What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I have not had time to do much reading lately, but I am trying to make time for it. I am currently reading Between Heaven and Mirth, by James Martin.

I finished The Unvanquished, very interesting book. Up next is The Roads We Follow by Nicole Deese.

What a great book title! Sounds interesting.

I'm reading "Style for Everybody" by Kim Appelt. It isn't the kind of book I would usually read, but I heard her do a long radio interview and it made me curious about the book. I want to prioritize having only things that I like, that fit, and that look good on me in my closet, so if I actually make an effort to apply the book's wisdom, I think I'll be closer at least. :D

I finished All The Roads We Follow, very good. Up next for me is Double the Lies by Patricia Raybon, it is the second Annalee Spain mystery.

I'm starting "Moon Over Tokyo" by Siri Mitchell. I've really been enjoying re-reading through her older books and this is one of my favourites. I kept thinking about it as I was reading "Kissing Adrien," so I knew this had to be my next read.
