What are you doing on this fine May day?
I got back from the Darien Lake Theme Park yesterday (used to be a Six Flags). I'm just laying around reading 2666 before I start my 2666 post. I remember you mentioned that you had read the first book. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the second!
ReplyDeleteI have the book Love in the Time of Cholera on Mt. TBR and the movie in my Netflix queue for when I finished the book (if ever!)
ReplyDeleteAs to what I'm doing this fine May (now June) day, I'm letting you know you've got at award to pick up In the Shadow of Mt. TBR :-D
I've had The Snow Geese in my stacks for ages. I'm glad to see that you rated it quite highly.
ReplyDeleteAs for what I'm doing... I need to get back to packing up all these books of mine. Moving day is approaching quickly.
Great week, Sandra! You always read and review the best books!
