The week is coming to an end and I’m actually feeling good about the reading progress I have made this week. I’ve had my nose glued to the pages of James Patterson’s 21st Birthday and I find myself looking forward to getting a chance to read each day.
The plot of the novel centers around the deaths of a young mother and her one-year-old daughter. It seems that there is a serial killer on the loose, the only question is whether it is the husband or the father-in-law. Both men point the finger at the other one and it is left to our team of women to figure out who is telling the truth. Currently, I’m just a little over halfway through this page turner.
I decided to enjoy a slower read this week. I’m just grabbing moments to read where I can. I read a couple of chapters during my lunch break while sitting in my car next to a city park. (It was too hot to venture to a shady bench!) I enjoyed a gourmet pizza for dinner while paging through the story in Lubbock. While waiting for students to arrive for a morning class, I got in a couple of chapters of reading. Saturday is going to be an extremely busy day, so I’m anticipating that I’ll only read a few pages at the end of the day to keep my current reading streak alive.
Is that the only thing I’ve been reading this week? Of course not! I have taken a break from The Goblet of Fire though. I have a feeling I may have to start that audio book over again in a few weeks. I’ve been doing a lot of reading in preparation for my pedagogy class. Today, I began reading The Great Pianists by Harold Schonberg. That will definitely be a long term project, but one that is worthy of my attention.
