This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
I hope all who celebrated Thanksgiving here in the U.S. had a wonderful time! My family time was great, except for my sister-in-law's big black lab. Turns out my little guy was terrified of him, which is hardly surprising since they're pretty much the same size. That made Thanksgiving a little more interesting!

What I Read Last Week

The Jane Austen Project by Kathleen Flynn (This was a quieter novel than I expected, but really good!)
The Scent of Sake by Joyce Lebra (This was an interesting book, but there was so much distance from the characters that it was hard to feel invested in anything or anyone.)

What I'm Reading Now

North! or Be Eaten by Andrew Peterson (This is such a great book. The title alone should tell you that, right?)
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (83% complete! Almost there!)

I LOVE Andrew Peterson's books. I still have to read the last in that series but I've loved every bit of the series so far.

I'm loving them, too! I just wish they had existed when I was in middle school. I'd probably love them even more!

    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.
