What are you reading?

I went to get it at the library today.  The system has 13 copies, all of them out at the moment and 8 people are waiting for it, so I'm the 9th!  I hope I get to read it before the movie comes out!

I wish you'd said earlier. I'm sending my copy to a friend in Warrington to read/borrow.

I'm starting The Early Years Foundation Stage-Theory and Practice. Edited by Ioanna Palaiologou. It's for work, but, it's actually good because of how it's structured. And it explains stuff that's completely new to me, but, what I use every day.

How sweet of you, abbygirl!  She may finish it before I get a copy from the library since eight people are ahead of me waiting.  So maybe you could send it to me after your friend has read it.

Very true! PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you next.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Before & After Getting Your Puppy.

Yes, I am getting a puppy!  So excited.

Congratulations! Yay for puppy love! 

I'm just starting An Expert in Murder by Nicola Upson, after hearing her speak yesterday. She writes mystery novels with Josephine Tey as the main character!

The First Hour I Believed, Wally Lamb.

I'm trying to read it, anyway.  Emphasis on trying.  I just don't think I like him as an author.

You're not alone. I don't like him either. When he wrote She's Come Undone, some reviewers were remarking on what a fabulous job he had done of writing from a woman's perspective. I thought it was terrible! No woman thinks like that! 

yeah.  I just haven't found one character of his likeable so far.  I don't care about the people at all, and it's not motivating me to read the other 600 pages of this book.

I didn't finish that book - same reason.  I did however, love 'I Know This Much Is True'.

I'm reading, "Watching the English" by Kate Fox. An anthropologist studies her native culture. Finding some useful information, and even after being married to an Englishwoman for 14 years, I've had some "mmmm that's whay she does that" moments.

I only read the first few chapters of it. After that, it got a bit too....I dunno how to describe it, but, not something that I wanted to keep on reading. I sent it back to the friend I borrowed it from. That's just me, probably, though.

Not just you. I only went through a few chapters and I ALWAYS finish a book.  I just felt really weird - almost depressed and homesick.

I liked it!  I especially remember the bit about the English goodbye.

I'm reading Left Bank by Kate Muir for entertainment. The book for work is good-but, really heavy going.

It has been quite a tough read, almost reads like an academic textbook at times. It also seems like she is looking for ways to sterotype the English so she can fit them in a nice little category. I don't want to move to England and think that all English are socially inept or some other stereotype.
