ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to see writing posts is getting harder for you.
I'm sorry to hear that it's getting harder for you to write posts. It looks like you're doing a huge amount of reading. I haven't heard of the Book Reading Challenge before now, so I think I'll check it out. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow--what great tips! I'm in the market for a new book, so you gave me some great tips. Thank you!
ReplyDeletethat's a cross-continent reading.
ReplyDeleteYou've read some great books...I love how you incorporate so many genres and challenges with your choices.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of those books you have there by Indian authors. I need to check them out. I love finding new-to-me Indian writers!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge amount of reading, to me anyway, who's given up literature for Lent. ;) I'm dying to read Taroka Gorge, even have a copy from BookMooch, so perhaps for the Japanese Literature Challenge 5 which will begin this June. I'm envious (in a good way) of all you've read this month.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you read and enjoyed "The Mater With Morris" and am wondering if you've also read Bergen's "The Time in Between"? It is currently sitting on my nightstand and the one I was thinking of starting with for CBC5 in a few weeks ...
