Future plans include just reading. And maybe a jigsaw puzzle. 🙂
Just One More Page... 
Interesting round-up! Did you find Swing Time heavy going? I’ve just finished White Teeth, another Zadie Smith novel. I enjoyed it, but the style did leave me scratching my head occasionally.
I did find it slow progress. I’m not sure why, but I just couldn’t find the enthusiasm to finish it. (Even after about 250 pp!). Ahh well. I just chalked it up to “one of those reads”… :-}
