Books read this week:

This has been a funny month so far.  I have a lot going on and my reading has not been as good as in previous months.  Plus, I seem to have an awful lot of books this month – it’s like I tried to deliberately sabotage myself (too many good books is the thing – I couldn’t resist).  I was determined to stay on track this year and apart from 3 or possibly 4 books that I’ve set aside (to be returned to) I was pretty much staying on track.  Anyway, long story short, on top of everything else going on I’ve started a language course in Portuguese, this is adding to my lack of personal time because it’s a bit intense and requires quite a lot of homework!  So, this week I read my final SPFBO book which means my reading for Phase 1 is now complete.  We’ll be posting our semi finalist post tomorrow and that will be followed up by the announcement of our finalist (as soon as all have completed their reading).  I also read a special edition of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.   This is a collector’s edition that I requested from Netgalley.  I really enjoyed this.  The book is incomplete – you have to try and guess the outcome following which the solution is sent to you (via email) in the form of a letter (I’m not sure how this will work with the final edition – but I liked this element)  Anyway, to satisfy your curiosity I guessed incorrectly – I’m kicking myself now because I did have a niggle irritating me but I didn’t trust that little warning bell.
