I am still alive, but actually, I have been in a hole. A Harry Potter hole. I somehow didn’t get HP #5 on CD, so I read that one. Then I listened to all of #6 except the climax because for some reason, I was missing those chapters on my iPod! It was all good though. One fortuitous thing about listening to them is that I could listen when I had a headache. I can’t read much when I do, so this was a highly entertaining way of getting through the headache. I sat on the porch and watched wildlife while I listened. Did you know squirrels take naps? Me neither! But one just stretched out on a branch and lay there for thirty minutes. Then he was up and away, completely refreshed. They either don’t have eyelids or it’s not safe to close their eyes though because the whole time I could see his, like brown M&Ms.
Anyway, I digress. I just picked up my first non-HP book in a while. It’s called MILLIONS. I have only read about four pages and I am so in love with this book I can hardly stand it. You might remember me raving about Frank Cottrell Boyce’s other book, FRAMED not long ago. I wish I could write like this guy.
Reading anything good this summer? I’ve got a huge pile to get through.
