Week in Review (29)

Random Thoughts

In non-bookish updates, I had a very long weekend! I am rather tired, but I didn't want to fall behind any more than I had to with things. I find these posts beneficial down the road. I am disappointed I missed yesterday because I had a Six Sentence Saturday planned. I didn't have it entirely done and then it was a thunderstorm when I actually would have had a chance to post it. One of these days I will begin to catch-up! There are so many books I want to talk about.

Challenge News

I read Under the Eagle by Simon Scarrow for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.

  5. I read The Translator a few years back and found it to be a very moving and interesting read. I hope you get the chance to read it before it has to go back to the library.
