A couple of years ago, it seemed everything I read involved WWII, so I actively avoided it last year.
But now I'm reading HHhH.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

James Patterson on encouraging kids to read
Aw, good for him. I read some of his books back in the day.
I was afraid it would be about how he thinks it's stupid to encourage kids to read, like that idiot who hates libraries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I'm reading Gooseberry Bluff, as one does, and the next section isn't coming out for three weeks?? The horror!!

I started it last night. I thought it was three weeks from the first release date, so two weeks from now?

That helps some. But still!

I'm almost done with A Brief History of Montmaray and now I'm panicking because I don't have the next one right here, right now.

That was AWESOME. (I finished it Friday night and never posted.) Also sad! But appropriate, and *also* hopeful and full of possibilities!
I'm going to finish Maisie Dobbs and wait for another paycheck before I think about the next Montmaray, though. See me being virtuous.
