What I've Just Finished Reading
Lauren Esker's Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, which is a shifter romance (werewolves and weresheep, in this case), and very cute, although probably moreso if the tropes of shifter romance are your thing. Unfortunately the tropes that the genre focuses on seem to be the ones that don't do much for me, but that is a problem with the reader rather than the book.
What I'm Reading Now
Eugenia Ginzburg's Journey into the Whirlwind, yet another book about Stalin's purges and the gulag. I am getting a little gulag'ed out at this point, but I've been meaning to read this book for forever, so I will persevere. I'm going to take a break from the Terror after this, though.
What I Plan to Read Next
Still waiting for the library to get me a copy of the first Maryellen book. I am pining to read the latest American Girl series, library! Work with me here!
I'm also going to read Margaret Oliphant's Miss Marjoribanks. In fact I had it all queued up on my Kindle to start reading on my lunch break at work today, but then I forgot my Kindle at home. :(
On the bright side, I had lunch at Panera, and they have my favorite turkey cranberry flatbread again (it seems to be an autumn special!), so that was nice. And they have a new turkey, apple, and cheddar sandwich, which also looks intriguing, although I feel a bit dubious about the cranberry walnut bread that it comes on, although I'm not sure why, because it sounds like something I ought to like. I mean, it has cranberries in it, right? But the bread may not be sweet enough to mesh nicely with the sweet dried fruit.
