Between taking down the Halloween decorations and pondering when precisely was too early to put up the Christmas decorations I have made an absolute mess of my book piles. I spent the last week trying to re-organize everything using the Libib.com app and I found three (THREE) books I didn’t even realize I was still in the middle of reading.
Now it’s WWW Wednesday to the rescue. Thank goodness for Sam at Taking on the World of Words for this post and its ability to get me back on track!
What did I just finish reading?
The only book I can say I have finished is In Sickness and in Health by Ben Mattlin. It is a frank discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of a interability relationships. Ben Mattlin himself is in an interabled marriage. His insight into what issues arise and face couples in a similar situation made for an extremely interesting read. I highly recommend it and you can read (slightly) more on my post here. I know I read more but this is how unorganized I have been.
What am I currently reading?
It is more like, “what aren’t I currently reading?” Here are my books.
Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart was found abandoned with only 20 pages remaining. The Alice Network by Kate Quinn I left only half completed. And, I think everyone knows I stopped helping the Hobbits get to Morder when Galdalf the White returned. Meanwhile, I started reading The Problim Children by Natalie Lloyd because I lack self control.
What do I plan to read next?
I have Paperback Crush, the Totally Radical History of 80’s and 90’s Teen Fiction by Gabrielle Moss and The Radium Girls by Kate Moss. I have been trying to prioritize nonfiction for Nonfiction November and I have really been enjoying the wonder that is nonfiction publishing lately. I cannot wait to finish some of my current reading and get started on these two books.
Tell me, please!
What books made your list this week?
Grace and Fury is on my TBR too!

I can’t believe I stopped so close to finishing the book but I must admit, it has a very familiar plot so that might be why. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

No progress on The Two Towers, eh? Do you think you’ll be able to finish it before the year is out? Return of the King shouldn’t be too much on its own for next year once that is all that’s left.

I’m determined to finish the trilogy before the end of the year. I’ve even set up a schedule in an attempt to achieve at least this one goal!

“Interability” — I’ve never heard that term before. It’s an interesting topic. I have heard about it in relation to returning troops, but really in no other context, so that book looks intriguing.
