osprey_archerWhat I’ve Just Finished Reading
I already posted about The Cartographer’s Daughter, and nothing else this week. It’s been a busy week!
What I’m Reading Now
I’m actually working on two NetGalley books: Mary McAuliffe’s When Paris Sizzled (about Paris post World War I) and Daniel Blum’s Sleep Wise. I’m enjoying When Paris Sizzles, although I think it would benefit if McAuliffe had picked a slightly smaller cast of characters instead of throwing in everyone who was anyone.
Sleep Wise is on hold for the moment because I am trying for once in my life to actually follow the advice in a self-help book, and therefore keeping a sleep log.
What I Plan to Read Next
My eyes were bigger than my stomach over at NetGalley: I have The Story People, American Enlightenments: Pursuing Happiness in the Age of Reason (which is actually about post-Revolutionary War America, although you could be forgiven for thinking it’s yet another self-help book), and Winter with God, which is a devotional for when life sucks, which seems like the kind of devotional I might like, even though I’m not a Christian. Although we’ll see.
Then I went back and requested Krystyna Mihulka’s memoir Krysia about her childhood after being deported to a Soviet communal farm during World War II. I may have a NetGaley problem.
I also plan to read All Quiet on the Western Front sometime this month for my reading challenge. I have tomorrow off; perhaps I should devote it to this cause.
