I'm working on the Mystery Read-A-Thon which ends today, and tackling a book I've been meaning to read, Pilikia is My Business by Mark Troy, a mystery set in Hawaii. I've finished reading another mystery, Knit, Purl, Die by Anne Canadeo.
I'm also working on finishing a travel memoir by Oreste leRoy Salerni, The Youngest Son: Memoirs from the Motherland, a personal account of a professor on sabbatical in Tuscany for six months in 2003-2004. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Makes me want to see the parts of Italy I missed on a trip I took years ago after college! I visited Florence and Pisa in Tuscany, but haven't seen Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the picturesque Amalfi Coast, or Venice - places visited in this book.
This past week, I reviewed and posted a giveaway of The Last Surgeon and an interview with author Christina Sunley, reviewed the cozy mystery, Truly, Madly, and shared a Japanese woodblock print and Chinese classical music on the blog.
I realize now I was somewhat busy this past week although I had promised I would slow down in the blogging area! But since I love doing it, there's no stopping :)
What have you posted on your blog this past week?
Hope you are enjoying the Read-a-Thon. It's been fun for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had a really busy reading week. I hope your readathon is going well.
ReplyDeleteReally like your Asian print and music post!
ReplyDeleteI hope your Read a thon is going well. I've never read Knit, Purl, Die but I'm going to check it out. I love anything to do with knitting. I always say to myself that I'm going to spend less time blogging but that never seems to happen. lol. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing so well with the mystery readathon. I definitely want to participate next year. Two days of mystery books sounds like heaven :)
ReplyDeleteI completely understand about how hard it is to slow down with the blogging! :) I tell myself I'm going to do that, and although it's taken me about a year to find a good balance, there are times that I can still get obsessive about it.
ReplyDeleteThe blogging seems to consume me at times, but today I'm devoting to reading. I got behind last week!
ReplyDeleteYour reading sounds good.
