This has been the saddest reading year for me in recent memory. I haven't been around on my blog, although I think about it fondly sometimes. I suffered a head injury in December, which made me kind of fuzzy over Christmas break, which is usually a heavy reading time for me. Then I caught a cold, which became a sinus infection, which still persists after nearly two months. So, my energy and focus has been mainly on work. However, I just attended the Tucson Festival of Books, which got me excited to read again, so I'll start with this week's topic at
The Broke and The Bookish- Top Ten Books on my Spring TBR.

Sounds like you've had a pretty awful winter...
ReplyDeleteThe Bell Jar is a wonderful novel, simply amazing, but maybe start with something lighter/more fun?
Feel Better!
I just received an ARC for The Interestings and am looking forward to it. And I have to confess- I've never read the Bell Jar! Oops! I guess I better get on it teach her poetry next year to my students.
ReplyDeleteYour list looks a whole lot like mine! I have a galley of The Interestings that I'm dying to read but also kind of setting aside to savor a bit. Rage is Back sounds fantastic, I really need to grab a copy of it.
