Do you know which former US president James Patterson is co-authoring a book with? Take a guess here.

I'm on a week long stay-cation and I'm sure you all know what that means... reading! Lots of reading. I always have lofty reading goals (because shoot for the moon and all that) so this week, I'm going to try to finish the Lord of the Rings trilogy, finally complete The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O., and begin a reading venture I've been wanting to do for the past ten years- read the entire Star War's Extended Universe (obviously not reading all of them this week; just starting).

What are you all reading this week? Any highlights? Low-lights? Let us know!

Now I'm reading The Secrets She Keeps.
Why is it that if I put a hand DL on 5 books, they all come in the same week, even when there's a waiting list? Ha ha

I finished The Garden Intrigue by Lauren Willig, and have read The Passion of the Purple Plumeria also by Lauren Willig; Word of Honor by Radclyffe, and New Leash on Life and Leader of the Pack by Roxanne St. Claire. Next up will hopefully be The Paris Spy, even if I have to go buy my own copy (it's out I Hardcover).

I am currently reading Paper Towns by John Green, which I can't put down! Once I finish reading, I plan to start The Shack by William P. Young.

I am reading Wally Lamb's We Are Water. He is one of my favorite authors. One of my favorite books of all time is She's Come Undone.
