I also started reading Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. I love cats and I love libraries, so this seemed like a slam dunk. It turns out that a 300 page book about a cat who lives in a library is too much for me... so I quit half way through.

And I started Bring Up the Bodies, the sequel to Wolf Hall, but had to return it to the library before I finished because it was not renewable.

Currently reading:  
Tolstoy, Leo - Anna Karenina
