Friday once
again! I am travelling home this week so I won’t be doing that much reading
over the weekend even though I spent the whole of yesterday going through all
the books in my childhood home and sorting them into Keep, Donate, and Recycle
piles (don’t hate me for the latter, it was mostly old notebooks). Mainly I’ll
be working on finishing up a short story collection edited by Stephanie
Perkins. It’s called Summer Days &
Summer Nights and it’s the summer equivalent for My True Love Gave To Me. I am almost done with it and as always
with story collections, it had its hits and misses, but this time it was mostly
4-5 star stories. There was diversity, there was sadness, and there is, of
course, romance. In addition to that, I am planning on leafing through Audrey
Niffenegger’s The Night Bookmobile,
which is a graphic novel. I might do a reread of Where the Heart Is if I feel like it, or then just move on to a
non-fiction book. Brain on Fire: My Month
of Madness is a memoir/medical mystery by Susannah Cahalan. I’ve heard only
good things so can’t wait. I am also still working on How Not to Fall by Emily Foster and I’m enjoying it very much.
That’s it! What about you, internet people :)?

Well I am
at one of those moments where I am still reading some of my books from last
weekend so I am not starting many new ones. I am about to finish up Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey and
will be moving onto the next book in the series, Caliban’s War. Sci-fi space operas like these capture my nerdy heart
and I am so in love with this series right now. I am also in the middle of Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, the
graphic novel about growing up in Tehran during the Islamic revolution, which I
started last Sunday. I plan on starting My
Girl by Jack Jordan, which we are reviewing for the book’s blog tour (the
book is set to be released July 4th). It is a psychological thriller
about a mother trying to unearth the secrets of her late husband and how they
might relate to her daughter’s death. That is about it for me this weekend. The
weather is supposed to be beautiful in NYC and I hope to get a lot of outdoor
reading done (as well as some indoor video game playing). I hope you all have
some outdoor reading plans too and we would love to hear what they are!
