What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
Good, if I have time at work I will have some good reading today. Mahalo!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading (grading) kids' papers and I'm always reading at least one book. Right now it's a creepy one that I can't read right before bedtime. I had to turn on an old episode of Friends last night in order to be able to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Eleanor & Park, a young adult novel by Rainbow Rowell, who happens to be a cousin of mine. It is a wonderfully well written novel, about two 16-year-olds and their journey as they fall madly and deeply in love, meeting and beating obstacles along the way, and hoping that their love can last forever. Now I'm going to start Rainbow's first novel,a novel written for adults called Attachments. I hope it is as good as Eleanor & Park. I also sadly bought two books about prostate cancer, since hubby was just diagnosed. We are beginning a totally different kind of journey today than Eleanor & Park experienced, as we're heading out this morning for CT and PET scans. Wish us luck. (I think one of the reasons I loved E&P so much, is because it reminded me of hubby & my own's experience as we fell in love as teenagers, over 40 years ago. Sometimes that first love does last!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered Phillipa gregory's a respectacle trade...loving it...want to go home and continue:(
ReplyDeleteI'm reading lightweight fiction these days and really enjoying the relaxation. I also enjoyed your link to the 50 date-night ideas; I got some great ideas for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a fun romance story as well as a very good book called The Compulsive Overeater. I also do daily read books for both Al-Anon and OA and those are always good. Funny how the day I pick to read is exactly what I need to see at that exact moment. Cracks me up every time!
ReplyDeleteGreat articles, thanks for sharing, I am reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I usually have about 3 books going and pick one depending on my mood each day.
