Still working on First Ladies: Presidential Historians on the Lives of 45 Iconic Women by Susan Swain and C-SPAN.

Started Alexander Chee's The Queen of the Night a couple of days ago and hate having to do anything other than read it. A+ historical fiction (even though one scene prompted intense eye roll action) based in Paris with loads of debauchery and enchanting prose.

Hoping to get into some of the comics I've got stacked on my coffee table to finish out #comicsFebruary before we call a wrap on the month.

If all goes to plan, I'll finally post my review on The Improbability of Love & The Bronte Plot later this week because it's seriously been sitting in my draft list for TWO WEEKS and that's just unacceptable.

Started and finished The Bronte Plot by Katherine Reay this weekend, so look out for a post of mini reviews with my thoughts on it, and The Improbability of Love, later this week.

Started First Ladies: Presidential Historians on the Lives of 45 Iconic American Women by Susan Swain on Friday and have gotten as far as the 28th-- there were two, Edith, and then Ellen Wilson. It's fascinating and has pushed me to do some more reading featuring American history. C-Span pulled the book together by taking pieces from the televised programs created for each of the first ladies in order to give a basic overview of their personalities and legacies. Pretty excited that I'll have something to watch once I'm finished. Learn more (and watch) here: http://firstladies.c-span.org/.

Hoping to get into Girl Through Glass by Sari Wilson after finally getting it in at the library.

And, of course, the large stack of comics I hope to add between longer reads. (insert smiley emojis)

All and all, I'm thinking it's going to be a promising week in the reading department!

A Post: Weekly Reads / 02.01.2016

I love taking pictures. I love books. I really love taking pictures of books.

Each Monday I'll be sharing an image of some of the things I'll be reading during the week.

February begins with me continuing  The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild, which I AM LOVING for so many reasons. Art, food, history, and London!?!? Yes! All my favorite things in a cleverly written page turner.

And I'll be celebrating the start of #ComicsFebruary with graphic novel finds from my local library.

Cat Person by Seo Kim and The Great American Documents: Volume 1: 1620-1830 by Ruth Ashby are just two in my very large stack for the month ahead.

Whimsical meets serious historical fun. Can't wait!

What are you reading this week?
