It's Monday! What are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Share what you (are, have been, are about to, hope to be) reading or reviewing this week. Sign Mr Linky at Book Journey and visit other Monday reading roundups.

The sections of this template:


Intro (here)

My Week (or two) in Review (list of books finished and links to bookish posts in the previous week or two)
Reading Now (my current reading list broken up into NF and Fiction)
Upcoming (scheduled reviews and blog tours and list of finished books awaiting reviews)
Recently (links to bookish posts in the last few weeks)
New Arrivals: (lists of recently acquired ARC broken up into snail mail, email and Net Gallery)
ARC in waiting (a list that is getting shamefully long)

Note:  I'm beginning to implement a new scheme for indicating the source and the format of the books I list but I can't afford the time to do the whole list all at once.  They follow the authors name and look like this: --ARC -- EBOOK; -- OWN -- TREE; --LIBRARY -- AUDIO

Flannery O'Connor
Mystery and Manners:
Occasional Prose
My main focus continues to be the rewrite of my short story Blow Me a Candy Kiss. But I also keep snatching those those snippets of found time for reading, advancing bookmarks in several this week, starting a novel and finishing one.  It's amazing how much reading time you total by end of day when you accumulate in packets of 3, 5, 15 minutes.

Responsible for this are the routines suggested by my husband in our coaching sessions which have at least tripled the amount of time I spend reading over what it was a year ago.  The habit of reaching for the treebook on my desk, the ebook tab on my start menu, or the ebooks on my smartphone and tablet has created a feedback loop for reading is the kind of thing that the more you do the more you want to do.

Now if only I can get the same results for book reviews!


Finished this week:


Started this week:




  • Rough Draft by Michael Robertson Jr. and Dan Dawkins -- OWN -- EBOOK 
Advanced Bookmarks:


The Book of Heaven
by Patricia Storace
The Book of Heaven, by Patricia Storace.  I was just loving it.  But I didn't finish before it had to go back to the library Saturday.  Wish it was digital-- text or audio.  Or at least large print. The fonts in regular tree books wear me out too soon anymore.

Myth and legend. is one of my pet themes for both fiction and non-fiction and Patricia Storace who is a poet has here written a novel that is a retelling of old, familiar stories with the POV shifted from the male to the female and this reimagining has put several new twists on them.

The language is lyrical and needs to be savored as one would expect from a poet.  I think I'm going to need my own copy of this one someday as I don't think I can get everything out of it on a first read thru.

Rough Draft by Michael Robertson Jr. and Dan Dawkins -- OWN -- EBOOK

Reading Now (Some Intermittently):

__Non-Fiction:

Most of these I plug away in at a snail's pace--a couple pages or chapters per week or even every other week as that is my preferred way to read non-fic.  It sticks with me longer. I'm closing in on the finish line for several but as I get close on one I tend to add two or three more. There are some not listed here because I read in them so infrequently.

This is getting to be too much even for me. So a few weeks ago I decided to prioritize five and grey out the rest and add one back for every one I finish.  

The top two are elevated above the 5 because they are commitments with different parameters--AWAI will be swapped out with the next installment 12 times and Hospice Voices, the current evening read-aloud, will take between two and three months to finish.
Feb 23 -- Will be keeping library books separate between the priority 5+2 and the inactive section showing as active when checked out and inactive when returned unfinished.

My AWAI Copywriting course Installment 1 (of 13)  -- OWN -- EBOOK
Hospice Voices: Lessons for Living at the End of Life
by Eric Lindner  --  ARC -- TREE  January 29 blog tour (February 10 have started over, reading aloud to Mom)

It's Not About You by Max Lucado. -- OWN -- TREE   I found this on my own shelves while packing up my personal library.  It was one of the last gifts I received from my Dad in 2005 the year he died of cancer.  Spent time with this during the read-a-thon and nearly finished it.
This Mobius Strip of Ifs by Mathias Freese --  ARC -- TREE (I've posted a reading journal post for this collection of personal essays also.  It is past time for another.) Spent time with this during the thon and am closing in on the finish.
The Fiction Writer's Handbook by Shelly Lowenkopf -- ARC -- EBOOK --   ROW80 reading list  posted review for blog tour in March 2013  but still not finished.  It's more of a reference book than a read straight thru book.  It's digital and arranged alphabetical like a dictionary with every article referenced inside another linked so you can follow a related thread.
What to Do When There's Too Much to Do by Laura Stack -- OWN -- EBOOK (Part of my attempt to organize my life around my priorities. So part of my ROW80 reading list)
Complexity and the Arrow of Time by (multiple authors) -- ARC -- EBOOK -- a collaboration of scientists, philosophers and theologians exploring the concepts of Complexity Theory. Was a NetGalley ARC.  Spent time with this during the thon Saturday (April 26) but had to restart it as I got interrupted at the start of NaNo last fall.  Of course the Net Galley timed out but in November I was contacted by the publisher asking about my review and I explained I'd lost the Net Galley copy so they sent me a PDF that won't timeout.  I'm really finding it interesting.  It is one of my topics of interest in what I think of as the junction where science, philosophy and spirituality meet.  I didn't spend much time with it after receiving another ARC last fall because I've not bein able to keep good focus on books of that difficulty level since my mood disorder went into the chaos realm a couple years ago.  It is a mark of hope that I'm now reading books at the college and college grad level and comprehending and enjoying them again.  Happy Dance!!!

