It has been a while since I've asked where reading is taking you. It'd be great if everyone played along, and shared where they are in reading (and in real life if you like). How has everyone been?
In reading, I am in the small English village of Cranford, where the ladies are keeping track of everything. (Cranford, Elizabeth Gaskell)
I also am somewhere in the midwest, where a car has just run off the road, somewhere near Colorado. I'm a little disoriented right now, so we'll see where this book goes. (Bound, Antonya Nelson)
Where is reading taking you today? Leave a comment, write a post, spread the word.
I'm in nostalgic tvland with the Mouseketeers - reading Why? Because We Still Like You by Jennifer Armstrong.
ReplyDeleteWell, irl I'm just down the road in PEI :) In reading, I'm in Boston at the moment with James Lord's My Queer War. On the blog though I'm visiting Ghana!
ReplyDeleteI'm in BC, dating the son of my best friend from the Yukon. (Song Over Quiet Lake)

arcona (mom) - what do you think so far? Lots of characters in that book.

jenclair- sounds exciting!
I'm in Ohio with some runaway slaves and ghosts.

That's so funny, I am also reading a book by Elizabeth Gaskell. I am not in Cranford, but in the small town of Hollingford, where Molly Gibson and her family live. (Wives and Daughters)
ReplyDeleteI've not read these novels, but I loved the mini-series on PBS last Winter. I'd go there any day!
