I was supposed to meet up with friends this weekend but all three of my dates got cancelled so that was a bummer but that meant that I had a chance to catch up on a bit of reading.

I read a bit more of Don Quixote and am now up to page 98. So now Sancho Panza has been introduced and I’ve read of the fight with the windmills and the burning of the books. These are all things I already knew about so I cannot even imagine what is ahead of me in the book. Many more pages to go!

I did finish The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and wow was I blown away by the big reveal. I had no clue who the culprit was. I will have a review later on but if you like mysteries don’t miss this one.

The latest edition of BookForum arrived in my mailbox on Saturday and even though I have another older edition still waiting to be read I started in on this one because they had a good article on books to film. Click here to see what some of the critics chose as the best adaptations.

Oh and I didn’t make it to the library after all but I’ll try to get out there this week and see what’s on the new bookshelf. Hope everyone has a great start to the week.

I’m finally getting around to doing a meme I was tagged on by Gentle Reader and Adrienne. This is a quick one and perfect as I’ve started a new book. I know, I should finish the books I already have in progress but I got an Advance Review Copy fo Ann Brashares latest novel, The Last Summer (of You & Me) and I couldn’t resist.

This is an easy meme: “You simply have to grab the book nearest to you (no cheating here), turn to page 161, and post the text of the fifth full sentence on the page along with the body of the instruction on your blog. Then you tag 3 people.”

“He’d planned to leave for New York on Monday afternoon.”

I’ve seen this meme make the rounds so I’m not sure who hasn’t been tagged already. If you haven’t done it then now’s your chance and consider yourself tagged.

It’s time to start enjoying the weekend!
