What I'm Reading Now

Picture
The Iron Whim: A Fragmented History of Typewriting by Darren Wershler-Henry (This book is not exactly what I was expecting, to say the least. There are some chapters that are very interesting, and some that are downright weird.)

What's Coming Up Next

Austenland by Shannon Hale
And then probably something else off my Classics Club list, though I haven't decided what yet. I'll have to wait and see what sounds good! Any suggestions?

I've not read Austenland myself but I've heard positive things about the book.
Happy Reading!
P.S. I only just discovered your blog but I love the title and reasoning behind it!

I just finished Austenland this evening - it's a quick read, and certainly enjoyable. Thanks for visiting! I hope you come back soon! :)

A book on typewriting being described as weird totally catches my interest! ;)

Depends what kind of weird you like. :) Unfortunately, this wasn't my kind of weird, but I'm sure other people would enjoy his take on typewriting in culture!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
