Outside A Dog

[Yes, I know! Finally! I'll be backdating this one, though, so it fits in 'properly' with the rest of the February stuff.]

Here’s the pile o’ books at the end of February:

The little pile on the left? That’s what I read — 13 books in that one.

The little pile on the right? Those are the books that snuck into my house when I wasn’t looking. [No, really!] But there’s only seven of them, so that’s a good thing, right?

This month’s reads — again, the ones in bold will be find a permanent spot on my shelves:

• Peony In Love by Lisa See
• Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
• Zoe Lucky and the Green Gables Mystery by M. Carol Coffey
• Dream When You’re Feeling Blue by Elizabeth Berg
• Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
• Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik
• Finding Happiness by Abbot Christopher Jamison
• The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears in Paris at the World’s Most Famous Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn
• What Does Your Doctor Look Like Naked?: Your Guide to Optimum Health by Dr. J. Warren Willey, II
• The Saffron Kitchen by Yasmin Crowther
• The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
  [Not to say this wasn't a great book -- I'd gladly collect all of her work if my shelves would allow me to do so.]
• Walking in Circles Before Lying Down by Merrill Markoe
• The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde

I’m hoping to get a flurry of reviews posted by Monday — I’m about three and a half books behind at the moment. Thank you, work.
