I am writing this update right around 5:00pm but as I understand it, posts are taking a long time to hit Google reader today so you may not see this until several hours later. Oh well, what can ya do?
I have been reading The Danish Girl for the past couple of hours and it’s an interesting read but it feels rather naughty. It’s strange and uncomfortable but compelling at the same time. It’s my pick for book club and I think there is going to be plenty to discuss. However, right now I am going to take a break and try Skeleton Creek. Patrick Carman initially offered to send me an ARC but I never received it so he was nice enough to send another copy.
On a food note the spaghetti sauce is cooking away and the natives are getting restless so I am going to read a bit, have dinner and then pick up again once the kids are in bed. Thanks for the comments and a special thanks for the cheer/comment that I received from Softdrink.
Good idea to take a break from a strange book!
I have the same problem – frighteningly frequently I don't receive an ARC and I sometimes feel like the author or publisher doesn't believe me, like maybe I just want to accumulate them and sell them or something!
I'm glad you got another at any rate! Good luck on your post-prandial readathon activity!
So are you eating whole wheat pasta with that sauce? 😉

Readers are really great!
Yeah for you Ti! What a great way to spend a weekend. Me? I am cooking birthday dinner for husband, been out present shopping for him, and need to get packing for our little trip. I will have lots of time to read over the next 4 days though. I was looking at the cover of Danish Girl, and it look naughty/strange! 🙂
Happy reading–you go girl!

Yes Jill!I had it with whole wheat pasta! I wouldn't have it any other way.
Skeleton Creek looks really intriguing – can't wait to see what you think of it.
