What Are You Reading: January 16, 2012: 01/16/12
I'm feeling better. The kids are back in school but I'm not yet. So I'm spending some of my spare time reading. Although my goal is to read a greater portion of longer books I'm still reading at last year's pace. I'm sure this will slow down when school starts for me. It certainly will once I find a job — another goal for this year. I finally finished Red Glove and am eagerly awaiting the third book. I am completely sucked into the Curse Workers series by Holly Black. At long last I'm reading Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby. It's hilarious. Why didn't I start it sooner? I found This Perfect Day by Ira Levin in my car of all places. So I'm back to reading it. I would like to finish it this week. Except for one book which I'm still waiting for, I've finished my CYBILS reading. I will review the books after the winners are announced on February 12th. Did Not Finish:

Comment #1: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 16:48:24 WOW!! You were certainly very busy last week!! Happy Reading :) Comment #2: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:51:04 Pussreboots Thanks. I've been reading for fun with my morning coffee, something I can't do when I'm school. Comment #3: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 17:00:02 I have fallen in love with Holly Black's writing and cannot wait for the next book in the series either. So many good books being released this year! Comment #4: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:53:10 Pussreboots I am hoping to be a little more current with my reading this year. Comment #5: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 17:50:26 Thanks for sharing...I still want to check out This Perfect Day. I'll be watching for your review. Thanks for visiting my blog. Comment #6: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:54:15 Pussreboots I'm reading This Perfect Day slowly. But it's classic Levin. Comment #7: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 18:22:40 Glad you are feeling better! You have a lot of interesting books on your list. I love Sophie Kinsella's books and I have Remember Me? I hope you're enjoying it. Comment #8: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:56:22 Pussreboots Remember Me? is a good balance between funny and touching. I might focus on finishing it this week just to see how it all turns out. Comment #9: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 19:48:44 I have never read anything by Holly Black, but I hear good things. You've had a great reading week! Comment #10: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:58:34 Pussreboots The Curse Worker books are an interesting take on organized crime, politics and magic. Comment #12: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 23:00:12 Pussreboots Yes but I'm on vacation so my usual homework time is being spent reading for fun. Comment #13: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 21:40:14 I can't wait til my kids go back to school in 3 weeks! Comment #14: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 23:01:14 Pussreboots Wow. Long vacation for them! Comment #15: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:11:30 Glad you are feeling better. Looks like you are doing good in reading. Now I am really interested in Fairy Bad Day! Comment #16: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 23:02:21 Pussreboots I've read all of Ashby's books. She's one of my favorite new authors. Comment #17: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 22:40:51 I really enjoyed Magyk, and I love the title of Fairy Bad Day! Enjoy your week! Comment #18: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 23:03:24 Pussreboots I am enjoying Magyk as well. I can sort of see where the plot is going but I'm having fun reading it. Fairy Bad Day is good too. Comment #19: Tuesday, January, 17, 2012 at 05:38:36 I heard that Home is very good. I fancied reading that. Glad you are feeling better. I am back at school too and expect a reading slow down. It definitely slowed down during my first term before Christmas. Comment #20: Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 21:28:53 Pussreboots School starts for me on Wedesday. My reading's about to slow dramatically.
