What Are You Reading: November 29, 2010: 11/29/10
It's Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
This week I mostly read and reviewed library books but my current reads are mostly from my personal collection. I'm not reading as many as I am working on finishing two term papers. The large list of finished books is due mostly to traveling for Thanksgiving. I had time to read in the car and I took along a bunch of books I had almost finished reading. I didn't read them all they way through from start to finish. Some of them only had a chapter or two to finish.

Despite your paper writing, you have a great reading week. I've been wanting to read The Zookeeper's Wife.

Most of these books I've been reading in little pieces for weeks. I just happened to finish them all this week. I really liked The Zookeeper's Wife but some have problems with its tendency towards lists.

Most of the books were nearly complete after weeks of reading them slowly.

I need to focus on Food, Girls and Other Things I Can't Have. I've been reading mostly picture books while I write my papers. I'll be done with them by Tuesday of next week.

Ever since I saw Stardust I've wanted to actually read the book, it looks so good and the book is always better.
Have a fabulous reading week and thank you so much for stopping by earlier!

Stardust is excellent in all the forms I've seen and read. It started as a four part graphic novel but I haven't seen that version yet. I'm not going to say which is the best version because they are all adapted to their media. There's a great interview with Gaiman about the various versions at the end of the audio book (disc six).

I've heard good things about Stardust but I haven't read it. Actually I haven't read any books by Neil Gaiman but hope to soon. Happy reading!

Gaiman has written for so many different audiences you're bound to find something you like.
