Currently on the Bookshelf:
- Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater. MG & I are taking turns reading this out loud to each other. (Little does she know, it's good for her!) It's fun to hear her sound out the antiquated words & read all of the penguin sounds, "Orrrrk!"
- The Road to Grace by Richard Paul Evans. This is the 3rd book in The Walk Series about a man who's lost everything, and decides to walk from his Portland, Oregon, home to the farthest walkable point on the map: Key West, Florida. He's only in South Dakota now, so I wonder how many more books it will take to drag this story out.
- Ceremony in Death by J. D. Robb. Book 5 in the In Death series with Eve Dallas. My Kindle loan expired from the library, so I've got to get back into this series with the paperback. A pure comfort read when you already know most of the characters.
What I Just Finished:
- Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris. Brain-candy for the paranormal in me. I think we're up to book 12 in this series - and even though this one was a bit better than the last, I'm still thinking it's time to end the series. Plus, as the years go on, it's getting harder to not confuse the plots with what I watch on TrueBlood!
- Rapture in Death by J. D. Robb. Book 4 in the In Death series with Eve Dallas. I listened to most of this when I didn't have the paperback in hand.
Still Waiting for Me to Pick Up & Read:
- Calico Joe by John Grisham. A short one by Grisham about baseball. Can't be too bad, can it? (Yes, it could be terrible.... like his other ventures into non-legal fiction.)
- Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. After watching the miniseries for Books I, II & III of North & South with Hubby recently, I thought it was about time I knocked this book off my bucket list. (I have no idea if I'll enjoy it or not - I just know that it's over 1,000 pages if it's only mediocre!
