Why yes... I am a speed reader! It only took me about a week to finish the last
5 books I took out from our library!
Here is what I currently have checked out:
1. The rose of Sebastopol![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u1DWAALcV78oTezrO2KaA4WViGFBp75gJHA4_44e1jydzIsgOZ09E_3lXWPht6vaPYjqXlJxTByOuA5GyjLV2hSKjpD2e3PLp_S9Be_PjBPYXqWhFvNEvp-0mGD6wfPQ38Io_aJ5Unp5iGIGADs_TX63f5x_Fjl0GoAuCO-xbB9aGE=s0-d)
- Katharine McMahon
(Had a hard time with this because it skipped years in almost every chapter.)
2. Primrose past : the 1848 journal of young Lady Primrose Hunt![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tevmIJe9gu127H2tNr3Wm4GcPGoeSJ0U4rneSj20rAeXvTX_PQd7cuZy4O4pAg4dRds7LN_CJaZRbzv_aKIQvPwtcbkAeKivj6wCUiuBm4ZRWRXLT3HRkpgwMDBeRhrCLMED6VkCDmdvu6XSSy2uNuPalDHl1u6r241We0vhwGcTUy=s0-d)
- Caroline Rose.
(Kinda boring).
3. Your name is Renee : Ruth Kapp Hartz's story as a hidden child in Nazi-occupied France![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s0TvLKuhbDRtB6afqxn9Yv6QN4DNxm5SWHhJujwSXO-xj8VtXCIM9El8bhjwsmxck68FKXGwkYf_cWS8-Ep3jy4mgvvGGQxzyS3ty5w_upIzBPFXK20bBnCYliiBWGDthNnA98gQvttkvFhauxoRId7nDRuXH2nDR9DwgaIOJyJqgF=s0-d)
- Stacy Cretzmeyer
(I enjoyed this. It's interesting reading about the Holocaust from France's perspective).
4. Alice I have been : a novel![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tnDZmV-aPuCIDAYXDoT5QJj-0KGQzFfx8beta48hN5o9Dc_T6uFo7K_JZxjd830mGqUYtA6DNINfXCswq0wQcysUcApBq8QqU-7DanHi3gItE4bjpqfwkxNgxmFjt_5x1USu_43ufanE1duTvXK7A-q3R364IjXFkNFcTxm3CRjpHn=s0-d)
- Melanie Benjamin
(This one was pretty interesting- fiction about the real "Alice" in wonderland and her friendship with Lewis Carroll.)
5. In Dublin's fair city![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uzmJNcEG7_5Glf71zx7YSwwGavjh3hvohpvub0ucUQi4r0Q6ZNtZlKZ1805S6StRd3uK6GRitP5vfCIn531YfXB1S3DYHHfALHYWC4WqLfWy7IZ8ynN6lsPNw8ugiFXW_mp_hU8BQgixgfbS2hBK-KBAdcspXavbl2D0pZQX84NruR=s0-d)
- Rhys Bowen
(Good read.)
6. Tell me, pretty maiden![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sBRDO_erPhbZgsxepjWOHWXGOs8m4dxvnsQIeO-JASfxA-zqEEIa_diVAXzIdgWQas7I7cMmFTRBToYO8nlzEJCgD6MbVrNrxqg_RdnWFfAsg5HcIhB2QWd8DOlLYOdV-r7rY5JUN052F-UudQ8RB359CQfSqQDINdQWNqj6V6UlbC=s0-d)
- Rhys Bowen
(I like these Molly Murphy mysteries.)
7. Sarah Morgan : the Civil War diary of a southern woman![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tHRpZMV-jfU0aA0RoN3QFMgemRUHBODpOnVfe6V-MAJ0JgrXQLz5J-SM33q7hYLETb_kWpxYSZ7ZLH_KybzzL1rLvQDY-u3LFwM3grcD8YcoWsFz9qm3G3l-Ho1G1KXie-JUlQKoeAZTDNrgOnN0yGM0GEfZuR8Z99ibwC8__Yjl8=s0-d)
- Sarah Morgan- Edited by Charles East
(I think if I owned this I wouldn't have skipped around so much- but being an actual diary it's very long winded. I still might look for a copy online for myself.)
8. The wet nurse's tale![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vRlWc1VuwlTQp3BKuw2idH6-6GmzL1oQdE2C0drVtdD5k41XUHzw_pOW5-hkq_OvHDDXNmfVMoxlePQ_14inImz34kz70B2G-9rzfa6cU_Z4elsFMG6io3pSE3A1oKPkZ-AUFjL_-lnI9CtThlV1f21I31Dkub1Xyw6XfHRz1RHHLd=s0-d)
- Erica Eisdorfer
(I liked this one)
(I will edit this post with a description of how I liked each book as I finish them.)
Five books in one week?!? Impressive. With work, I no longer have the time to read for enjoyment. "Alive I Have Been" actually sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteHaha, even when I'm working, I can get through almost the same amount of books. I read every night before I go to sleep. My husband said he's surprised I haven't read through our whole library yet.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are a speed reader. I made some brown and serve rolls over the weekend and did a post about them today. Stop by for a visit.
