Well, I think I've finally clawed my way out of the reading slump I was in for several weeks there. For a while I just couldn't settle down to any one book long enough to finish it, but I'm doing a little better now and hope to get a few reviews posted this week. Here's how things stand at the moment:
- Recently Finished:
The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady by Elizabeth Stuckey-French (a very quirky and entertaining read)
Cynthia's Attic: The Missing Locket by Mary Cunningham (cute fantasy novel for the pre- and young-teen set)
- Reading This Week:
Art and Madness by Anne Roiphe (1970s-era memoir)
A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey (vintage mystery novel by one of the greats)
Tassy Morgan's Bluff by Jim Stinson (an Early Reviewer book from Library Thing)
- Up Next:
Mr. Chartwell by Rebecca Hunt (another Early Reviewer book from LT - arrived several months late)
Emily, Alone by Stewart O'Nan (one of those "whim" books from our local public library's new books shelf)

The revenge of the radioactive lady sounds like a funny, quirky read. Have also heard good things about Mr Chartwell.
I really want to try the Josephine Tey books. I love vintage mystery. Here's mine:

Ah hah! This is a great list. I'm really interested in Radioactive Lady and Chartwell. I'm finishing up a bit of historical fiction and shamelessly overindulging in a whole bunch of Bret Easton Ellis...Hey, it's Mother's Day...week, right?
I love mysteries, but I never tried a vintage one. I really should. The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady sounds really good.
I'm glad that you are coming out of your reading slump. You did read an interesting variety of books. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!
I have Art and Madness in my TBR file. I will watch for what you have to say!
Here is my Monday Post

I'm glad your reading slump is over! Radioactive Lady sounds so good!
Glad you've gotten out of the reading slump, Joy! Those things are the worst. I've got the Radioactive Lady on my TBR list and I love Josephine Tey, so I hope you enjoy that one.
Here's my Monday: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_09.html
I have Revenge of the Radioactive Lady on my wishlist. My list this week is inflated with picture books that I read with my daughter and manga that I read over my morning coffee. Come see what I'm reading this week.
I've been seeing Radioactive Lady around a lot and I'm so so tempted to try it!
Hope you have a fabulous reading week and if you get a second stop my to see what I've been reading at There's A Book! :)
Glad to hear you are out of your reading slump!
These all sound good, especially Tassy Morgan's Bluff and Mr. Chartwell. I will have to add them to my list!
