Happy Sunday everyone! I feel like singing Oscar's Rainy Day song. If I've been absent lately online (all day Saturday) it's because my computer is off because of all the stormy storms. I'm really excited about May. I hope to get a lot of reading done. Many blog tours planned for May and June. Speaking of blog tours, voting may still be open I'm not sure when she'll close the poll. I appreciate the readers who have voted so far! I really really do :)

What I've read and really really need to review:
None
What I'm currently reading:
The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff
A Passion Denied by Julie Lessman
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Barchester Tower by Anthony Trollope
What I'm just fooling around that I'm reading:
The Secret Holocaust Diaries. Nonna Bannister. 2009. 120/299
What I've abandoned:
Pop Apocolypse: A Possible Satire by Lee Konstantinou. I think it's the tense of this one that did it end. I just couldn't stand it. I hate first person present narrations.
Reincarnation by Suzanne Weyn. I think this may work for some readers. But I had a hard time buying the premise. And with the characters (not to mention the time and setting) changing every other chapter or so, I had a hard time caring.

I can't wait to see your review of Forest Born!! Happy Sunday, Becky :)
Good thing I have you to keep me up-to-date! I didn't realize a new Bayern book was due out soon. I better get around to reading River Secrets soon. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about Forest Born!
That is one busy reading week. We've been deluged with rain here in the midwest as well. Thank goodness the last 2 days have been rain free!!
Hope the weather calms down for you!
Nymeth: It was a fun book!
Debi, Yes, you still have some time. I don't think Forest Born releases until September. But it is coming. :)
Stephanie: Yes, the rain stopped. For now. Some more is due later this week. What kept me a little off on Sunday was the fact my computer chair is semi-broken. Gone from 5 wheels to 4. So I'm figuring out how to sit in a crippled chair. Trying to find ways that aren't awkward and dangerous. :)
Hi Becky
I recently read the 19th Wife and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing your review.
I'm new to the book blogosphere and just starting to explore who else is out there (waves hello).
