This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
Michigan weather cannot make up its mind, but I suppose that's nothing new. After a week of beautiful spring temperatures, we are back to cold and wind and snow. The poor daffodils and tulips are already coming up, so I hope they don't get frozen! I got spoiled for those few warm days - finally able to get out of the house and go for a walk again! Now that we're cooped up back inside, I'm getting a bit of cabin fever. Time for spring to come and stay!

What I Read Last Week

Westmark by Lloyd Alexander (I love Alexander, but I hadn't read this book of his before. I enjoyed it.)
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (Finished this one up on Friday. What a fun adventure!)
Crossworld: One Man's Journey into America's Crossword Obsession by Marc Romano (An interesting read for anyone who enjoys doing crosswords, even occasionally.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Choir Immortal by Katie Schuermann (I borrowed this one from my mom about a year ago. I figure it's probably time I should read it.)
Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (I just started this one on the Serial Reader app yesterday.)

What's Coming Up Next

I don't know, and that's a pretty wonderful feeling! I have all of the books I own to select from, and there's so many that I'm dying to read that I don't know how I'll ever choose. But I'm so excited to scour my shelves and see what jumps into my hands!

That the fun of living in Michigan. Some weeks you get every season's weather. I've enjoyed getting out to walk more this winter than in year's past. Have a great week.

That pretty much sums it up. Michigan weather is never boring, is it? :)

Have fun picking from your shelves... I returned a pile of library books yesterday...but then came home with another stack! Lol

That's usually how it goes! Has anyone studied the addictive power of library books? Because it takes some serious willpower to limit how many you come home with! :)

    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.
