Holiday Reading Round-Up

Well there you have it, I'm back in England and it's raining. I should learn not to be surprised really, it is standard for the uk after all. Although, to contradict myself entirely, it is actually quite pleasant. I'm not one who goes in for heat, intact I tend to turn into a mumbling, muttering golem walking a few paces behind my family. I burn and I get heat rash so the sun practically has it out for me. But that is all beside the point, I am home and enjoying the British weather and now I'll get onto the interesting bit - books.

Considering this was never going to be a reading holiday, I am very pleased with the number of books I have finished. When my family 'do' a city we spend much of the time walking and the rest of the time eating. I adore museums, art galleries, historical points of interest and just nice buildings so we always find a lot to do. We did have a couple of wash-out days though when I squeezed in some reading and the jet lag meant we hit the sack earlier than usual giving me time to devour a few pages before I conked out on the pillow (snoring lightly and drooling steadily. What an image). I finished a total of four books and got three-quarters of the way through a fifth. Not bad going. Impressive, you could say, most impressive...(you know the rest and if you don't, well, I, frankly, am shocked and appalled).

Ignorance by Michele Roberts

Where D'You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

The Cleaner of Chartres by Salley Vickers

And I made significant progress with The Paris Wife by Paula McLain. 

I obviously have thoughts on all these books which will be following shortly. I have quite the backlog of reviews to write but I'll get there eventually. 

I think it's fair to say that she no longer be slumpin'.
