I have not been able to settle down to just one book. This may be a measure of new stresses at work - new office, new manager, new processes, but, whatever the reason, I have a BUNCH of books going at once!Les Misérables
The Angel's Game
Sit, Stay, Slay
Murder in the White House
The Art of War
snow day here today so i'm being a bum ;)hoping to finish up Bite Me If You Can (for the vampire task), Baby, Come Home (book 1 in sassafrass's task) and make a dent in a few others
@Dee: I love bummy snow days!I finished up Guilty Pleasures and am about 2/3 of the way through Someone Else's Love Story
I have three or four books on hold at the library that are all coming available at the same time.....ugh! So hard to know which one to read first. I am one-book-at-a-time kind of gal. Can't have more than one going at a time.
I keep being told to expect snow on the news, and every day it keeps being pushed off. Even the freezing rain. It's been a week now. I am happy and jealous of you Dee.
I finished "Cloaked" and starting "Obasan"
our snow day was a fizzle...I didn't even get an inch...and then it was freezing rain :( but I got a chunk of reading done - I think like finished 4 books I had in progress (of course, then i didn't much read this week and I had to try and make up hours so I didn't have to take leave)
Finished "obasan" and going to start "The Christmas Note".

Been digging through boxes of books that I bought throughout the years from the Big Bad Wolf Booksale. :DWorking on
.I kept putting off reading this book for years. The SRC was a good excuse to finally yank it out of the box. :D
A Christmas Wish by Joseph Pittman
Comfort & Joy was kind of ridiculous, but a short read. Now I'm reading Mortal Fear which is pretty good so far!
Do to the library wanting their book back, I'm starting
I've enjoyed the other two in the series. But this particular dystopian world terrifies me. The laws put into place in the first book sound too real. I want to read it, and don't want to pick it up. And to lighten things up
Finished "There's Something About Christmas" and starting "Miracle on 34th Street".
I've got about 1/2 hour to go until 2014. I'm starting off the New Year with The Mists of Avalon on my iPod and Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories by Alice Munro on my Kindle.
I finished "Miracle on 34th St and started "Two Tickets To The Christmas Ball"
Finished "A Christmas Wish" by Joseph Pittman. Starting an indie novel to review and "The Ghost Bride" by Yangsze Choo.

The laws put into p..."i'm the same way about the Unwind series Deborah, but at the same time, I love that his world is so much more likely than many of the other dystopia today - which go too far, since this one is just focusing on a small law
Dee wrote: " I love that his world is so much more likely than many of the other dystopia today My whole reason for hedging on picking it up:) I have done so and am 100 pages in. I have two more days. Onward!

I left my book I was reading in my bowling bag, which is at my mom's house so I have to start another book. Skipping Christmas: Christmas with The Kranks.
For my weekend reading, I chose Red April, which I finished just past midnight, and Burial Rites, which I started this morning and hope to finish tonight. After that I'll return to the second half of The Mists of Avalon, which I started at midnight New Year's Eve and should finish this week.
