It's the weekend again, which means it's time for another Book Blogger Hop. Yay! These are so much fun. It's a fabulous opportunity to find new book blogs and "meet" other bloggers. Join the fun by clicking over to Crazy For Books.
This week's question is: What are you reading now? You're never going to believe my answer - nothing. I finished Beauty by Robin McKinley this morning. I really enjoyed it. Next up is The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams. I've sneaked a peek or two, but haven't actually started reading it yet. I'm excited to see what it's all about.
Happy Hopping!

Just hopping by to say hello. Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I just became a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI adore Robin McKinley. My favorite of hers is Sunshine.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou might want to fix that first link. Hope to see you soon!

I think it's time you committed to finish Ender's Game. The audio production that was made for the 20th anniversary of the book is excellent and easy to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI have read and loved Rebecca, Sense and sensibility, and The Glass Castle. I want to read Into Thin Air and Three Cups of Tea.
I only read "My Sisters Keeper" and "The Glass Castle." The "Glass Castle" is about a very unusual and strange family. I found it quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding me on the hop! I am now following you!!

Wow! That's an impressive summer reading list. My stepson had to read one book going into 7th grade, and he chose Slob by author I can't remember. My stepdaughter is going into AP English in high school, and she had to read 2 books, so she read five off the list instead. Can't even tell you how many she's read total this summer. She's got me beat, that's for sure! She just finished To Kill a Mockingbird and a book called Bruiser today. I'm just trying to get through the last 50 pages of Beatrice and Virgil.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've typed your "ear off." Happy Hopping!
