What I read this week:
The first full week back to school and sports was a little crazy so I didn’t get much reading done. I re-read Silhouette of a Sparrow to finished writing my review (I still love it). I also started Keshiki Bonzai by Kenji Kobayashi. Keshiki Bonzai is very cool — it has instructions for making indoor bonzai using young plants, houseplants, and moss. Much more do-able for someone getting started or wanting an indoor bonzai.

Nice! A Terry Pratchett novel! I have a few here at home, but I have this notion that I’d be able to complete all the Discworld Novels through my book hunting expeditions, so I haven’t started on any yet – well, wish me luck on that one. Thanks for also sharing those book bargains via Amazon. :)
I’ve been wanting to read something by Terry Pratchett. Enjoy your week!

These are new to me…but they sound enticing.
Thank you so much for the audible tip. I’ll try to find time to check it out. It actually might be fun for our library.
