Booking Through Thursday


Some people read one book at a time. Some people have a number of them on the go at any given time, perhaps a reading in bed book, a breakfast table book, a bathroom book, and so on, which leads me to…

Are you currently reading more than one book?
If so, how many books are you currently reading?
Is this normal for you?
Where do you keep your current reads?

I’m currently reading two books, with a bookmark in a third where I’ve gotten stuck. The first two books are: The Crimes of Paris, by Thomas and Dorothy Hoobler; and What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew, by Daniel Pool. The book where I’m stuck is Iain Pears’s Stone’s Fall. Reading several books at once is normal for me, abut haf the time—usually, I try to stick with one book. My current reads are in several places; Stone’s Fall and the Daniel Pool are on my bedside table, The Crimes of Paris is sitting next to me on the couch, though usually, like most “currently reading” books, it’s in my handbag (I never like to go anywhere without a book in my bag, in case I get stuck waiting somewhere).

Oh no! I have Stone's Fall too and it's huge. I've been hoping that it was a riveting read. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what I think of it. Good luck finishing the rest!
It's always one at a time for me. I am usually too absorbed in one to pick up another till I'm done.

I always carry a book in my bag, even if just to pop it while going up or down the elevator, to me it's worth it :)
i read 1 book at time because I tried 2 books and ended up confused.. but I'm planning on doing it again and trying different genres so I could avoid confusion :)

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars...

Review: The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee

The Piano Teacher is a complicated novel. On the surface, it’s about a love affair between two British ex-patriots in Hong Kong in 1952-3. Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong with her husband Martin at a time when the world is still recovering from WWII; Claire takes up work as a piano teacher for the daughter of a wealthy Chinese family, where she meets Will Truesdale, the Chens’ enigmatic chauffeur. The book jumps back in time between the 1950s and the beginning of WWII, when Will is interned in Stanley, a Hong Kong camp for enemies of Japan. On “the outside” is Tudy Liang, Will’s beautiful Eurasian lover. There’s no doubt that Lee’s writing is beautiful. But there’s something lacking in this short, terse novel that I can’t quite put my finger on. First, I think it’s the tenses she uses when taking about each story: that which is set in the 1950s is in the past tense, while the war scenes are talked about in the present tense (confusing, no?) The interpersonal relationships of the m...
