Books and Nooks and Kindles

Stiff comes highly recommended by Al.   A bit of a dark topic; deals with the reality of undertaking ....

Bonk ....interesting topic for sure.   All about sex in a NPR kind of way.

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
This book is being read by several young women that I know.  The author is on the OFFICE TV show. I hear it is a pretty hilarious read.

Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness.....very highly recommended by friend Linda who loves all things Africa...

The Swamp, was being read by the fellow sitting next to me on the flight home from Virginia.   I gather it has to do with Florida politics after reading the whole title.

As for me, I'm reading patterns. Patterns and Knit books.  and blogs....

What are you reading this weekend?

I'm reading Living Dead in Dallas from the Sookie Stackhouse series. I've only seen a few of the episodes of True Blood which is the basis for the book. It has way more sex and violence than the books.

I agree that some things are best left to the imagination.

"My Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. And as for the Mary Roach books? I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are, every one, fascinating.

I just finished up the "50 Shades" trilogy. The third book was very disappointing. I ruined the whole fantasy.

I am currently 80% through "Hunger Games". The games are disturbing

I am reading Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible on my Nook! Trying to find the next good memoir or cozy up fiction that I can't put down.

Now that I'm home, I'm reading blogs and email. Before that, I read service dialogues and other exciting things...

Sounds like you had a great trip East! Right now I'm reading Wild, the author's story of hiking the length of the Pacific Crest Trail--alone and a spy novel.

I am reading New Tricks by David Rosenfelt. He writes about a lawyer who is wealthy and can defend anyone he wants. This case he is defending a Golden Retriever that is about to be put down. Great, tight courtroom drama even though it doesn't sound like it!

Also listening to Lincoln Child's The Third Gate. Weird!!!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