~Library Books (returned 5/10)
Stranger Magic: Charmed States and the Arabian Nights
by Marina Warner -- LIBRARY -- TREE --  have had it out of the library for the third time in a year and it had to go back Saturday.  far from finished so will want it back.  actually I want it on my own reference shelf so may have to buy it.  besides I think it would help to have it in ebook.  The print is just so small my eyes tire too fast.  Frustrating.

___Blog Tours:


___Books I've Finished Awaiting Reviews (non blog tours):

Whenever I'm not pinned to a date like with the blog tours I do very poorly at getting reviews written in a timely way after finishing books and the longer I wait the harder it gets.  This is an issue I'm working on and hope to get a system in place to smooth the track from beginning book to posting review.

Jan Karon's Mitford series. 
The short lighthearted chapters of these books are almost like stand-alone short stories with beloved characters and make great bedtime reading for adults wanting pleasant dreams.  

I was reading them aloud to my Mom during my visits here for nearly two years and I decided some time back to wait until we finished them all and do one review for the entire series.  We began the first one spring of 2012 but had not finished before I went home after my November visit.  My sister had taken over in December and had finished book 1 and started book 2.  As soon as I caught up to where they were last January (2013) I took over mid book 2.  

Feb 10 2014: We just finished the last one, In the Company of Others, 
  • At Home in Mitford 
  • A Light in the Window by Jan Karon  
  • These High, Green Hills by Jan Karon  .
  • Out to Caanan by Jan Karon 
  • A New Song by Jan Karon.  
  • A Common Life: The Wedding Story by Jan Karon
  • Shepherds Abiding by Jan Karon 
  • In This Mountain by Jan Karon
  • A Light From Heaven by Jan Karon  --   the final book in the Mitford series.
  • At Home in Holly Springs by Jan Karon  --  Father Tim series first of two.  Features Father Tim from the Mitford series having adventures beyond Mitford after his retirement from Episcopal priest duty. In this one he returns to the town he grew up in. 
  • In the Company of Others by Jan Karon  --  Father Tim series second of two.  In this one he and Cynthia have a several week vacation in Ireland from where his father and grandfather had immigrated
Grace Chapel Inn series published by Guidepost which I'm now reading to Mom. New volumes will come in the mail monthly. We are loving it.  Maybe even more than the last half of the Mitford and Father Tim volumes.  Three sisters ages 50, 62 and 70 inherit jointly their family home after their father's death.  A Victorian in a very small town situated next door to the church their father pastored.  They decide to turn it into a Bed and Breakfast so they can afford to keep it and live in it.
  • Back Home Again by Melody Carlson 
  • Going to the Chapel by by Rebecca Kelly

Another series for which I'll probably do a single review. I think there is a 5th book out now so I may wait until I can get my hands on it.  These four were loaners from my niece.

  • Witch by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie
  • Curse by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie
  • Legacy by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie
  • Spellbound by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie
Fiction:

  • The Land of Decoration by Grace McClean an ARC
  • The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff  a library book
  • Losses by Robert Wexelblatt an ARC
  • After: The Shock by Scott Nicholson  This is post apocalyptic horror with zombies.    I anticipated enjoying this even tho zombies are not my favorite horror theme because I really enjoyed his The Red Church and I did but probably not to the same degree.  And its continued.
  • Pie Town by Lynne Hinton
  • Good in Bed by Jennifer Wiener
  • Certain Girls by Jennifer Wiener (sequel to Good in Bed)
  • Joyland by Stephen King
  • Rose Fire by Mercedes Lackey
  • The Nano Experiment by Richard Brawer
  • 420 Characters by Lou Beach  -- library book
Non-Fiction:

