The Weekly Book Report 2/28 - 3/4/11


So.  Things are getting really hectic and I could not even do a Follow Friday post this week!  Really sorry about that.  But because I scheduled enough posts to last me a year (okay, that's an exaggeration - a week), I was able to make it through the whole week without this blog looking to 'dead.'  And looking back in the week, I realized I still did a good enough job because you obviously enjoyed most of the posts I put up (ARGH is smirking).  So why don't I take you back on the week that was and enjoy the stuff that was meant to make you really really happy?

My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares
The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve

The Culprit
Nina is busy reading. When she's not too busy with her books, she works as a nurse and gets hit by little boys and girls that she poked with a needle. Her hobbies include reading, sharing great reads with her mother/brother/boyfriend/friends, and practicing how to dodge children's fists.

    I have been eyeing this on bookstores for the longest time but I never got the chance to pick up a copy because I still have a lot of books on my list. It was really great that while searching for books, The Boyfriend found a copy of this one on sale and remembered that I wanted this!

    I love The Angel's Game. But I think The Shadow of the Winds is better. Have you read it?

    Sally: I loved My Name is Memory, and I'm really looking forward to read The Angel's Game, so excited!

    Kelsa: Looks like someone's having trouble moving on :D

I just have to tell you, ARGH feeds on awesomeness, so if you can, drop him some awesome here, and I promise to give some awesome back :D

Right now, because of my really busy schedule, I'm cutting back on receiving awards. So until further notice, me and ARGH would not be accepting awards. But thank you for thinking of us, we really appreciate it!
