Slim reading this week! Work & Mother's Day (I made dinner for the whole family) & not one but two birthdays have all conspired to keep me busy.
What I've Just Finished Reading
I did manage to finish Miss Read's Farther Afield, though, in which Miss Read goes to Crete with her friend Amy, which is pleasant and lovely in the gentle way of all Miss Read books.
What I'm Reading Now
Working on Hamilton. Concerned I will not have time to finish Hamilton in May, as I am not yet on page 100 and the book is not grabbing me by the scruff of the neck and demanding to be read. Perhaps I should line up another (significantly shorter) book about immigrants to make sure I fulfill my reading challenge.
Oh! And I got the final book in the Lady Trent series, Within the Sanctuary of Wings! Which is off to a cracking good start. Of course it is too soon to say this for sure, but so far every book in the series has been better than the last (of course it helps in this regard that the first book was truly rather lackluster), and I have every hope that this one will continue the trend.
What I Plan to Read Next
The library has Angela Thirkell's The Brandons in for me! And perhaps I ought to get Esperanza Rising for my immigration book? It's been vaguely in my sights for a while...
