I was very busy this week, but I don’t really know why!  I had a lot going on at work, and the normal amount going on at school – I just felt like I was really stressed this week, yet when I reflect on what I did and what I had going on, I can’t really think of anything out of the ordinary.  It’s frustrating because I know I was very busy, yet I can’t begin to tell you what I was doing and why I got so little done.

This week, I finally posted an intro/FAQ and sign-ups for the South Asian Author Challenge that I’ve been teasing for so long.  I hope you’ll consider joining – the smallest participation level is just 3 books over the entire year.

This week, I joined a lot of 2010 challenges – the South Asian Author Challenge, the A to Z Challenge, the YA Challenge, the 20/10 Challenge, the Library Challenge, and the 100+ Challenge – and I’m still thinking of doing more!  Though I did a lot of challenges in 2009, I think 2010 is really going to be a challenge year for me.  I also completed a few challenges this week.

My Thursday Tunes for this week was Counting Crows.

Books I’ve read this week:


The Gift – Cecelia Ahern


The Paris Vendetta – Steve Berry


The Christmas Cookie Club – Ann Pearlman


Turning Tables – Heather & Rose MacDowell


The Oracle – William J. Broad


The Help – Kathryn Stockett


Shiver – Maggie Stiefvater


Gorgeous East – Robert Girardi

 

Other reviews posted this week:


Valeria’s Last Stand – Marc Fitten


The Secret of Joy – Melissa Senate


The Magicians – Lev Grossman


What the Dog Saw – Malcolm Gladwell


Commencement – J. Courtney Sullivan


I’ll Scream Later – Marlee Matlin


America’s Prophet – Bruce Feiler
