As promised, there is quite the list of "read" titles this week! In fact, I think I'll dub it "The Week of Reading". With everything going on, it was EXACTLY what I needed to take a mental vacation.....ever need one of those? Anyway, time to share what's going on in my reading world and maybe add a few things to your wish list. ^_^
Books I've read this week
Return of the Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley
Humour
(I adore bunnies, and this book appeals to my strange sense of humour. It kept me smiling during a treatment.)
Children's
(I needed a tissue at the end. I always tear up for PC's, but this is the last in the series!)

(Cammie's life at spy school is hilarious. This was recommended by a very dear friend. Reading this made my heart monitor beep during a treatment, which made me laugh even more. ^_^)

The Vampire Hunters by Pete Johnson
Children's 9+
(Being half a vampire is tricky - learning how to flit [transformation for flying] is extremely difficult for Marcus.)

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
Young Adult, Urban Fantasy
(I'm getting into this a lot more now, and beginning to like Clary more...though I do alternate between liking her and hating her.)
That's it for this week! I don't expect there to be such a long list next week, as I'm back to work on 31st, but there will hopefully be a couple of good reads! 17 books isn't bad going.
