Good morning (for eleven more minutes).
We’ve been away, traveling the west coast…very fun…a fair amount of reading. I may or may not comment more on it later, but what I read while I was gone was:
Nevil Shute’s The Rainbow and the Rose – an absolutely wonderful book, a reread for me…you can NEVER go wrong with Nevil Shute…a master storyteller.
The Leaving (by somebody I can’t remember) – this was one of the novels they sent Mum when she took the ICL course. It was well written, but kind of depressing…
Love Among the Walnuts by Jean Ferris (I think that’s the author, but it’s still packed in my suitcase, so I can’t check) – I liked this…it’s told in a strange sort of way that I can’t exactly describe…but The Penderwicks had this feeling too…
Size Twelve is Not Fat and Every Boy’s Got One by Meg Cabot (loved the first one, the second one was like watching the WB, or what I imagine watching the WB to be like since I never have watched it, except for when I used to watch Reba and that was only because my friend’s wife was on it and it actually turned out to be a pretty funny show…but I digress)
I think that might’ve been it. Our vacations usually are day hikes followed by an early return to our room/house/wherever we’re staying and reading the evening away, but this trip was packed. Really, truly packed. It was fun, but not what I’m used to! We did get some hiking in though, even if I didn’t get to read as much as I usually do.
I have about 30 new YA library books to read over the next month or two also, and I’m looking forward to that.
Anyway, I hope everyone’s reading well and having a great summer…I will be reading my workshop group’s manuscripts and my craft books for the next week or so to get ready for Darcy’s workshop, so I may not have much to write about on here…we’ll see.
cheers,
Joelle
