It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride, right? Last week I was wishing (or hoping) that back to school would mean more reading and reviewing time for me. Well, that didn't happen but at least the number of books still to be reviewed didn't get any longer! This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

Books I completed this week are:

Sex, Drugs and Gelfilte Fish edited by Shana Leibman
Daughter of the Queen of Sheba by Jackie Lyden
The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter by Holly Robinson
What We Have by Amy Boesky

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
Great Lakes Nature by Mary Blocksma (this is going to take me all year as I read her year's entries on the corresponding days of this year)
Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese
Chronicles of a Midlife Crisis by Robyn Harding
Half Empty by David Rakoff

I have had to disable the anonymous comment option to cut down on the spam and I apologize to those of you for whom this makes commenting a chore. I hope you'll still opt to leave me your thoughts. I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
