This week’s theme for Weekly Geeks is to get caught up on something. I desperately need to get caught up on reviews! You can see my backlog here. My goal is to write at least 5 reviews this week.
The 24 hour read-a-thon is set for October 18th. I’m so excited for it as I’ve participated both times previously, and it was a blast. This time I plan on reading (at least) the second book from the Eyre Affair series and the third book from the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. I may also read some children’s/YA books. I highly recommend lighter fare for the read-a-thon. It is easy to get bogged down when reading heavier or classic material.
This coming week I plan on reading X Stands for Unknown by Isaac Asimov because I need it for the Non-Fiction Challenge as well as for an ‘X’ title. I’ve started this book, and it really isn’t that bad so far. Then again, I have a technical degree so I’m used to technical jargon.
I also hope to read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society soon. Everyone is giving it rave reviews. I have the ARC of it and can’t wait to delve into it. When ‘X’ gets too serious, I may have to jump on over to Guernsey.
In other news, I really like the Goodwill store near me as I often find some gems for only 59 cents. This past week I found The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder in great condition. I’ve wanted to read this one for a long time, so although I probably won’t get to it until next year, I was excited to find it at such a cheap price.
Have a great week of reading, everyone!
