I forgot to sign up for an interview at Armchair BEA, so I decided to do some “what are you reading?” interviews via text message, Facebook, and in person with the people I met on Monday. These are the results:
What are you reading today?
Family:
Eldest Daughter: Augustine and the Trinity by Lewis Ayres.
Semicolon Mom says: ED is always reading something that makes the rest of us sound trivial, but we love her anyway.
Musician/Computer Guru Son: Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
Drama Daughter: Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music by Marisa Meltzer.
Semicolon Mom says: I do not get it, but DD has a newly found enjoyment of and appreciation for nineties grunge music. Each to her own . . .
Brown Bear Daughter: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen.
Karate Kid: Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
Semicolon Mom says: Uh-oh! I think my older son took younger son’s book and is reading it. Maybe we’re about to have a family book fight?
Betsy-Bee: The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien.
Semicolon Mom says: I’m so excited that my 12 year baby is starting to read my favorite epic fantasy novel of all time. I think she’ll enjoy it.
Z-Baby: Geronimo Stilton (one of the 47 titles in this series)
Friends and extended family:
Jane: Crazy Love by Francis Chan.
Semicolon says: I read this one a month or two ago, and it frustrated me.
Susi: The Seventeen Second Miracle by Jason R. Wright. So far, pretty good. I’m also reading Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. I’m halfway through it, and it’s interesting I guess, but doesn’t seem to be going anywhere particular . . .
Semicolon says: I never read Kostova’s other immensely popular book, The Historian. Should I?
Celeste: One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp and Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham.
Semicolon says: Those both sound like books worth reading. Can I borrow?
Jen: Russian WInter: A Novel by Daphne Kolotay.
Semicolon says: I took look at this one on Amazon, and I’m looking forward to reading Jen’s review at 5 Minutes for Books or at Snapshot.
Oh, and I’m reading The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon and The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers. Something old, something new, both borrowed from the library, and neither of them blue. I guess I’m already thinking about all the weddings that are scheduled for June.
