I feel like I say this every week, but I don’t think I’ll finish anything and if I do, I’ll have to see where my mood takes me.
What are you reading this week?

I like to read tough reviews, sometimes I'll still read a book but its nice to know what someone liked or didn't like going in. Have a good week.
Sometimes books need hard reviews. Every book can't be a 5! Come see what I read last week here. Have a great week!
I'm curious about the GWTW Bestseller's Odyssey…I'll be watching for your review.
Love your new fall background.
Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Boy! You were tough, but that's ok. I need to re-read Dr. Z.
I hope you enjoy your reads this week!

What did you think of The Ocean at the End of the Lane? I adore Neil Gaiman's YA. I've got some harsh reviews to write, not looking forward to that.
Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
I've never read Doctor Zhivago though I have seen the movie (Keira Knightley version). I'm kind of surprised it only got 2 stars! I am not a huge fan of Russian lit so maybe I'd only give it two stars too.
I own The End of Your Life Book Club but I haven't read it yet. Maybe someday…
