Currently reading:
- Never Tell me Never by Janine Shepherd - an Australian autobiography of an athlete who was hit by a car and made a partial paraplegic
- The Betrayal of Arthur by Sara Douglass - still going through this one slowly - it's non-fiction so I need to be in the right mood!
- The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart - Merlin's story
- Camelot: the once and future king by T.H. White - I have to admit I'm struggling to get into this. The writing style just isn't grabbing me.
- The Templar by Paul Doherty - historical novel set in the Crusades - looking forward to reading this one
- A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson - this one may take me some time to get through!
And for some light(er) reading: - Dreams of Rivers and Seas by Tim Parks
- Sophie's Bakery for the Broken-hearted - I just loved the subtitle on this - "A stunning novel of love, grief and baking".
- Windfalls by Jean Hegland
- The Writing Class by Jincy Willett (murder mystery)
So tell me, what's in your reading pile this month?

Are you in a King Arthur sort of mood these days? I see 3 books on the topic!
lol, you noticed?!
The Once and Future King is one of my all time favorites!
Let's see, I have a few I want to get through before they are due:
The Faceless Ones by Derek Landy (third book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series I'm reading with my kids)
Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox
This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women (the title intrigued me.)
If I put much more than that on my to read list, I will overwhelm myself!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
Wow - actual non-kid related, grown-up books! It's been a while. I hate to say it, but the best I've done lately is a few Tea House mysteries, by Laura Childs - pure mind candy. Colder weather is coming on this side of the world though, and that means cozying up by the fireplace with a good book - time to find a few, I guess.
Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express :) Have been wanting to read it for ages.
Cristina - I've had a few people say that - I'll have to struggle through it! The Michael J. Fox one sounds good - I really admire him.
An Almost Unschooling Mum - yeah, hard to believe isn't it?!
Suji - I went through a Christie stage some years ago. I think I still have most of them somewhere. I'm not sure I ever read that one though! I love the Poirot tv series they did with David Suchet - did you ever see those?
