Re: SAHM Book Club- Weekly Check-in
LBR: The HoursI finished The Hours which was great and now I'm reading Woolfs biography written by her nephew. In The Hours there is an "Afterward" where the author mentions this particular biography as being especially neutral. By chance I happened to have picked it up at a book sale earlier this year.It's fascinating to read a bio on someone like Woolf. She's one of my favorites- pretty much any early woman writer makes that list- and I will be sad when I finish this. She, although privileged in material aspects, struggled immensely in mind.
jnksmom: 30/40 CR: "5 Love Languages" LBR: "Learning"
I also read Leaving which was the first book of a series and Learning was the second book. I put One Tuesday Morning away because I had the other 2 on reserve at the library and they came available.
27/50
CR: Freakonomics
LBR: The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum
I finished The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. The series was okay but I didn't love it. I also read The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons (really good!) and Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicholson #1) by Louise Rennison (cute, fluffy YA read). I'm still working on Griftopia and I started Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward (I loved Lutz's Spellman series but this book isn't that great but it includes the authors' notes to each other- they alternated writing chapters- and those are really entertaining!).

LBR- The Unquiet
CR- The New Strong-Willed Child by Dr. James Dobson
fishstyx 22/50 CR: Delirium LBR: Shanghai Girls
Shanghai Girls was just 'meh' IMO and I wouldn't recommend it.
Delirium is starting out to be a fun YA read.
