Monday Status Check, Maybe on Time

Well, I just missed last week's Monday check-in, but this week I'm ready! It's a habit I want to get back into, so I can see what I've been reading.  This week I've finished:

• "I Am a Man": Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice, by Joe Starita, my Nebraska book
• How Starbucks Saved My Life, by Michael Gill, from my TBR list
• Old Man's War, John Scalzi, for my book club (reread for me)
• How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous, Georgia Bragg, a book I got for my kids but looked good enough for me as well
• What Jamie Saw, Carolyn Coman, a Reading My Library book (I'm on kidlit C's!)

Wow, the majority of books finished this week were nonfiction.  And adult books.


I'm currently reading:

• One Door Away From Heaven, Dean Koontz.  I think this is the first Koontz I've read; it was a gift from the school bus driver.  I'm mid-way through.  Again.
• Boiling Point, K.L. Dionne.  A South American book for my challenge.
• Dazzled and Deceived, Peter Forbes.  From my TBR list.
• Prophecy, T.C. Southwell (NOOK).  Free book from Barnes & Noble.
• Split, Swati Avasthi (NOOK).  Library book on the Cybils list.
• Heat, Nancy Holder  My finisher award book.
• Traveling Mercies, Anne Lamott.  I'm in her druggie youth days, yawn.
• The Terrorists of Irustan, Louise Marley.  They are going to get caught soon.
• The Secret Duke, Jo Beverly.  Poke book.  They've just agreed to part..., maybe I should stop here.
• How I Met My Countess, Elizabeth Boyle.  She's an idiot.  They broke up because they didn't talk.
• The End of Racism, Dinesh D'Souza.  I disagree with most of his conclusions.

What will I read next? I'm trying to get those challenges done!  I have almost all of the remaining Cybils books from the library, and I'm trying to combine the alphabet and state books.  And work in the Globals.  Ack!
