Weekly Reading Round-Up

If I were to provide the list of books I’ve been reading this week, it would tell you a little too much about the project I’m currently working on– and I prefer to remain mysterious about that for the moment.

So, instead, I’ll go straight to the main question: what have you been reading?

  1. I loved “Poser: My Life in 23 Yoga Poses” by Claire Dederer. Some of the reviewers panned it for “not being about yoga,” but it’s not supposed to be solely about yoga. I also started reading “Vienna Waltz” by Teresa (Tracy) Grant and I love it so far.

  9. I felt it was time for a little more Amelia Peabody, so I finished The Deeds of the Disturber and started The Last Camel Died at Noon. In between making cookies for my friend’s 30th. So a good few days here!

  11. I’ve just finished the second and third books in Gail Carriger’s Soulless series, as well as the first three of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next books, all of which I enjoyed. I’m starting on Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian, which comes to me highly recommended.

  14. Just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon and have begun Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (4th time reading it). Both are book club reads for the month. We added Jane so we can have a book club movie night when the movie comes out next month. So excited!
