That's a book a day! I don't know how you read so fast.
It sounds like you and your hubby are having a day that's a lot like ours....we were out of bed from 9 to noon, then we got back in (him to watch football, me to read) and have decided to stay there. It's quite nice.
Again, I am amazed at how quickly you read ! It's especially impressive that you are in graduate school at the same time.
I'm envious too, no chance I'll be reading that much! At least there aren't any midterms when it comes to my degree. I'm assessed based on three essays, three exams, and a dissertation (70% of my overall mark). While that puts a lot of pressure into a little bit of examination, I escape the mid-semester crush of five midterms at once!
I've read everything Shreve has written so far, so I'm not sure why I haven't run out to buy her new book yet.
It amazes me how much you read during the week. I'm happy if I can sneak in at least 30 minutes each day to read. Reading two books each week is good (I remember, not so long ago, that I could read 4-5 books a week. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened in awhile... well, the last time it did, I was sick the entire week!)
If only I could read that much....
I just tagged you for a meme: http://aleapopculture.blogspot.com/2008/10/7-random-things-meme.html
Feel free to pass on it if you want :D
Wow - I can't believe how much you read this week! I'm going to check out your review of The Opposite of Love. I read it this summer on vacation.
I imagine you are very happy to have midterms over! You fit in a lot of books this week. I sure am envious. Have a great week!
Wow, you posted some great reviews this week! A lot of the books in your library overlap with mine, I always like to see what you have going on!
Glad those miterms are over Swapna! I can't imagine how much reading you'll get done now with that over. lol.