  • Boys Will Be Joys by Dave Meurer.
  • Write Good or Die! edited by Scott Nicholson   ROW80 reading list (a collection of essays by inde authors.  many of them self-published)
  • Writing in General and the Short Story in Particular by Rust Hills onetime fiction editor at Esquire.
  •  Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Leher.
  • The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg   Part of my attempt to organize my life around my priorities. So part of my ROW80 reading list.   I discussed this in such detail in this ROW80 check-in post which was practically a review and I'll probably copy/paste much of what I said there into the review.
  • Never Give in to Fear by Marti MacGibbon  This was a NetGalley ARC but later I picked it up for Kindle when it was free on Amazon.  I began it in Adobe Digital Editions and when that timed out on me switched to the Kindle for PC.  This was a memoir of an addict's decent into the abyss and rise back out again and was quite engrossing.
  • Get Your Loved One Sober by Robert Meyers (Research for a fiction WIP)
  • The Road to Success in NaNoWriMo: Your Guide to a Month of High Speed Writing by Terri Main



Mama Makes Up Her Mind and Other Dangers of Southern Living by by Bailey White I thought this was a novel and getting set to put it in the fiction list below when I thought to check out its page on Goodreads and discovered it is a memoir.  It's short little vignette chapters and easy to read font made it ideal for taking with me to doctor appointments.  Which is how I managed to finally finish it.

___Reviews and Bookish Posts:

ADDlepated not exactly bookish but it explains the impact of the recently diagnosed ADD on my life and reading has been a big part of my life so you can imagine how the things I describe can mess with reading and reviewing.  ADD is probably the explanation for my long list of books begun and not yet finished.  Then there is the issue of spending more time collecting free ebooks and fussing with their metadata than actually reading them. *sigh*
Fallen In
Engulped by a Book
Enspelled By Story

April 7 -- I started a book in my Kindle library by impulse on Wednesday and scarfed it down in three days.  Several three to five hour reading sessions were involved along with more than a few of those small slices of in between times.

It wasn't even on any of my lists!  Spontaneity!  Typically so unlike me.

I was combing through my Kindle library with my Nexus 7 looking for all the books I had begun on the computer to get them downloaded onto the device when I noticed one of the NaNoWriMo advice titles and decided to add all of them as well.

One of the books I swept up was called The Nano Experiment.  I was surprised when I opened it to see it was fiction.  I thought it must be a NaNo participant sharing his NaNo project.  But it was awfully good writing for a raw rough draft.

I soon realized it was a thriller and I was sucked in to ten hours of reading over three days.  I was halfway through the story before it hit me that it had absolutely nothing to do with NaNoWriMo.  The story premise was about unauthorized human experiments with NaNo technology created drugs.  Such a doh!

Author Interview with James Zerndt for his, The Korean Word For Butterfly blog tour. Feb 11


The Korean Word For Butterfly by James Zerndt --  February 4 blog tour

I was in my late twenties when I was first introduced to novels featuring the interplay between two or more cultures.  It was the late eighties and one of my Literature and Creative Writing professors (Lawson Inada, later Poet Laureate for Oregon) assigned us a book by an Amer-Indian woman.  Silko?  I was entranced and began to seek them out and have continued to favor them ever since.  Trust me when I say, James Zerndt compares favorably with some of the best I encountered with his The Korean Word for Butterfly.  I am grateful to him for introducing me to the Korean/American relationship.

Hospice Voices: Lessons for Living at the End of Life by Eric Lindner  --  January 29 blog tour


Eric Linder has given us a treasure in Hospice Voices.  He has taught us how to see beyond the visible evidence of physical degeneration and grief over imminent loss to the beauty of the souls preparing to pass on.  He has tapped into the power of storytelling to show us those souls as they sort through their memories and emotions in their attempt to find meaning in their life and share their insights or define the essence of their 'I' and see recognition and validation in the eyes of those, like Eric, with the patience, compassion and courage to bear witness--to listen and observe with neither prejudice nor prescription.






Small town Georgia, 1960. Passions and secrets marinate in a simmering summer heat.  Instead of a single protagonist like Sassy in The Story of Sassy Sweetwater to get attached to and to view the events through, Cook has given us a large cast of at least a dozen well drawn and differentiated characters (The Cassidy family of four and all those caught in their gravity well) whose secrets entwine their many lives like bindweed with some of the most insidious vines being those secrets individuals keep from themselves until they've gained a choke hold on their hope and happiness, their very lives and those of their nearest and dearest.


Organic Beauty With Essential Oil by Rebecca Park Totilo  --  January 23 blog tour

With several personal experiences behind me I needed no further proof that essential oils were essential to health and happiness when the blog tour invite for this book landed in my email.  I was excited by the blurb description and this book, unlike some, totally lived up to its blurb.  It is jammed packed with recipes for personal hygiene whose names are drool worthy.

I suggest not reading this book while hungry.

My Friday Forays in Fiction featured another one of my LOLcats displaying a literary quote along with a kitteh's spin on it.
