This is the meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. I look at what I've read, what I'm reading, and how I'm doing on any challenges. This week I finished:
- Absolutely American, David Lipsky.
- Mastiff, by Tamora Pierce
- Dark Whispers, Bruce Corville
- Half World, Hiromi Goto
All were from the library, and one was for a book club. I've also read some of the Cybils picture books, but this year I'm not keeping track of my picture book count.
I'm currently reading:
I'm currently reading:
- Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe. Turns out I can renew this, so it fell back in urgency.
- A Lady Awakened, Cecelia Grant. Romance the Early Readers sent me.
- Twilight and Philosophy. So I could properly appreciate the movie.
- White Night, Jim Butcher. Audio book for car. I can't decide if I've read this before or not -- some of it sounds familiar. I'll wait till I'm done to look it up.
- Enchanted Glass, Diana Wynne Jones. Audio book for when the kids are in the car.
- London Eye Mystery, Siobhan Dowd. Reading my library book.
- Bindi Babes, Narinder Dhami. Reading my library. Slowly.
- The First Men In the Moon, H.G. Wells. Heh, heh, they just name-checked Jules Verne.
- Twenty Palaces, Harry Connolly. On my NOOK. When his publisher didn't pick up the Ray Lily books (BOO), he self-published the extra one. I like this author.
- Traveling Mercies, Anne Lamott. I'm out of her youth so no more drugs. Yay!
- The Terrorists of Irustan, Louise Marley. They got caught.
- The Secret Duke, Jo Beverly. They struggle on, knowing they'll never meet again. Ha!
- The End of Racism, Dinesh D'Souza. A bad example he likes is a trend; one he doesn't like is an anomaly.
What will I read next? Mostly more library books coming due. The only new books entering the house will be for book clubs, Cybils finalists, and Reading My Library entries. After I conquer the library mountain, I'll start on my unread book piles.
Challenges I've signed up for (for which I've signed up?):
Challenges I've signed up for (for which I've signed up?):
- Cybils: 6/80. Or I should say 6/73, since the 7 Apps aren't possible.
- Where Am I Reading?: 1/50. Everything I've read has either been in New York or off planet. Or in Canada.
- TBR Double Dare. So far everything I've read is a library book.
- Comment Challenge. I skipped yesterday, so I need 10 comments today.

I loved the London Eye Mystery!
Wow! There's a lot of books there, and I thought I was bad with the huge pile of books I'm trying to get through. All the best with your reading :)
That's a wide ranging list! I am impressed with the fact that you challenge yourself and read so widely.
