This should actually be one of my easiest weekly posts since it’s really just a recap of what’s been going on in this Book Faery’s reading world but I seem to always find other things to do except this one.
To start off this week’s SS and before I get to the books currently on my shelf, here’s a poem I found about books…
OPEN A BOOK
Open a book
And you will find
People and places
Of every kind.Open a book
And you can be
Anything that
You want to be.Open a book
And you can share
Wonderous worlds
You find in there.Open a book
And I will, too.
You read to me,
And I’ll read to you.~ Author Unknown ~
Now on to The Book Faery’s book adventures for the week!Here’s a quick recap of what went on this week around here…
- Book Review: Hearts of Stone by Kate Gessner
- Become a Published Author Series: Accessing Your Novel Writing Process
- Book Review & Giveaway: Work in Progress: An Unfinished Woman’s Guide to Grace by Kristen Armstrong
- Save the Best for Last by Kim Hanks with Author Interview
Even though I have many shelves of books, I still enjoy buying more books, borrowing books from the library, or getting a book through other sources. There are many unread books on the shelves because I am constantly rotating books out for replacements (unless of course I fell in love with the book). So the other week I grabbed a bag full as I have a habit of reading books simultaneously. At different moments through the week I’ll grab one of those books which peaks my interest of the moment.
- Strange Candy by Laurell K. Hamilton (READ)
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button read via daily e-mail snippets from DailyLit (STILL READING)
- Almost a Brideby Jane Feather (STILL READING)
- Real Sex for Women by Laura Berman (READ)
