What I'm Currenly Reading

Picture
Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani (Confession: I had never actually heard of Adriana Trigiani before reading everyone's gushing BEA posts about meeting her. I immediately put her novels on my TBR list, and checked one out the next time I went to the library. It only took me until about page 2 until I was hooked. I see what everyone was so excited about!)

My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business by Dick van Dyke (Yep, still listening to this one. It takes me awhile to get through an audiobook. But I'm loving every minute of it!)

What's Coming Up Next Week

Picture
Two-Part Inventions by Lynne Sharon Schwartz
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain (I've heard a lot of good about this one, and I'm looking forward to it!)

Although it sounds like you've already heard this... Quiet was awesome! I hope you like it as much as I did :)

I hope so, too! Introverts (which I'll gladly admit I am) need some recognition. :)

I've been meaning to read Quiet since I first heard about it. I hope I'll find the time one of these days ;) Have a great week!

    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.

    You can contact me at [email protected].
