Where in the heck did January go? Don’t they always say that month feels like the longest? It certainly didn’t feel that way for me; as I’ve mentioned several times (sorry!) my workload has been crazy and as much as I complain about it at least it does make the time pass very quickly. Add to that a renewed commitment to exercise and get fit and unfortunately something has to give; which has been my reading time. I of course still managed to find time to read, and finished or started everything on my list for January, but I have not been able to read as much as I like, nor to spend time on writing and posting reviews. I am really hoping that things at work calm down enough soon where I won’t need to work weekends, but lately when I think I see a light in the tunnel it is a freight train.
Anyways, on to what I plan to read in February:
For Review:
Beyond the Possible by Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani
Not Less than Everything edited by Catherine Wolff
Capital of the World: The Race to Host the United Nations by Charlene Mires
For Reading Challenges:
Finding Me in France by Bobbi French
Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides
The Thief of Auschwitz by Jon Clinch
For Book Club:
The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund De Waal
Hopefully I’ll have time for more, but …..
I started reading The Hare with the Amber Eyes about a month ago. I know that this is exactly the kind of book that I should love, but I haven’t managed to really get into it (I’m ashamed to admit it!). I hope to try again soon. And given the many enthusiastic responses it has had there’s a good chance you’d like it much better! I hope you do
It looks interesting, Iris. It’s not the type of book my group normally reads, so I’m looking forward to the conversation.
I loved Clinch’s Kings of the Earth so I am really looking forward to your thoughts on his latest work.
I wasn’t thrilled with Kings of the Earth but I am looking forward to reading The Thief of Auschwitz. He decided to self-publish, which is interesting.
Pingback: Sunday Caught My Interest « Reflections from the Hinterland
all of these sound like ones that will be good — enjoy
Thanks Diane! I can’t wait to jump in.
I haven’t read any of these books – look forward to your opinion of them. Hope your book group either likes the book a lot or hates it, so you can have a good discussion about it!
We seem to have trouble with non-fiction books, Judith, so I hope this book is one that will spark interest either good or bad.
