It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
I was hoping to finish The Sun and Other Stars by Brigid Pasulka this weekend but couldn’t quite manage it… still, it’s a fairly quick read and I’m sure I’ll wrap it up either today or tomorrow! Post coming later this week 🙂 Another book came in the mail for me this past week, though, a pre-ordered gift from Christmas: The Martian by Andy Weir. Since I’m still working on The Sun and Other Stars, and my husband was looking for a new book (he just finished Mary Roach’s Packing for Mars) he started it the other night. I’m looking forward to getting to that one soon!
Other than that, I did realize I need to get going on this month’s book group pick, Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell! We meet next Wednesday, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to read it all in a week. I just didn’t want to skip over The Sun and Other Stars since I got it as an ARC. I read the intro already to Assassination Vacation and thought it was hilarious—this one will be part of my KC Library Winter Reads program.
What are you reading this week?
Ohhh I can’t wait to hear what you think of The Martian! I couldn’t put it down. 🙂
As always I’ll put my thoughts here! I have a couple other books to read before that one (and of course I’ll have to wait for my husband to finish it!) 🙂
The Assassination Vacation sounds like a good read, enjoy!
I liked the intro! I bet it’ll be a lively discussion at book group next week 🙂
