I have to admit, I’m getting spoiled by all the fantastic book events going on in my area lately. Last week, I attended a signing by the magnificent Meg Waite Clayton and yesterday the boys & I enjoyed another afternoon at One More Page Books, who was hosting a day of bookish fun: galley giveaways, raffles, and hardbacks at paperback prices! Of course, it’s impossible for me to leave that store without a bag full of books!
Today, I’m spending the day relaxing and catching up on a bit of reading. On Tuesday, I’ll be leading a discussion of Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese at One More Page Books, so I’m doing a reread as it’s been several months sinc e I read it last. I’m also reading Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz & David Hayward, quite the hilarious book!
In case you missed it, here are some of my posts from last week:
- Literary Road Trip: March Link Round Up!
- Frightful Friday: Liquid Fear by Scott Nicholson
- Guest Post & Giveaway: Holly Tucker, Author of Blood Work
- Review: The Four Ms. Bradwells by Meg Waite Clayton
- Giveaway: Inkblot by Margaret Peot
- Review: Inkblot by Margaret Peot
This coming week, I’ll be posting reviews of The Raising by Laura Kasischke, The Girl Who Would Speak for the Dead by Paul Elwork. I’ll also be participating in Jen’s Moonlighting for Murder Theme Week later in the week as well!
This coming weekend I’ll be traveling for work so unfortunately I will miss Dewey’s 24-hr read-a-thon, but you should definitely participate if you can!
I hope you all have a wonderfully bookish week!

Jenn, I love the idea of the literary road trip. I have been inspired to visit places after reading about them in novels. I live in London so I’m lucky that the local neighbourhood is crammed full of literary history – but I read a lot of ‘foreign’ literature, including American and Australian authors so some of my literary road trips are virtual ones.
Your week sounds interesting – I hope the next week is just as good.
You’ve had a fantastic week!
I’ll be interested to hear what you thought of The Raising, I’ve been trying to get into it and just can’t seem to find a connection.
