This week I’ll be starting Cross Talk by Connie Willis. It’s a book I got for Christmas, and have been looking forward to reading. I’ve read most of Connie Willis’ other books, but not all, so this will take me one book closer!
Here’s the publisher’s description:
Science fiction icon Connie Willis brilliantly mixes a speculative plot, the wit of Nora Ephron, and the comedic flair of P. G. Wodehouse in Crosstalk—a genre-bending novel that pushes social media, smartphone technology, and twenty-four-hour availability to hilarious and chilling extremes as one young woman abruptly finds herself with way more connectivity than she ever desired.
I’ll also be listening to The Hopefuls by Jennifer Close this week. It’s narrated by a woman in her early twenties, a newlywed living in DC, homesick for New York City life and flummoxed by her husband’s (and all of their new acquaintances’) obsession with politics after working on the Obama campaign.
Listen to an audio clip of The Hopefuls by Jennifer Close, read by Jorjeana Marie, on the publisher’s Web site.
Happy Monday!
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (#IMWAYR) is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome in, everyone. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at Book Date.
