Read Any Good Books Lately?


I wrote six poems in 8 days, well actually 5 poems and one Loose Thought before I quit.  It's okay, it was a test to see if I was ready, I am not.  I missed the words, perhaps why I am still in hiatus, I will start working through old poems, revising and submitting.   I will do what I normally do when this happens, I will read.  I will photograph.  I will doodle.  I will post my thoughts on the books I read.  Let me know if you have read any good books lately?

Try The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - I think I spelt that wrongly. Its a YA novel, but its one of the few books that makes me cry sometimes.

Just sayin'. How are you? I miss talking to you some days.

Hugs,
me.

"Like You'd Understand Anyway" by Jim Shepard. Short stories, and really good. Also Augusten Burroughs' "Running with Scissors," a hilarious memoir.
Hope things are well in your part of the world!

Arti,

I miss you talking to you too, I will buy the book, I am making a list of books for my next book run. I will look for you on-line this weekend. Very big hugs

Sarah,

I have added both to my book list, you are the second person who recommended Running With Scissors, I am in the middle of a David Sedaris right now, and I like of the thought of hilarity, I will move that one to the top of my
list. I am mostly groovy, just trying to keep my world mostly balanced, juggling and dropping a few balls here and there. Hope you are well and mostly groovy in your neck of the world.

hugs
