What are You Reading NOw?: November 29, 2025

Wrapping up Sparks: China's Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future, to be followed by And Put Away Childish Things to finish the month. Starting out December with Vakhmistrov's Circus and The Forbidden Stars.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through one of Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly Books," The Betrothed.

I really don't have anything new on my shelf this week. I finished Child of the Prophecy by Juliet Marillier and Dyer Consequences by Maggie Sefton on last Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). Still working on Helen and Teacher by Joseph Lash and The Burning Time by Virginia Rounding and hope to finish them this month.

I finished The Betrothed by Sir Walter Scott. Next, from the "They Can't All be Classics" department, some light entertainment with The Slave Market of Mucar, the second entry in The Story of the Phantom series by Lee Falk, based on his popular comic strip.

I've been reading Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes but I need to switch to Blacktop Wasteland by S. A. Cosby for book club on Saturday!

From the library: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, translated by Richard Howard, 75th anniversary edition
Includes the original text and history and making of this classic children's book.
