My Need to Read (or Finish) Pronto List!

When I find myself a tad overwhelmed by my reading list, it helps for me to see the book covers all in one spot. I keep a spreadsheet to track all of the books that are sent to me and I use it to create a timeline of sorts so I can schedule my reading appropriately. However, nothing seems to work as well as seeing the covers all in one place. So this is what this post is about. This is my visual aid to myself.

Cemetery Dance by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston

I have a handful of pages to finish on this one. I just need to sit down and finish it! I brought it to work today so hopefully this will be crossed off my list by the end of today.

Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe by Jennie Shortridge

I am almost done with this one as well. There’s a lot for me to relate to here so I have been taking my time with it but I hope to be done with this one by this weekend. I have a little surprise planned for later with this one too.

Foreign Tongue by Vanina Marsot

I just started this one. I am planning something special in conjunction with the review and there will be some surprises for this one as well!

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See

I got this one as part of Library Thing’s Early Reviewer program. I am halfway done with this one. I blame the Festival of Books because I was all gung-ho on reading it and then got sidetracked with the event. Had a hard time picking it up again but plan to finish it this weekend.

Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

My friend recommended this one to me ages ago and I haven’t had a chance to read it. I promised him that I would get to it this month so it is on the timeline.

Prayers for Bobby by Leroy Aarons

This is my book club’s pick for June. Haven’t started it yet but I still have some time for this one.

There now. After this weekend I should be caught up. Not too bad, right?

My Rock Star Daughter (Video)

I was watching my daughter rock out the other night and it was cracking me up so I had her do it again for the camera. It’s a little long but the end is so classic. Also, I like the song but I realize that “My Life Would Suck Without You” is probably not an appropriate song for a 5-year-old to dance to but it was what I was listening to when she started to rock out. Don’t send the mommy police after me!

Chatting with friends about books and life…
