What Are You Reading?What Are You Reading: December 06, 2010: 12/05/10

Last week I was completely focused on finishing my term papers. My reading, therefore, was severely curtailed. The books I did read were mostly picture books that I read to my daughter. I also finished up a couple of my text books. The one book I read strictly for fun was the All Action Classics version of The Odyssey.

This week I will hopefully be working on my freelance article writing again. I do, though, have a couple books I want to read: Bite Me by Christopher Moore and Naked Heat by Richard Castle. I should also try to finish Food, Girls, & Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff. It's one of a small pile of ARCs I'm terribly behind on.

Finished Last Week:

  1. Alison's Zinnia by Anita Lobel (library book)
  2. All Action Classics #3: The Odyssey by Homer and Tim Mucci
  3. Information Seeking in Electronic Environments by Gary Marchionini (personal collection)
  4. Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Waking Up? by Bill Martin Jr. (library book)
  5. One Halloween Night by Mark Teague (library book)
  6. Information Seeking in Electronic Environments by Gary Marchionini (personal collection)

You had a fantastic week lask week!

I love Bite Me — it was a fun book. Christopher just has a fantastic sense of humor. Abby has to be one of my fav annoying characters of all time.
