Weekly Review: Sunday, July 13, 2014

It was a slow week here at the Pathologically Literate household; much reading of books took place. The Boy spent the weekend in Iowa at Grandma Choo-Choo’s house, so I got to have a little bit of very rare alone time – which of course was mostly spent reading in bed. Let’s take a look at my week in books:

Books I read this week:

The Midwife of Hope River by Patricia Harman
The World Made Straight by Ron Rash
The Virtues of Oxygen by Susan Schoenberger
Saints at the River by Ron Rash
My Father Like a River by Ron Rash
A Long Time Gone by Karen White
The Last Telegram by Liz Trenow

Book I’m currently reading:

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

…and more!

The Midwife of Hope River was a wonderful read. I went on a bit of a Ron Rash binge this week; The World Made Straight was the best of that bunch. The Virtues of Oxygen was an easy read, but hard to take emotionally at times. I really liked A Long Time Gone, and The Last Telegram was yet another piece of historical fiction that struck my fancy big time. Although I missed The Boy, I really dug the alone time I had this weekend – it was nice to read without being interrupted every two to three minutes… Until next week, folks – Happy Reading!
