Want to Read: Witold Rybczynski - The Most Beautiful House in the World

The author's story about building a home. I've read some of his other history and architecture books, which were great. It also sounds like this might be along the lines of Michael Pollan's "A Place of My Own", a favourite book about how architectural design works and feels.

Want to Read: Erin Morgenstern - The Night Circus

I remember reading a great review for this book, although I don't remember any specifics of what kind of novel it is. But I just saw an ad that it's out in paperback and ebook now, which reminds me that I did want to add it to my list.

Want to Read: Kristin Cashore - Bitterblue

Fantasy novel. Great review in Toronto Star. Third in series (so should read the other two first).

Read: Elizabeth Wein - Code Name Verity

Great review in the Toronto Star. Sounds like a mash-up of Connie Willis' WWII novels and Diana Gabaldon's historic adventures.

Update: read, twice. The style/language is initially a bit jarring, seems anachronistically crude/contemporary. But the power of the plot eventually kicks in, and it made me cry both times at the critical moment. 

Read: Diana Gabaldon - An Echo in the Bone

Have managed to get my addiction to this series more or less under control by limiting myself to only reading it on my iPhone, while riding transit. Find myself wishing for a longer commute...

Read: Diana Gabaldon - A Breath of Snow and Ashes

Have spent so many hours reading while promising I would stop after just another hour. Next thing you know, six hours have gone by...

Read: Diana Gabaldon - The Fiery Cross

Still hooked. Must stop reading and re-engage with the real world.
