What Are You Reading: Feburary 07, 2011: 02/07/11
A third of my current reads are still text books. The rest are mostly books off my wishlist or to be read pile. From that list I will probably only finish The Hunger Games and Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 4 as both are short, relatively easy reads.
Among my finished reads, many are picture books. Those picture books were homework for the collection building for ages 5 to 8 that I'm taking. Specific picture books weren't assigned but I was supposed to read books that illustrated specific points in our lecture notes and text book reading.
The titles in quotes are short stories. I spent a couple hours on Saturday reading through my back issues of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I finally finished the July / August 2010 issue. Now I'm on the September / October issue.

You are reading Hunger Games- I hope you enjoy it - I really did!

The Hunger Games is okay. I'm enjoying it but so far it's not sucking me in.
Comment #3: Monday, February, 7, 2011 at 05:22:42
Wow that is some list, I am very impressed. I am lucky if I get two books read in a week.

Most of what I read though was short: short stories and picture books.
Comment #5: Monday, February, 7, 2011 at 08:33:46
I love Alan Bradley's books! Flavia is one of the most unique and fun characters I've come across in a long time. Enjoy!

I've only just started. Hopefully I'll like it.

That is some reading you accomplished this week.

Lots of short fiction mostly. The total page count probably isn't very high.
Comment #9: Monday, February, 7, 2011 at 10:27:25
I have The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie on my tbr list - looking forward to seeing your thoughts on it. My It's Monday post can be found here.

I will get it reviewed sometime after I finish it. But I have a long back log of things I want to review!

Great list of books and stories--Happy Reading! Here's my Monday!
Comment #12: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 23:15:55
Thank you. Same to you!
Comment #13: Monday, February, 7, 2011 at 16:08:59
Whoa! Look at all those books! Incredible! I've been really eager to try the Pinkalicious books because I think my daughter might really like them, but we'll see.
Have a fabulous reading week and thanks for stopping by earlier!

Both of my children (son and daughter) like the Pinkalicious series. It's not as pretty pink princessy as you might think from the covers.
Comment #15: Monday, February, 7, 2011 at 18:25:59
What a lovely week, congratulations! Have a great one :)

I am. I'm almost done with volume four and I have the next three after that waiting to go.

You are one busy lady, even with picture books, manga, short stories. :-D
I'm hopping a bit late tonight, work just held me up and for some reason they frown on blogging during work hours. <grin> Anyway, looks like you will have another busy week (including those textbooks!)
keep up the great work.

This week though I'm doing nothing but assigned reading, it seems. Sigh.
Comment #21: Tuesday, February, 8, 2011 at 01:26:10
It's sometimes quite nice to (re)read all these picture books. Hope you're enjoying it.
Is it the first time you're reading The Hunger Games? I loved the series.
Comment #22: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 23:27:12
Pussreboots
Yes. This is my first time and probably my only time. It's fun but probably not something I will want to reread.

I'm taking a materials for ages 5 to 8 this semester, so I'm reading twice as many picture books as I would otherwise.
Comment #25: Wednesday, February, 9, 2011 at 14:27:21
Wow, you read a lot! I've read some of these & some are on my tbr list! Happy reading!

My reading is inflated right now because I'm in school.
