I'm very excited about the book(s) I'll be reading this week. I picked up Leslie Walker Williams THE PRUDENT MARINER from the library Friday afternoon and even though I have been busy doing non-bookish things for most of the weekend, I've managed to read the first few chapters and can tell that it's going to be a very interesting read. This will be my primary book this week, but I'm also keeping THE HOUSE AT RIVERTON by Kate Morton close at hand. I've had this book on my nightstand, literally for months and months, but it seems to get buried somehow by others. I've decided to stop neglecting this most interesting-sounding book and finally read it. Last week was a good book week for me. I posted two reviews, one as part of a virtual book tour with TLC Book Tours, which was BEACH TRIP by Cathy Holton. [Review here] and the other was John Hart's THE LAST CHILD [Review here]. I also finished reading ELLEN FOSTER by Kaye Gibbons and have that review planned for Wednesday.
I promised myself that I would try to make my way through some other books on my nightstand before getting any new ones. but there is a book that has grabbed my attention and I may not be able to stay true to that promise. The book is THE ONLY TRUE GENIUS IN THE FAMILY by Jennie Nash. Months ago I read a review at Booking Mama that first drew me to it and then a few weeks ago BooksAMillion featured it in their Book Preview Club, which allowed me to read the first chapter. Needless to say, I'm hooked. Yes, I admit it - I have no will power when it comes to books! But at least I know I'm not alone! Right?
Well, that is my plan for the week. What's on your agenda? Be sure to visit J-Kaye's Book Blog to see what other book lovers are reading this week.
