I’m behind on everything. I’m also up at 10:30pm and have decided that I can’t do what I got up to do so I might as well catch up on the books before another three days go by and I’ve got to blog six books instead of two.
First, The Dead Beat. I saw this mentioned in a forum thread on the BlogHer Book Club group and reserved it at the library. I liked it but it wasn’t compelling. It wasn’t drop dead funny, either. So I kept putting it down rather than reading it straight through.
I’ll tell you what it did cause though – it caused me to spend a ton of time reading the obits of the little local paper. They were fabulous! It also has caused me to consider reading the Chicago Trib’s obits. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have no free time for obit fixations.
(By the way, you should definitely join the BlogHer Book Club group – it’s fun! Really.)
Next, I read Infinity in the palm of her hand because A) I got it for TW and she seemed to enjoy it B) I got it for me because it is a creation story and I am a sucker for a good creation story.
This one didn’t let me down. Nice Adam & Eve story. I liked it a lot.
Hey, what they heck were you doing up at 10:30 lady? Travel safely today…and through the rest of your travels too. Enjoy every minute. I’ll be thinking about you….
Jory’s leaving today….she’s getting herself together right now. Yesterday’s conference went very well….long day. Honest to God….one of these days when she comes in town…all of us ARE actually going to get together and hang out. That’s my on my wish list…..and hers too. Big hugs, Joy
