What Are You Reading?

Another book came in the mail today. Who needs Christmas when you have Amazon, right? 
I'm asked so often, "What are you reading?"  That I should feature it as a weekly blog post! (As if!) Honestly I've been really busy with work lately so I have been falling into bed like the dead, with no time to read. #WTF Sad, right?  But when I do get a bit of a break I'm happily reading anything in my new stack. I don't have much time to read, but I can still order books, lol  #TreasuresFromAmazon

Currently I'm reading a wonderful book on Japanese Prints.

And

Ms. Harris, as you may recall, wrote the novels the True Blood television saga was based on. I love her twist on southern life (and death) and her characters. Life in the South is very different and usually is portrayed rather lackluster, but her characters really jump off the page! This is her newest narrative taking place not in Louisiana, as the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries did, but in Texas.  I heard a rumor that it is being filmed as a new mini series. I googled and look here - it's being filmed right up the street from me! Can't wait to see it. In the meantime the 3rd book (thats the 2nd book pictured) has just been released. Amazon is shipping it right now...

The other book I'm reading is on Japanese Prints. It is a lovely illustrated book I am so glad to add to my collection. I have a good size assortment of art books, mostly the old masters and impressionist art with a few "art theory" books thrown in for good measure, lol. But sadly not much about Eastern Art, other than museum guides. 

How lovely is that?

Some of these prints are world famous...but I really didn't know that much about them.

Well I knew a little, but not the whole story.

I have been lucky to see many of these prints in the British Museum in London.

So what are you reading? And how many books do you usually read at once?  

I'm so swamped with work I will need another vacation soon, lol. I'm got a few short trips planned for March that I can't wait to share with you.  In the meantime I'm gonna read and catch up on my sleep. 

See you at the airport-
