Yes - another try to come back to "book-blogging".. I am really ashamed how much energy I put into my film blog(s) while I let my other blogs starve.. Shame on me! I will work am working on that.

But now to the more interesting and less fatiguing (as I hope..) part of this post:

The last book I finished was:

MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN (2011) by Ransom Riggs

Right now I am about to finish:

THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE (2002) by Michel Faber

With my reading group I am reading (and almost finished - that was hard work not to read it just on one day..)

THE HELP (2009) by Kathryn Stockett

What's next? 

I am really not sure.. so many books outthere which I simply have to read before I drop dead.. 

- besides that: I'd like to be mysterious.. (okay - even I think that this sounded silly..)

...

well.. 

...

Have a great start into the week!

And: I am working on reviews - honestly! I am!!

Yours

This month is right now filled with books - though I planned to have a slow start.. 

With my Goodreads-Reading group I am reading:

THE SCARLET LETTER by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1850)

With one of my friends I will soon start to read 

WIDE SARGASSO SEA by Jean Rhys (1966) 

- I am pretty excited to find out all about Mr. Rochester before he met Jane Eyre and even more to find out about the first Mrs. Rochester.. I already know the BBC film with Rafe Spall - but still.. A book might telling me more.. they usually do..

I am also reading - because he is our guest star of the month at the new film blog I am doing together with one of my best friends Monty Hawes LET THE SHOW BEGIN - 

BOGART by A.M. Sperber and Eric Lax (1998).

I did kind of a review about two books dealing with Cocktails and Hangovers on my film blog AND THEN START TO SPARKLE (<- read my post here..)

So - have a great start into the New Year - and read lots and lots of wonderful books!

Yours 

Irene
