It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Oh so close, you guys! I just about finished reading Moloka’i by Alan Brennert. I have about 50 pages to go… I really wanted to finish this weekend but had a ton of other “real life” things to catch up on, like oh you know, house work and errands. Sigh! Anyway, I’m enjoying it a lot and each page goes by quickly when I actually have the time to read, so I’m sure I’ll finish today or tomorrow. Review post coming later this week!
After that, I plan to start The Sun and Other Stars by Brigid Pasulka. I won an ARC Goodreads giveaway of this and I’m excited to start it! The cover alone gives me good vibes, dreaming of an Italian vacation, and I know it probably has nothing to do with Jess Walter’s Beautiful Ruins but the cover photo on The Sun and Other Stars sure looks a lot like Manarola, the same town used for the cover of Walter’s book. If my copy of Beautiful Ruins wasn’t in storage I would have to do a side-by-side comparison! Night vs. day, different angles of the shots, etc. I also read a stellar review by Jennifer at the Relentless Reader, and she has me convinced 🙂
What are you reading this week?
my little heart melodies 
I hope you enjoy The Sun and Other Stars. Have a great reading week!
Thanks! Can’t wait to get started… although after I wrote up this post I realize now that I pretty much only have Wednesday evening free after work! Sigh, some (most) weeks are like that, aren’t they? 😉
Oh good! Today I am reading A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian and The Rosie Project!
History of Tractors! The farmer’s granddaughter in me is intrigued 😉
Oh my gosh, it’s nothing like you would think. It’s so good! So basically this like 80 year old dad marries a 36 yo slutty-ish Ukrainian so that she can become an American citizen and the dad’s 2 daughters (who argue all the time) have to work together to help their dad not make horrible decisions. It’s really good so far.
Oh and it’s a 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die book, too, so that helps! It’s like a modern classic.
