Week in Review (12)

Random Thoughts

I haven't been worrying about finishing anything this week. I have been moody lately, so I am just picking away at books slowly. This week I will concentrate on finishing a few of them so they are not all in progress for April. I have been switching back and forth between non-fiction books. For the Once Upon a Time challenge I am reading The Return of the Shadow by J.R.R. Tolkien. It shows the progression of The Fellowship of the Ring. Then, I am still reading Troublesome Young Men by Lynne Olson. I am almost done, though. I just stopped for a bit. Then, I am reading two short story collections that will work for the Once Upon a Time challenge: Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint and terribly twisted tales, which is an anthology with lots of different authors in it. I also have novels on the go, but I have been sticking to the others mostly this week.

Challenge News

I signed up for the Once Upon a Time V challenge this week. I read book 2 in the Horatio Lyle series for it. Fun series!

  1. You weren't worrying about finishing anything, and yet you still finished two books. Yeah, that's not much for you, but that would make for a great week for me! :P
