I just have to share: I passed my big, scary, future-determining licensure tests! I'm so happy, and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
In honor of this happy event, I am going to do the meme that Simon at Stuck in a Book started. Apologies in advance for helping perpetuate the ever-growing TBR piles.
1. Book I am currently reading: Sense and Sensibility (for the Classics Circuit Author duel), The Iliad (for Allie's readalong), and I am listening to Dragonfly in Amber
2. Last book I finished: South Riding. It was amazing; I am in literary love with Winifred Holtby; drop everything and read it now!
3. Next book I want to read: Um...The next one I will probably start is The Idiot (which I am reading for another of Allie's readalongs); I really want to read The Name of the Wind and Violets in March. I'm also itching to reread The Hunger Games series. Clearly I can't decide.
4. Last book I bought: Does a free book count? I downloaded Passage to India for my Kindle; the last book I paid money for was The Idiot.
5. Last book I was given: I won Children of Scarabaeus in Angie's giveaway and The Lost Summer of Louisa Alcott over at Devourer of Books.

Congratulations!!!
South Riding was the one last book I wanted to tuck in my suitcase before leaving London. My husband put his foot down (the bag was already too heavy), but I should've bought it anyway...
Congratulations! How is the audio version of Dragonfly in Amber? I keep meaning to get back into the Outlander series, but I've still only read book one!
Congratulations about your tests! :D And I got that copy of Passage to India, too-- I'm really looking forward to reading it.
Thanks, Anastasia!
And thanks, too, to JoAnn and Lisa. Sorry your comments disappeared!
I'm thoroughly enjoying South Riding on PBS Sunday evenings. I didn't even know it was a book until I started seeing bloggers post about it! Thanks for the advice, I think I'll have to pick it up. I, too, like a character to admire.
And, congratulations on passing your exam!
Thanks, Bellezza. I just adored South Riding; I am enjoying the Masterpiece adaptation, but the book is so much richer!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Congratulations, and thanks for playing! S&S might be my favourite Austen.. it battles out with P&P.

Oooo, interesting, Simon! And your blog still has a special place in my heart as it played such an instrumental role in inspiring me to start my own blog ;)
Congrats on your tests! I can't wait to hear what you think about THE NAME OF THE WIND. :)
Thanks, Amy. I think I will have to wait for The Name of the Wind until June. Life is just so crazy!
