I have lots of thoughts in my head, swirling around, but I don’t really know how or whether to put them down today.
Yesterday, I was not productive. I did go to the bookstore, but apparently wasn’t in the mood to buy anything because I left without spending my $25 gift card. I need some good book suggestions (fiction or otherwise) from anyone who’s got them. What have you read, say in the last year, that was really worth your time?
I spent most of the afternoon at my sister’s house, hanging out with the gang over there. I got to hold Jason while he was awake in the afternoon, his little blue eyes moving slowly back and forth. We walked and sang and talked and then I gave him back to his mom when he got hungry. That’s the best part of being the aunt! Anyway, I may end up back over there today sometime, but I do need to get a few things done at my own house today.
The evening wasn’t eventful. Eric was very late again (7:30!), so I waited as long as I could, but ate dinner without him. I watched some television, then cleaned up the kitchen and did some bible study. Eric came down to chat for a while, too. We goofed off at the computers for a while, and then we headed to bed.
I think that’s all I’ve got for now…happy Thursday!
^kimberly, why? I
francine. do you?
i’m trying to think of any books, but i’m coming up empty.
I hope your swirly thoughts begin to settle so you can share more with us.
For a fun fiction read, not deeply thought-provoking, but a great story, I enjoyed Colleen McCullough’s The Touch.
Did you really just recommend Francine Rivers?
^That series is good…but Francine Rivers’ Mark of the Lion series is awesome…^
My favorite fiction book series is a modern day telling of the Story of Jacob & Esau, Leah & Rachel… The first book is called Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs– Here’s a link to it….http://www.lizcurtishiggs.com/Fiction/Thorn/thorn.htm…
My all-ime faves are Clavell….Shogun, Tai-pan, Noble House. His ‘Asia series. Awesome characters, setting, story…..I re-read them regularly.
Also, if you’ve never read them, Diana Gabaldon…Oh. My. Goodness. A blow-your-mind, can’t wait to read the next one time-traveling historical romance series. And…McMurtey’s Lonesome Dove. Awesome story and characters.
Smutty romance novels all the way.
Being an aunt is fun, isn’t it? The giving them away part is particularly nice at times.
I couldn’t tell you the last fiction book I’ve read. Sad.
I liked Azar Nafisi’s “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” if you’ve not read it. Interesting and well-written. Clearly, Marla’s book about kissing as well (see the running commentary on my blog from yesterday).
