This was my last week of maternity leave, so it was my last week at home with Daniel and my books. I didn’t get all that many books read, but I’ve done a pretty good amount of reading. Here’s what I finished this week:
I also posted a LOT this week. Pictures link to the post.
A couple things that might be of interest to you: First, I am trying to get recommendations for mysteries for my book club to read in October. I’ve gotten a lot of great ideas, but I’d love to get yours as well. I also announced that Swapna and I will be hosting a challenge to read the books of the 2010 Debs.
Then I totally geeked out about receiving an ARC of Elizabeth Kostova’s new book, “The Swan Thieves.” I’m reading it right now, actually and really enjoying it so far. I’ll probably post my review after BBAW.
I also shared my Library Loot
Then there are the reviews I posted last week:
What a week. I’m in for your challenge and I’m green with envy over The Swan Thieves!
I hope going back to work works smoothly for you, Daniel, and Mr. Devourer!
I love the idea of the Debutante challenge … definitely in for that one!
Good luck with the transition back to work … I am sure you will all do fine.
It looks to me like you got a lot of reading done for someone with a new baby!
Always impressed with you Jen. You kept us readers hopping! I am so jealous over The Swan Thieves, as I said before. Babies don’t slow you down!
I have given you an award!

I will be very interested in reading your thoughts on “Swan Thieves”-It will be interesting to see if the author’s talents have matured.
You did great (reading wise) with a new little-guy to keep you busy. Hope all goes smoothly as you ease back to work.
Looking forward to Swan Thieves.
I just found you via BBAW so I’m catching up on some of your posts to get a feel for your blog … and I’m just dumbfounded what you’ve been able to do with a new baby! Yikes! I have a 5 year old and I have something like 7 books waiting to be reviewed and I’m nowhere near as prolific as you seem to be. Yowza … I guess your blog name is very accurate! Congrats on the new baby! It is a great thing, isn’t it?
I’m amazed by your readerly productivity. Terrific!
