What I Read Last Week
What I'm Reading Now
The Iliad by Homer (Lots of people die in this book. I guess I didn't realize going in that so much of it was about battles.)
This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving (unless you live outside the U.S. and didn't celebrate Thanksgiving last week. In that case, I hope you had a good week in general!). We had a great time with family, exploring some towns in the area, and spending some relaxing time at home. Back to normal life now! My Recent PostWhat I Read Last WeekIstanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk (Stop #5 for Circumreading the World. It was a beautifully written book. Random facts/review will go up on Friday.) What I'm Reading NowPip Bartlett's Guide to Magical Creatures by Jackson Pearce and Maggie Stiefvater (December selection for the Reading Together Book Club. Join us!) The Iliad by Homer (Lots of people die in this book. I guess I didn't realize going in that so much of it was about battles.) What's Coming Up NextWalking the Bible: A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses by Bruce Feiler (So yeah, this was my "coming up next" selection last week, too. It took longer to read Istanbul than I thought. I'm sure I'll get to this one this week!)

It is fascinating so far. It's a fairly fast read because it's more travel narrative than scholarly work, even though it includes a lot of information. It's a really interesting book!

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.
