In other news, I sold my 3 ½ month old piglet. While he was fun to have around, he was draining my time too much and there was stuff coming up where I wouldn't be around to take care of him so it was best for both of us to part ways. The picture though is a quick collage I pulled together just to see how he had grown in the time I had him. When I got him he was a half starved couple week old piglet but by the time he left he was quite the porky chap. :)
So reading... actually I've been doing pretty well with it this week. No books finished but I'm almost done with two that I'm reading.

Nice to see your thoughts on King Solomon's Mines- I've always been partial to the lost world stories and so would probably like this one. I may have to look for it... I like that it appears to be just a solid adventure story with an old world sensibility.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is! :)
DeleteGood luck with your exams!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

Thanks!
DeleteGood luck with your tests! Looks like you're reading some great books right now, I'll have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Morgan! :)
DeleteWhat a cute piglet! And what other name could he possibly have but Wilbur? :) Have a great week, and blessings on your test!
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
Deletegave up on Cooper, but Hugo is one of my favorite authors, plus I was born in the same city as him!!
ReplyDeleteYeah... Cooper is pretty tedious... he has some beautiful writing but he breaks a lot of the rules. I liked Les Miserables though and I'm looking forward to reading Hunchback of Notre Dame soon. :)
DeleteDear Lois, I am new to your blog and it looks like a place where I will find good book reviews. I am also a Christian and we seem to have similar taste in books. I may join the Victorian book challenge as well. The PBS show, Death Comes to Pemberly, was wonderful. Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I haven't seen the PBS show yet because I wanted to wait to read the book. My Dad has it on the DVR all ready for me to watch though when I'm done. :)
