It is well known on my my love for British men. What is less well known is a long-time crush on Andre Agassi. Loved him when I was a teenager, something which continued until his retirement four years ago. Sigh. So, I was incredibly excited when Open showed up at the library for me today. I don’t care if it’s a good book (though it’d be nice if it was, kind of like Sting’s was…). I just want to enjoy Andre for a little bit longer. I’m shameless. 😀

Audiobooks:
I don’t often get audiobooks, but we’re going to Oklahoma for a couple of days over spring break, and our new mother-daughter book group is reading The Penderwicks. I thought it’d be a good way to enjoy the drive and get the reread out of the way. Then Hubby complained; he hasn’t read the second book, and wants to. Now we get to duke it out: which one to listen to while driving?!
The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy, by Jeanne Birdsall
The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, by Jeanne Birdsall
The roundup is either at Reading Adventures or A Striped Armchair. Obligatory FTC note: the links are provided through my Amazon Associates account. If you click through and actually purchase one of these books, I’ll get a teeny, tiny payment. But, since no one ever does, and it’s SO much easier using the associates account to put up these links, I’m going to keep doing it.
I wish my copy of Open would come into the library as well. Secretly, a little bit of a fangirl 😛

I just found your blog, thru Library Loot.
You do some nice reviews, I'll be back.
I love the idea of a mother-daughter book club.

I didn't do a library loot this week, but the day I read yours, I had just come from our library with a copy of Have You Ever Seen A Sneep? It was a cute book. I am not sure if my little girl got the humor in the end (she is 3). But, I laughed. I think she will get it if we read it some more.

I found the second Penderwicks book at my library the other day, but I haven't read the first so I'm not checking it out until I, uh, have. 😀 It looks like a fun series, though!
