I'm juggling two wildly different books for FridayReads and the weekend: A Different Sky by Meira Chand (historical set in 1920s-1950s Singapore) and In the Forests of the Night by Kersten Hamilton (contemporary YA featuring a sturdy heroine with goblin blood). The differing reads suit my differing moods. It's been a rough week and sadly, my weekend doesn't promise to be very quiet, so I'm just hoping I can get through next week and survive until the Thanksgiving holiday (when I'll have four days off!). Needless to say, I'm counting down the days!What are you reading this weekend?
I hear you with the busy week and the busy weekend coming up. I'd just like a few minutes to read thank you very much. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm reading two different books as well: Song of the Nile by Stephanie Dray and A Train in Winter by Caroline Moorhead.
Have a great weekend, and just keep your eyes on the long Thanksgiving break!
I won't be reading very much this weekend, as I have a Fall Festival at church to organize. It's going to be a heck of a crazy day, and I am hoping that it goes off really well. As far as reading time goes, well, that will be sadly lacking!
ReplyDeleteI have a review to write for a poetry book and just finished up we the animals yesterday (stunning book)! I am reading Camp Nine later today after work...pesky work...always in the way of my reading.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend....I'm hosting an early birthday party for that first commenter up there...(Anna)!
It's crazy here as well, and I can only see it getting more hectic!
ReplyDeleteI am reading The September Queen by Gillian Bagwell and The Wars of the Roses (non-fic) by Desmond Seward.
Have a good weekend and try to relax a bit :)
ooh, curious about the Meira Chand, how is it? working my way through the Marriage Plot - like, not love, so far. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBoth sound good :)
ReplyDeleteI am a bit bored with my book, so I shall not mention it
@Anna: Exactly! Looking forward to your thoughts on both those reads -- A Train in Winter I obv immediately thought of you, and when I saw you had read Lily of the Nile I was v excited.
ReplyDelete@Heather: Good luck -- fingers crossed that your Fall Festival goes well (and isn't too exhausting!).
@Serena: Oooh, looking forward to both reviews (I'm so regretting not hopping on the tour for Camp Nine now!). And hooray for Anna's birthday -- fun!!
@Svea: I haven't read any Bagwell -- but I need to -- I'll look for your review.
My reading is sadly lacking as is my commenting lately. lol. I'm just starting a book for Monday - Her Sister's Shadow and I've also got The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay on the go. They are both very different books as well. Hope you have a great weekend and manage to find a few peaceful moments.
ReplyDeleteMy reading's been suffering a bit this week. Hopefully I can make up for it this weekend. I'm reading The Lotus Eater and The Easter Parade. I also have a book of short stories, Volt, to read.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some time to read this weekend.
Hang in there :o)
yup, the holiday season upon us makes it tough reading times. and too, i feel like reading sentimental stuff instead of what's on the docket.
ReplyDeleteDon't have too much planned for the weekend, so I hope to catch up on some reading and reviews. Enjoy any free time you squeeze in.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally reading Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin.!
