Well, it's a new week. What are you working on currently?
I just finished The Group by Mary McCarthy, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams (re-read) and am now working my way through The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.
I need to start A Feast for All Saints by Anne Rice and Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews for the TIP Book Club soon.

I just finished The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Urrea over the weekend. Started Stephen King's Bachman Books on Sunday night--reading The Long Walk right now.
I am reading Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, and To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, by Adam somethingorother, which is a non-fiction book about hawkish and doveish British citizens during WWI.

After I finished Wuthering Heights, I bought and began Perfume: The Story of a Murderer to have something to read while I was stuck Melbourne last weekend and it's a good read so far. I also have Murder on the Eiffel Tower on the go and can't wait to start SuperChef Australia. And I am going to see about ordered Captain Corelli's Mandolin from the library this week.
Finishing up The Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey. I LOVE this series! I can't wait to start #6.
I'm also reading Sarah's Quilt, the follow-up to These is My Words which was one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's about a woman who settles in the west in the 1880s. She's an amazing character and the love story was fantastic. I don't usually go in for love stories but this one was really great.
I just finished The Outsiders (for my challenge). I started Flowers in the Attic and need to hit up the library tomorrow for a copy of The Portable Dorothy Parker (for my challenge).
I just finished the Wilder Life, and I'm almost done with Jane Eyre. I also read The Bell Jar over the weekend.
I've also been inspired to read the little house collection again, so I just started little house in the big woods and am reading it to the kids.
I loved The Wilder Life. I wish Wendy would write more books, or at least blog more. I'm Not the New Me is one of my favorite non-fiction books. And one of my earliest memories if of my mom and I curling up in her rocking chair and her reading me the Little House books, so I love that you're doing that.
I'm about 1/3 of the way through A Great and Terrible Beauty, and not entirely sure how I feel about that. I also have Loving Frank to burn through quickly, because both are due back at the library next week.

Haha I've also been feeling an itch to start the little house books again. I think I'm going to wait till my daughter is a little older and read them to her
I'm currently half way through A Certain Slant of Light and so far I'm really enjoying it. I've also started Inheritance the last of the Eragon series. I started this series so long ago to hold me over waiting for HP and I just want to finish it even though I didn't really care for the third book.

I'm slowly reading Atlas Shrugged and just picked up Frankenstein (in part because I may teach it next year and in part because I saw an awesome theater interpretation of it recently). I'm waiting for some lighter books to come in from the library, so once those hit, I may put down Atlas Shrugged again.
