Currently reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Really enjoying it.

And the TBR pile includes:

Bee Season – Myla Goldberg (library book)

The Horse Whisperer – Nicholas Evans (gearing up for a re-read)

The Third Day, The Frost – John Marsden (book 3 in the Tomorrow series, re-reading them for the umpteenth time)

The Second Last Woman In England – Maggie Joel (borrowed from my sister, have no idea what it’s about)

Anne Of Windy Poplars – L.M. Montgomery (I re-read the Anne books every couple of years – I love them)

On my Nightstand — literally on my nightstand (it’s covered)
1. How to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee — read but haven’t put away
2. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins — read but haven’t put away
3. The Hitchhiker’s Trilogy (all five books in one) by Douglas Adams — waiting to read when I get through the others
4. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (for BC next Thursday)
5. Julie & Julia by Julie Powell (last month’s BC selection that I couldn’t finish but am trying to finish so I can leave a review on goodreads — I don’t like it)
6. When the Sacred Ginmill Closes by Lawrence Block (for an online BC in two weeks)
7. Plus three books that DoubleDay sent me for free that I need to find space for

The Imperfectionists (racing through it on the Kindle)
Polio: An American Story (reading it slowly on the Kindle)
Parrot & Olivier in America (wonderful)
Googled (struggling)
The Last Days of the Incas (recommended by so many people I couldn’t resist)
My Man Jeeves (I’ve got P.G. Wodehouse on a pretty much continuous loop….)

There’s more, but the above are a representative sample.
Cheers!

Yikes! OK, here goes: 3 hardback notebooks: one for ideas, one for random journaling, one for notes on the revision process of my YA novel, oh! and a sketch pad -for IDK, more visual inspiration, I guess.
Books: Devilish by Maureen Johnson (finished but not yet returned to library)
Cup of Comfort for Writers – to bring good dreams
My Saucy Stuffed Ravioli: The Life of Angelica Cookson Potts by Cherry Whytock (currently reading for fun and food/setting inspiration for my novel)
Writing and Publishing Personal Essays by Sheila Bender (procrastinating the writing part…)

I’m reading THE COLONY by Jillian Weise. It’s really different and I’m enjoying it a lot. I’m struggling through THE VANISHING OF KATHARINA LINDEN- it’s not bad, it’s just too YA-y for me.
