It's Tuesday and time to share where reading is taking us in our travels around the world. I wish I was down south enjoying the southern hospitality but I'll have to settle for the Southern Reading Challenge which gets started May 15th and runs til August 15th, through the dog days of summer. It's the third year Maggie has hosted this challenge, and I haven't begun to run out of books; on the contrary, every year I find new authors and old southern classics I want to read.
Don't forget to add your suggestions to the latest Bookwords Game. We are looking for a word for a book you read after you see the movie. Don't be shy, come on by!
In reading, I am in Sterling, New Hampshire before and after a school shooting. Pretty harrowing, and the town is simply devastated. (Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult)
Where is reading taking you today? Leave a comment, write a post, spread the word.
I am a little split at the moment. One of the main characters is in Sweden and the other seems to be spending a lot of time travelling around. Currently she is in the Carribean, and I suspect that she is about to get into really big trouble! (The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson)

Im in England at Pemberley. The book is "Darcy And Anne" by Judith Brocklehurst. I feel like Jane Austen is writing this sequel. Brocklehurst's voice is so much like Jane Austen's in "Pride and Prejudice."
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the place this week!
