Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good week so far and have some exciting plans for the weekend.
My chosen poem this week is one that really made me giggle when I read it, so I thought I would share it. The poem is by the American children’s poet Kenn Nesbitt (1962).
Einstein's Brain I heard that they've got Einstein's brain just sitting in a jar. I don't know where they keep it, but I hope it isn't far. I need to go and borrow it to help me with this test. I've answered twenty questions but on every one I guessed. If someone asks you where I've gone, then kindly please explain I'll be right back; I've just gone out to look for Einstein's brain. Kenn Nesbitt

Hello!
June has not gone well reading wise. I am bogged down with Dombey and Son but I am making slow progress with it and really enjoying it still which is the main thing.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My reading is not going well at the moment, for some reason I have the attention span of a gnat. I think it is because I am ploughing towards the end of term and exhaustion is most likely setting in.
Anyway, back to the books…
What I am Currently Reading
I was hoping to have finished Dombey and Son by the end of this month but that is not going to happen, so now I am hoping I will finish it before I go on holiday. I am loving the Alison Weir and Richard Buxton books, I struggle to work out which one to read all the time.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
Yay! I have finally finished a book. I really enjoyed this and found it some light relief from my other books which are fairly heftier. Review will follow shortly.
What I Think I will Read Next
As usual I am never really sure what I will read next but it maybe one of these.
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!
This prompt is perfect for me this week because I have been trying to work out what to read this Summer. I am going away in July and I need to decide what to read because I am planning a nice relaxing time with plenty of chilling by the pool but I have no idea!
So here is what I have come up with.
So there is my list. I doubt I will get around to all of the books (the curse of being a mood reader), but I hope to read as many as possible.
What books do you have on your Summer TBR?

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. Sadly the blogging hasn’t gone very well this week and neither has the reading but hopefully I will get back on track next week.

I’m currently still ploughing on with these books. I’m really enjoying the Alison Weir but have come to a bit of a halt with the Dickens.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I’m not getting much reading done at the moment which is shame but I’m hoping that will improve soon.
My chosen quote this week is about cats. When I saw it I thought it was perfect because I can’t get Lyra our calico to behave at all.
“I would like to see anyone, prophet, king or God, convince a thousand cats to do the same thing at the same time.”
Neil Gaiman

Goodreads Monday is now hosted by Budget Tales Book Club. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading.
Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I have had a busy day of teaching music and running choir club. I have an unexpected day off tomorrow so I am hoping to enjoy a bit of reading time.
My chosen book this week is by an author who I haven’t read a lot of, so I am hoping to read more of their work.
A collection of three stories. The Stories take place in and around the fictional town of Milby in the English Midlands. Each of the Scenes concerns a different Anglican clergyman, but is not necessarily centred upon him. Eliot examines, among other things, the effects of religious reform and the tension between the Established and the Dissenting Churches on the clergymen and their congregations, and draws attention to various social issues, such as poverty, alcoholism, and domestic violence.
This is also my next read on my The Classics Club challenge so hopefully I will read it soon.

Four books now on the go and I am loving all of them. The Diary of a Bookseller is particularly amusing.
