Another week down. I had a great week of reading, mostly because I participated in the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon. It was a last-minute decision to join in and I'm glad I did it. I only read for 7 1/2 hours, but that's pretty good given that I spent the day with the family too.
I only wrote one review last week, and with the read-a-thon, I never got around to writing my weekly children's book reviews. The book I did review is The Girl's Guide to Homelessness by Brianna Karp, so you can check that out.
As far as reading goes, I read the second half of Serena
I also need to do a review for The Complete Walt Disney World 2010
Currently Reading
I'm still reading Aliens on Vacation
I've also started reading Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer. I'm reading this one just because I want to. I had heard about it and it sounded interesting so I bought it for my Nook.
Up Next
Next, I think I'll read one of my NetGalley books, These Dark Things

I loved doing the Read-a-Thon it was a lot of fun! I have lots of reviews to write. Here is my week: http://www.lisasworldofbooks.com/2011/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_11.html
ReplyDeleteI have never read The Road.... I really should do that one of these days :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the read-a-thon but my in-laws were in town and I had to spend time with them instead. :( I did get some major reading done when we all went to the beach yesterday - I finished Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell (it's over 600 pages!). Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, you mention so many good books, I decided to become your latest follower! I also did the readathon and my total for last week was 6 books (2.5 in the readathon). So amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week.
I'm really curious about Moonwalking with Einstein. Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteThe read-a-thon sounds great but like a pipe dream for me! How did you manage to read so much with two little kids around??
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean about going too slow on the kids' book - that used to happen to us sometimes, too. It's hard to sustain interest if you can't read every day. It's tough when the kids are involved in stuff, plus school, etc. The only time we are able to read aloud anymore is on vacation (of course, my kids are 16 and 13 so I guess that's OK now!)
