What are you planning to read this weekend? Everything counts! Menus, maps and mysteries included.

I will attempt to read all of tumblr. I will fail in this attempt, but I will have made much progress before I give up.

As much Harry Potter as I can. I have a fic idea that I need to canon review for.

I am not going to be reading much, though, on account of sister's wedding is tomorrow.

Just started my approximately decennial reread of Calvocoressi, Wint and Pritchard. Loving Peter Calvocoressi's incisive academic just ever so slightly snarkiness.

Some of Ghosts of Cannae, Trickster Makes this World and Rome's Revolution.

If I'm feeling particularly daring, I will also read from Le jardin des silences and Beyond Cannae.

If a miracle happens, I will read those PDFs.

Eva Luna, by some author whose name should not have escaped me.

Maybe we could ask for a joint miracle, and I can get one (or more, the giddy thought) of my PDFs read as well.

No miracle on my end. You?

nope. Started a reread on a Pratchett novel that one of my kids left on the coffee table instead.

It did not. Sister's wedding ate all the energy. Maybe today.

Thank you. Didn't read a lot, unfortunately.

Pratchett is also good.

yes. unfortunately, child in question appears to have tidied up the book, and it must have been a library one. Now I have to source a copy, to find out what happens! (Reaper Man, which apparently I haven't read, or did so so long ago that I don't remember anything about it).

a couple of pages read. The next little bit is going to be hard going.

Author is Isabel Allende.

Reaper Man was my first Discworld book! I love it so, so much.

I'm enjoying it. But the Tiffany Aching books are possibly my favourites. Or some of the later 'what can I parody today'. Or Monstrous Regiment. ... I'm not good at favourites!
