I like making lists of books I want to read. Especially when time-off is upcoming. Today, I put together the list for June, July and August. Suffice to say – even if I read the entire time and ignore all of the other responsibilities, I won’t be able to read them all. But I am not a quitter…so I will try.
Twenty-seven books approximately spread between the three various ways I get books. Another fifteen from Net Galley that didn’t make the first list. Eight or so I will have to buy as I know already our library does not carry those authors. That leaves about nineteen books to borrow from the library. Obviously in ten weeks, while working part time, I can not finish everything with crocheting and blogging. I am going to try.
Some of the books I am looking forward to read:
Random in Death by JS Robb
The Truth about the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline
The Cliffs by J Coutney Sullivan
The Comfort of Ghosts by Jacqueline Winspear
Shelterwood by Lisa Wingate
Right now, I am reading The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians. My bestie suggested the book as she found it interesting. I have to admit, I too am finding it interesting. It is a fast read with each chapter being short and by another bookseller or librarian and their relationships with books. I was sorry to see that our local bookstore (Mainstreet Bookends) was not represented.
Elise sent in a book review Double Tap. The book seems to include a thriller genre with spies and a serial killer. Elise also sent in an interview with Shelly Shepard Gray, the author of Unforgiven. The interview does focus on Unforgiven and includes a tease for her next book.
Hmmm. Forty-three books (about) to read in seventy days. I am going to try.
