I loved Dept. of Speculation! I am on a roll lately. Up next is a YA book that a friend loaned me: All the Truth That's in Me by Julie Berry. I also need to read a middle reader. I have not read anything that my son has read lately.

I made it to page 50 for Netherland, which was my goal, and started a new book yesterday. I am still working on Difficult Daughters and The Dog Stars. I might switch to the print of The Dog Stars soon. It is a good listen, but I tend to forget my audiobooks over the weekend, and I stopped in a terrible place!!

I didn't have as much reading time yesterday, but I did manage to sneak some reading in at work. I got to a pivotal moment in The Dog Stars and then forgot to go back to it! I finished Oscar Wao last night, and it was wonderful. I will definitely be reading more Junot Diaz.
Tuesday

Books Read: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
Time Listened: Approx 2 hours, 20 minutes - I forgot to mark where I started!

I did not get in as much reading today, but it was a good blogging day, so I will take that as a success.

I am very happy with my first day. Since I had already started Midwinterblood, I am not sure if it should count toward my total.
COUNT IT! I counted mine (I just put a "read the last 88 pages" tag to the end of that stat). This is all for fun anyway! =)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your week!
I will be reading Oscar Wao in June with a reading group, and I'm beyond excited :) Looks like Bout of Books was successful for you - I remember finishing four books last time in January, and it made me feel like a superhero :)
