Books and Plans
This book came in the mail yesterday. I don’t really know anything about it but I found it online for something like $3.00 and I just couldn’t pass that by. I was so pleased that it even came with the bookmark. I ordered another Persephone for about the same price but that hasn’t arrived yet. I had told myself that I wasn’t going to order any more books for a while but then my husband came home and told me about an interview he had listened to on the BBC. It was with an author I have never heard of but he said it was very interesting and that it…

Don’t Let Monday Get You Down
It’s Monday. It’s raining. It’s not spring here yet. But that is okay because for once in my life I am going for optimism and a positive outlook. Just don’t place any bets on how long that positive outlook will last. Here are a few happy things that have happened in my life lately. My husband and I went out for breakfast. It was midweek, we were both busy, but we met up and had a delicious breakfast and some nice conversation. If I was a fancy blogger this is where you would get an arty picture of eggs. Since I am not fancy you will just have to imagine…

Things I Don’t Like
I don’t like large parties. A few people are fine, any more than that is torture. I don’t like idle chatter. I don’t like alcohol. I would rather have a nice cup of tea.

Books I Have Acquired Lately
Notice I did not say books I bought. That is because I didn’t buy most of them. I found them on free racks at the library and thrift stores. A lot of people seem to be giving away books lately. I’m not going to complain. So here we go, this is what I have acquired in the last few weeks. First up is All My Patients Are Under The Bed by Dr. Louis J. Camuti. It is the memoirs of a cat doctor. I seriously doubt it can compete with the James Herriot books which I have loved since childhood but you never know. It was free, I’ll give it…

Book Memories
I typed the title of this post and then paused, slightly stumped by the fact that most of my life is made up of book memories. That is what happens when you are a book obsessive from birth onward. If I wrote about all of the memories that come to mind we could be here for days. I will spare you that and stick with what originally inspired the title. You can thank me for my restraint in the comments. It was book fair week at my daughter’s school. Just like when I was a child, book fair week is also the week of parent-teacher conferences. And just like when…
