It’s been a busy week on ye olde blog.
I’m looking for input on a presentation I’ll be giving at a library conference on book blogs: Book Bloggers and Librarians.
My R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril VI sign-up post includes a list of books that I’m really looking forward to reading in the next couple of months.
Book Review: The Beck Diet Solution by Judith S. Beck describes what worked for me to lose weight.
I started and finished Book Review: Heartwishes by Jude Deveraux in just a couple of days — it was so much fun!
Book Review: Northwest Angle by William Kent Krueger went up on the book’s publication date. That book was also the source for my Wondrous Words Wednesday post.
I also finished reading Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford for the YA for Adults Book Club at Pudd’nhead Books in Webster Groves. The meeting, on Wednesday, will be our first in their new location, so I’m looking forward to that!
Reading
What to Eat by Marion Nestle continues to be my lunch-time book. I’ve started one of my RIP books, Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong. I’m also working my way through A Course in Weight Loss by Marianne Williamson.
Will Read
Next up will be one or both of these:
- The Women of the Cousins’ War, a nonfiction review book by Philippa Gregory and others about notable women and their roles in the Wars of the Roses
- A Million Nightingales by Susan Straight, the first selection of the reading project sponsored by Amy Reads and Opinions of a Wolf: The Real Help: Helping Put “The Help” In Its Historical Context – A Reading Project.
I just started the first in the series of William Kent Krueger. I thought it was quite a good beginning for a series. I am looking forward to the 2nd. Who knows if I’ll ever make it to the 11th!
That last book on your list sounds interesting, about the real Help. I’m sure The Help isn’t accurate but it was really interesting to learn about this period. Is The Real Help a nit-picking project or does it really offer something useful? Looking forward to seeing more about it on your blog.

I’ve only read Kelley Armstrong’s YA novels, but would eventually get to her adult books.
Good luck with your conference presentation!
Thanks for posting about our The Help project, I look forward to your thoughts on some of the books if you do read them!
I saw the readalong at Amy Reads and thought that it looked really interesting. I won’t be able to participate but I will definitely be following it. I love the idea of it
