This week was a very laid back one for me. I worked and went to class, but I also chose to read a lot rather than do other things. As a result, I managed to read 12 books this week! I was really happy because while I read one YA book and one chick lit novel (fluff), I also read 2 literary fiction novels and 2 non-fiction books! However, that also means I have 12 outstanding reviews I didn’t bother writing last week. Sigh.
Yesterday, I went to the South Asian Literary Festival here in Washington, DC and got the chance to meet authors Ru Freeman and Tania James and see them speak. It was a lot of fun and I’ll be blogging about it at some point in the future, so keep an eye out!
This week, I posted my October monthly review. My Thursday Tunes for the week was the score to the movie Great Expectations.

12 books in one week? I am impressed and in awe!
I bet Ru Freeman was interesting...I'd love to hear her speak.
These covers are such pretty colors. I know it sounds random, but they were all so beautiful and colorful all lined up. :) I will never keep up with you though!
Oh, I really liked "Never Let Me Go," I hope you did too! Come to think of it, I haven't gotten around to reviewing that one either...
Wow that's great reading this week. And it looks like they were good ones too...a plus!
How in the world do you read so much if you work and go to school too?? You're my reading idol, lol!! And you read the same type of books I like to too. I thought The Fiction Class was a cute book. It's the only one I've read out of those.
Wow you consider reading 12 books in one week laid back? I honestly could not find the time to read 12 if I wanted to. They look like great books and many are on my TBR pile. My salon is here: www.rundpinne.com/2009/11/week-could-have-gone-better-sunday.html

I truly don't know how you do it...looking forward to these reviews.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Love in Translation! I am eagerly awaiting its arrival!
I wish I had your fantastic brain! As always, I'm in awe of you.
As always, I am in awe of how much reading you get done. Can't wait to hear what you thought of Commencement!

I'll look forward to reading about the Asian Lit Festival ... I think you had good weather for it (2 years in a row with rain at Natl Book Fest!)
TWELVE books in one week! You'll probably bang out those reviews in an afternoon, Wonder Woman :)
I am eager to read your review of Knit the Season! Get crackin! ha ha.. I can't imagine writing twelve review even in one month. Go girl!!

Wow! 12 books in a week! *sigh*
I'm really looking forward to your review of Never Let Me Go...
What did you think about Karen White's book The Girl on Legare Street? I am reading it right now and so far I enjoy it as much as the first. I am glad she is getting to do a series. I can't wait to read your review on it.
