ughhh, i have the mid-week blues.
all i can post for you today is this restorative mug of chai latte and some choxi+ chocolate and hope that you have a good book by your side to help you get through the mid-week slump.
what are you reading today by the way? i’ve just started kafka on the shore by haruki murakami, and it is un-put-downable (although i’ve had to in order to work, bah!).
does anyone have any book recommendations they’d like to share?
No don’t have the blues….sending you ((happy vibes)) If you want a book that is amazing and fun read summer sisters by Judy Bloom that is my favorite book of all time!!
I love the pic!
I’m a big fan of Dan Brown at the moment, I’m finishing up The Lost Symbol but I just finished reading Anna Karenina for the first time, AMAZING
Cold Comfort Farm xx
The last 4 I read, I coudn’t put down: Family History and Slow Motion, both by Dani Shapiro. The Kept man by Jami Attenberg and A Fortunate Age by Joanna Amith Rakoff.
Love your blog, from a fellow BYW-er.
I joined the Slow Readers Book Club and the first book, by Jeanette Walls, was not my usual pick of books, but I really enjoyed it.

The book club book is my next read. For some reason it was difficult to track down but finally I have it. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Oh I love Kafka on the Shore or anything by Haruki Murakami. I think I have read all of his books!
Have you read The Historian? Long book, but very, very good, about Dracula, but done in an intelligent way!
Ooo, no I haven’t but just googled it and it sounds really good! Another to add the the reading list! Thank you!
Hello! I just started reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. It’s really good! I also highly recommend the “Forgotten Garden” by Kate Morton. Loved it. Hope you get over your mid-week slump.
I haven’t read Kafka on the Shore but have read quite a few Murakami novels. I love him. Have u read Norwegian Wood?
Yes! I’m pretty sure it was the one that got me hooked on Murakami!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (3rd book to this Trilogy will be released this summer)…I am having a bit of mid-week blues too…
Great post, really enjoyed it, keep up the great work
Hi,
I read Murakami’s Kafka too and I couldn’t put it down either.. it is amazing..
If you liked this book, you will probably like his other works, Wild Sheep Chase and Norweigen Wood, especially.
Enjoy!
