This is the outside of a terrific little second-hand book shop in McKinney, Texas, called The Book Gallery. They have thousands of old and rare books, as well as a sweet dog named Abby (not pictured).

What Are You Reading in February?

Posted on by

What is on your reading list this month?

How are you approaching the new reading year? Eagerly? Obsessively? Or slowly but surely?

This is a really light reading month for me, as I am spending a third of the month on vacation.

Since 1st February, I’ve finished:

  • How to be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life by Melissa Hellstern
  • Famous and Infamous Londoners by Peter de Loriol
  • Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames by Ray Hagen and Laura Wagner
  • Women in the Arts in the Belle Epoque: Essays on Influential Artists, Writers and Performers
  • Billy Bragg: Still Suitable for Miners by Andrew Collins

I’m in the midst of reading:

  • The Lost Tudor Princess: The Life of Lady Margaret Douglas by Alison Weir (this is my sole road-trip read)

To be finished by 29th February:

  • Clara Bow: Runnin’ Wild by David Stenn (I first read this book when I was in high school)

What is your favourite book this month?

Which book on your list are you most looking forward to reading?

Please share with me in the comments!

Happy reading.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Time

This is my response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Time.

Mercer-Williams House Museum

*Mercer-Williams House Museum. Savannah, Georgia.

*The Mercer-Williams House Museum is, of course, closely associated with John Berendt’s overrated 1994 non-fiction book, **Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It also has a rather loose association to Johnny Mercer, which is more up the alley of my interests.

**Thus, the rather tenuous association with this week’s challenge.
