given that my last book-tagged post was last January, this post should be long
but it's not
Many of the library books that I've checked out, I've forgotten.
Books in the "finished" pile
The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries by Marilyn Johnson
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Pete & Pickles by Berkeley Breathed
Books by the bed
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Called Out of Darkness: a Spiritual Confession by Anne Rice
(yuck - it's going back to the library and I'm only in Chapter 2)
The Ten-Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer
(I picked it up because she wrote The Wife, my purse book for about a year.)
Expecting Adam by Martha Beck
(I got it in Virginia, because I finished my knitting, and wanted something to read on the plane. So far, I love it.)
Book sadly returned to the library due to short check-out time and long hold list:
The Oxford project / photographs by Peter Feldstein ; text by Stephen G. Bloom
Book quickly returned to the library due terrible writing
The Unlikely Lavender Queen : a Memoir of Unexpected Blossoming by Jeannie Ralston
