I never usually have more than one book going at a time, but at the moment I have three and I'm listening to one on CD.

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson: I've written a little about this book before because I actually started it way back in January. It is interesting, but I've been in the mood for some fiction this summer. I will finish this book--it's fascinating.

A Room with a View by E.M. Forster: I recently watched the Masterpiece Theatre version and wanted to read the book--I know I'm doing it wrong. You're supposed to read the book before the movie comes out. Oh well. It's actually not that hard of a read, but I got sidetracked and started on...

Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince (AKA HP#6) by J.K. Rowling: one Saturday I spent watching HP movies and crocheting. I haven't read 6 and 7 but one time and I couldn't remember many of the details. So I am a little over halfway through this one. it's very entertaining and this book has a lot of little side stories about the crushes that Harry, Ron and Hermione have on various people. It's fun, easy and perfect for summertime and the week of your sister's wedding! :)

And finally, I'm listening to Peony in Love by Lisa See. She wrote Snowflower and the Secret Fan (see blog from last October). The story follows a girl who is betrothed to a man. She doesn't find out who he is until it's too late. In the meantime she meets a poet and falls in love with him, she becomes lovesick for him and well I won't spoil anymore of the story. It's well-written just like Snowflower and again I'm learning even more about Chinese culture through this book.
