Ok, I'm going to jettison The Jane Austen Book Club. It's annoying me. It doesn't meet Nancy Pearl's Rule of 50 I'm afraid.

Tonight I shall start AKA: The Battle Within by Jason Akermanis and Gary Smart.

I currently am reading Wickett's Remedy by Myla Goldberg. I am hoping to finish it in the next day or two. Then I'll be moving on to Monica Pradhan's The Hindi-Bindi Club.
