I do nothing else, that I will read all of these in the alloted two weeks.
Being Wednesday, I thought I’d participate in the W.W.W. Wednesday meme hosted by Should Be Reading. To participate, all you need to do is answer the following questions:
1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you’ll read next?
So …
1. What are you currently reading?
See photo above. I’m starting with The Last Time I Saw You by Elizabeth Berg. So far, it is excellent. I was not a huge fan of the last Elizabeth Berg I read, but this one is much better.
2. What did you recently finish reading?
In the past week, I read Landing by Emma Donoghue and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.
3. What do you think you’ll read next?
After I get through the pile above, I’m probably going to read The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion.
The Old Man and the Sea is the only book my husband has ever read on purpose, so I’ve always wondered what the fuss is about … lol. This is my first time to your blog (from MizB’s). My list is at http://katybrandes.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/www-wednesday-march-27/.
That sounds a lot like my husband! Thanks for visiting, Katy, and let me know how you like Gone Girl!
