Happy (Belated) Easter !
Work has gotten completely overwhelming so I haven't been up to much reading for fun the past couple of weeks.
I only got a couple of reviews up last week
Currently I am working on (ooh - not a good phrase but that is rather what it feels like) three books ...
I plan to finish Packing for Mars this week. I have to admit that I have been rather stalled on this book - thinking too much about the nitty-gritty of the early space program is rather depressing me, since I used to dream of being an astronaut. I have also joined 2014 Classic YA/MG Challenge so I am re-reading Anne of Green Gables. I am getting to one of the bits that is really sad, so I have stalled here too - but I need to finish the book for the April 25th discussion.
Finally - I have been reading No Place for a Lady about women explorers/travelers in the 1800's - "those ladies who will travel where they have no business to travel, who will wear costumes which they have no business (in those latitudes) to wear; who will go 'unprotected;' who will choose their dragoman by physiognomy, as romance suggests, and not by advice of friends, as common sense would dictate." pg 7-8.You can see a bit of the book in A peak into No Place for a Lady and my Wondrous Words Wednesday 11 post last week.
On the environmental front we have ...
- Your Inner Fish Episode 1
- Years of Living Dangerously - first episode free!
- Niagara Ice Boom going for record
An interesting selection, I hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!

I love Anne of Green Gables, I haven't reread it in a long time. I will have to check out that challenge! Hope you finish your "working on" books this week. :)
