BLOGGING: It's Tuesday, Where Are You?
Good Morning! I'm loving this summer living, at the soccer pitch, and at the baseball field, reading books between innings. We finally had some lovely warm summer days. It rained again, again! this morning, but was nice by the afternoon.
In reading, I am in small town Wisconsin, unaware that I will grow up to be the first lady. It's pretty much small town life in the 1950s right now. (American Wife, Curtis Sittenfield)
I finally got out of that Burmese jail - it was a harrowing few weeks in The Lizard Cage (Karen Connolly)
Where is reading taking you? Leave a comment, write a post, spread the word.
Good morning to you as well. I have American Wife in my stack but haven't read it yet. I'll look for your thoughts.
