Well, between the whirlwind of a weekend and several nights of insomnia I think it’s time for this Bookgirl to take a bit of a break. So, I’m sorry I won’t be around the blogosphere much this week (oh, yes, and I’ve got a quick trip up to Dallas) but I really do have lots of bookish stuff to share with you and promise to get to it next week.
I will tell you that I’m still in the middle of several books. They are:
- The Ice Chorus by Sarah Stonich. The author sent me this book and I’m enjoying the dreamy quality of it. It’s about a documentary filmmaker who goes to Ireland hoping to find refuge from her past and in the meantime immersing herself in the lives of others.
- The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. Remember I mentioned that I picked this one up for Banned Book Week? Well, I love this book so far. It’s much more than I had expected so I can’t wait to find out what happens.
- A Deadly Paradise by Grace Brophy. I can’t say that I’ve liked this one as much as the first book in the series but who knows how the ending will turn out and so I’ll tell you later what I thought.
I’m sure I’ll add another into the mix soon. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week – read something good – and I’ll be back soon.

Have a good break. Sometimes we just need to recharge our batteries offline.
Thank you guys! I’m resting up and of course getting through some books! You guys have a great week. Hugs.
I feel your pain!! I have battled insomnia for a long time. Stress has a way of dealing me many sleepless nights. Hopefully, you are feeling better now!!
Breaks are good. Sometimes you just need that time to yourself. Will be waiting paitently for your bookish stuff!
Definitely take care of yourself, Iliana. I hope you enjoyed your time in Dallas. I have A Deadly Paradise sitting in my stack waiting to be read. I should have had it read months ago. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it.
It’s been a whirlwind for me as well, having meetings in LA. Enjoy your break, and enjoy the relaxed reading time! 🙂
Hope you’re feeling better and the break has helped! I’ve been a bit under the weather myself somy computer time has been limited this past week, too! Glad to hear you’re spending time with books, though. I’m curious about the Stonich–I read an earlier novel of hers.
Take care of yourself.
have a great weekend and enjoy your break 🙂
Taking a break and taking care of yourself is always a good thing! enJOY
Hi Iliana.
I know it’s been years and eons, but it’s Heather in AZ. We used to chat/email/read each other’s blogs. I happened upon an old blog I used to read and looked at her blogs she reads and saw yours and I had a light bulb moment. 🙂
How are you doing?
