It's Monday, What Are you Reading?

Well actually, it's Tuesday. I'm a day behind, still recovering from an amazing writing conference I attended last weekend, the Festival of Faith and Writing. Highlights from the conference include: seeing tons of close friends, giving a reading, and selling out of my book. Also, I managed to buy only one book, which was a real accomplishment considering how many books tempted me at the book fair. The book I did buy was The Confessions of X, by Suzanne Wolfe. Suzanne's husband, Greg Wolfe, editor of the wonderful Image journal, had a stack of her books on his table, and I couldn't resist.

And now,  a bit of quiet reading is just what I need after all the time interacting with people at the conference. Luckily, Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon is coming up this Saturday. Anybody else participating in that?

Last week, since I was so busy, I only finished one book: A Man Called Ove, by Frederik Backman. I LOVE this book. I won't give much away, but let's just say that I'm not at all a cat lover, but I had become one by the end of the book. This week I'm reading Truth and Beauty, by Ann Patchett. I'm sure I'll add more to my reading list as the read-a-thon approaches. I'll post later this week with the list of books I plan to work on for that.
