What I Am Reading Right Now
What Am I Reading?
I am currently reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt on my Kindle.
My plans are to attempt to read some of the books I started within the past year but never finished because I was distracted by certain events.
I was away from book blogging because the past few months have indeed been very busy.
Someone I knew was getting married, so I attended an engagement party/“surprise” bridal shower/and posh wedding.
I also knew two different people who died on the same day.
So there were wakes/viewings/and funerals to attend.
My husband and I spent some time in Pennsylvania visiting my stepdaughter and her husband.
I also have been writing a book that I hope to upload on Kindle during the next year, and I am writing essays and querying magazine article ideas.
I am frantically writing some book reviews.
Of course, I am also preparing for Christmas.
I Am Going To Book Sales
I love going to “pre-owned” book sales! There are so many where I live and the selections are great.
I visited a book sale yesterday and these are some of the books I scored):
- The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman
- Consequences by Penelope Lively
- The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit by Lucette Lagnado
- Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
- Winter Bloom by Tara Heavey
- The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
I’m looking forward to reading all of them!

You have been busy haven't you. It's good that you're still finding time for your reading.
Book sales always kill me. I never have the time to read all the books i bring in. =)

I bought the Goldfinch book when Amazon had it on sale.
I love what you picked up at the sale, too.

Thank you very much!

I always find time for reading! And I do love book sales. But I figure that even if I don't read them all, they are so inexpensive that I didn't go broke buying them.

The Goldfinch is popular right now. I want to read Winter Gloom, well all by Kristin H actually. Sorry for your losses, sounds like a sweet sour few months.

The Goldfinch is the "in" book right now, I guess.

Oh my goodness, you've had a lot going on!
I love, love, love Alice Hoffman. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Dovekeepers! (I haven't read it yet)
Indeed. Nelson Mandela's death… just 🙁 He was an inspiration.

The Dovekeepers is a fantastic book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
