That’s it, I’ve told myself that I cannot start any new books this weekend.
Since you can’t see some of the titles, here are the books I’m currently in the middle of:
- Alone With You by Marisa Silver
- Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell
- The Wings of the Sphinx by Andrea Camilleri
- Mariana by Monica Dickens
- The Mapping of Love and Death by Jacqueline Winspear
- River of Darkness by Rennie Airth
- Tomorrow River by Lesley Kagen
So that’s part of my weekend plan. I’m also looking forward to going to the Renegade Craft Fair. I didn’t get a chance to participate this year but my dream is to one day have a booth with my journals. One day.
How about you, are you planning to start any new books or finish some this weekend? Hope it’s fabulous and more bookish talk soon.

Wow, look at those books! 😀
I got Mariana yesterday! It’s my first Persephone book and I’m excited, LOL.
Happy reading!
My weekend, as ususal, looks like chaos. Fun chaos, but probably doesn’t include much reading. I do hope to finish my current read “Beastly” and start a Vietnam book!
I have craft plans this weekend too as am off to a local bead fair 🙂 Then Robin Hood beckons I think (crosses fingers it is good). Your pile is so pretty, how could you abandon them for something shiny and new (ah the lure of the new).
Wow, you are reading lots of books at the moment. I can only cope with two at a time,so I am very impressed.
How is it that photographs of books always look so lovely? Have reading and at the craft fair! I’ll be doing school homework this weekend and gardening. Hopefully I’ll get to read for fun in there somewhere too.
Melody – Yay! We’ll have to compare notes. I haven’t made it much further into my book sadly but hopefully I’ll get in another few chapters in this weekend. I hope you enjoy it!
Sandy – Well, I always have these big plans for lots of reading and then I don’t know what happens! haha… Hope you can sneak in a page or two.
Jodie – Oh how fun! Take pictures 🙂 I’ll be looking forward to your review of Robin Hood. I’m sort of tempted. And, yes, shiny new books are hard to resist.
vivienne – I typically don’t do more than 3-4 but I don’t know what came over me this time 🙂
Stefanie – I know, it’s hard to take a bad picture of a bookstack right? 🙂 I need to do some gardening too but first I need to get a book on gardening to figure out what I’m doing! haha.. Don’t work too hard and get some fun reading time too ok.
My pile is much the same, and I really need to concentrate on one in particular this weekend–so definitely nothing new for me!! I think I even need to do a very serious weeding of library books and cull everything I know I won’t get to right away as my borrowing has gotten a little out of hand… 🙂
Wow, I am impressed that you can read so many books at one time. I’m a one at a time book person but wish I could read several at once like you.
How on earth did you start so many different books? You are hilarious. My top is like 3, and it usually only happens when one isn’t really grabbing my attention.
I am cleaning house today for a gals slumber party I talked about on my blog this week (inspired by a book, of course). I’m also reading Little, Big and have a couple mysteries – James Lee Burke and Iain Rivers (?). I am going to try to make it to the library also as I haven’t made it all week to get my new library card!
Have a great weekend!
Danielle – I’m thinking I need to go on a library ban! I have been checking so many books out and I love it but my stacks are just growing and it’s getting crazy! Hope you make a dent in your stacks 🙂
Kathleen – I like to have a couple going on as I’m such a moody reader but I think I went overboard this time! haha
jrav – I know, I got carried away didn’t I? A slumber party? Oh how fun! I’m so behind on my blog reading this week. That’s another thing I hope to do, catch up blogs. I want to see what all you guys are doing 🙂
Happy reading Iliana, I can’t read more than three at a time, I get confused…lol.
Enjoy the fair! You’ll have your booth someday and do fabulous selling your pretty journals.
I’ve been surprisingly good at not starting books since I’ve been home on maternity leave. I fully expected to be a horrible starter and a bad finisher, but so far I’ve stuck to the same two books! Now if I can ever wrap them up, I’ll be good to go.
Enjoy your fair!
Happy reading to you. I hope you enjoy these books. I also have a lot to read.
Yes, I’m right there with you, and sooooo tempted to start another enticing book!
Those are some good books you have there! I’m curious what you think of Mariana — it’s one I’d like to read one of these days.
Usually I’m a monogamous reader, but I have 4 or 5 books going right now myself. It’s frustrating. LOL
I’m reading Rumor Has It right now and loving it so far.
I made a made dash of finish one book this weekend in time to review today. It’s a terrible review and I didn’t do the book justice. That’s what I get though for waiting until the last minute. I haven’t yet started on my next one yet. I figured it was time to read a few blogs and catch up there. 🙂
I hope you have a great week, Iliana!
I so want the Lesley Kagan book. It was my WOW pick a while back…enjoy them all.
bookworm – If they were all mysteries I’m sure I’d be confusing some of the clues! 🙂
Andi – I can’t even imagine how you are getting any books read with a little one! I hope he’s doing great and just think, a new little bookworm!
Andreea – Unfortunately I sort of want to put aside the book I’ve been focusing on for the most part to get to others but it’s for a book discussion and I hate being the only one not to finish a book you know. Hope your reading is going great. I haven’t had a chance to hop on over to your blog but I will soon!
bookeywookey – How many have you got going on? It’s madness isn’t it? There are just so many tempting books what can we do!
Dorothy W. – Mariana has been very lovely although a bit of a surprise to me as I thought it was only going to be about her adulthood but so far it’s more of her childhood recollections. Not bad just not what I expected.
Anna – Isn’t Rumor Has It fun? I want to dive into that one right now but I’ve got to finish another one first. I can’t wait to read your review!
Literary Feline – I’m sure it’s a great review and undoubtedly something I’ll want to add to my list! 🙂 I need to visit soon to see what it is you read. I was planning to do more blog visiting today but somehow the day just got away from me.
diane – It is really good and I just wish it wasn’t taking me so long to get back to it.
Wow–I am impressed that you can read so many books at once. I am really bad at that!
I’m going to start Rumor Has it next week. It looks good.
Stephanie – I really prefer to keep the stack at 3-4 books. Don’t know what happened to me this time 🙂
Jennifer – It is really cute. I hope you like it!
