First of all, just as a reminder, I'm giving away a copy of The The Richest Season by Maryann McFadden! Deadline to enter is Wednesday, Sept. 24. [review][entry page]

Things have been going well on the reading front. I'm currently reading In the Land of No Right Angles by Daphne Beal, and have really been enjoying it!



Next up is The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran. I am really looking forward to that one, as I am a big fan of ancient Egypt! Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep up this pace of reading - school is getting busier, and since the fall TV season has started, I have a few shows here and there I'm watching. Tonight I'm looking forward to the Emmy awards - I'm planning on curling up with a book while I watch! Otherwise those commercial breaks are WAY too long and often.

Books I've read this week:


Falling Under - Danielle Younge-Ullman [review to come]


How to Be Single: A Novel - Liz Tuccillo [review to come]


Rosewater and Soda Bread - Marsha Mehran [review]


The Professors' Wives' Club - Joanne Rendell [review to come]

Additional reviews posted this week:










Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story - Rachel Kadish [review]









Failure is not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond - Gene Kranz [review]










Sandcastles - Luanne Rice [review]


Cancer Is a Bitch: (Or, I'd Rather Be Having a Midlife Crisis) - Gail Konop Baker [review]

The start up of the TV season has slowed down my reading as well.

I am really looking forward to reading The Heretic Queen. I had the opportunity to read Nefertiti this past summer and I really enjoyed it.

I hope you have a great week!

The Professor's Wives Club sounds like such a good read!

Wow, you've had a really busy reading week! I forgot all about the Emmys tonight, but then I've been trying to stay away from TV as much as possible - more time for books.
