BLOGGING: It's Tuesday, Where Are You?

Summer is rolling along very nicely here in PEI. Lots of lazing around, a bit of visiting, watching soccer and baseball, fun family get-togethers, amazing weather, and plenty of time for reading. It gets hard to go back to work in the fall after settling into a very slow-paced life.

I just bought a farm in Spain! I'm giving up my life in England and moving to Spain.(If only this were true, and not just the nonfiction book I started reading) (Driving Over Lemons, by Chris Stewart)

I'm also back in Newfoundland in the 1980s as the Ocean Ranger went down. Does anyone else remember this disaster? (February, Lisa Moore)

Hi!
I love the title of that book, Driving Over Lemons. Don't remember the disaster. I'm going to have to check these two books out. Have a great day!

The title drop happened in the first chapter. The author is talking about all the items on the road - animals and children and as he tries to maneuver around a pile of lemons, his guide barks at him 'drive over lemons!'. It's pretty amusing and the author is described as 'bill bryson like' which was a selling point for me.

I am in the England of the future, where cats are extinct, where time travel is possible and all sorts of fun ensues. (To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis)

It sounds like you're having a great summer! I'm not familiar with either of your books/locations - although I did enjoy Marg's time and place a number of years ago!

I've posted my literary location here.
