Two-weekly Reading Roundup
July 14, 2014 7 Comments
The last two weeks
Not much reading done! I’ve been to a 2-Day business course (given by the famous Brian Tracy) and learned to FOCUS on what’s important. And reading is becoming that less and less. And… no reading, not much blogging!
.
Books I finished in the last TWO weeks: 3
The Home Place by Carrie La Seur. A woman’s never-do-well sister has died. Was it really an accident? A book full of family secrets. 4 stars
Snow White by Donald Barthelme [review in Dutch]. A crazy book about a modern-day Snow White who lives with seven men but is waiting for her prince. 4 stars
Haal meer uit je dip [Get More from Your Dip] by Marisa Garau [review in Dutch]. About how mindfulness can help you when you’re in a dip. I’m not, but I found it useful anyway. 4 stars
.
Other books I reviewed
![Het Boschhuis [The Bosch House] by Pauline Broekema](https://leeswammes.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/boschhuis.jpg?w=97&h=150 "Het Boschhuis [The Bosch House] by Pauline Broekema")
Longbourn by Jo Baker. Behind the scenes at Pride and Prejudice: the servants’ tale. 4.5 stars
Where’d You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple. A fun read about the disappearance of a mother. 4.5 stars
Het Boschhuis [The Bosch House] by Pauline Broekema [review in Dutch]. A fictionalised family history. Too detailed, too disconnected. DNF.
Planning to read next
What are YOU reading this week?
About Judith
Leeswammes' Blog 
You are one of the most determined people I know, Judith, so I cannot wait to see what is brewing from your new passion.
You are still reading more than most people I know!
Thanks, Joanna. I can be determined at times and pretty lazy at others. 🙂
I just bought Where’d You Go Bernadette finally, now I just need to find the time to read it!
Have a great reading week,
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
Shelleyrae, I think you’ll enjoy Bernadette a lot. Happy reading!
I need to read the 24 hour book store yet. Book store! Whats not to love?
My husband and I took up dancing when all the kids moved out and it has really cut into my reading and TV time! I hope you’re not giving up reading and blogging, though, just doing other things too!
Is this less reading!?!? Since I enjoy your blog, I have a selfish interest here, but I hope it’s just a phase. 😉
