I wanted to post a few words about the poor people that got caught in the bombs that went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. As far as I know everyone that was hurt or killed was a spectator. I don't know how many might be tourists and worse yet I don't think they have anyone in custody yet. I live about 7 miles away from Boston and work about 10 miles away. It was a very somber day here but we "Bostonians" will forge ahead and not let these crazy people stop us from doing the things that we want to do everyday.
On a more positive note days like yesterday are why I love to read. When the bad news is bombarding you from every direction sometimes you just have to shut it down and pick up a good book!
I hope everyone is having a good day today!

Hello everybody!

What have you all been up to? How is your summer reading going and all. What have you read, how much did you enjoy it?

I recently finished Pride and Prejudice for the summer challenge and it was a great read:) I highly recommend it, it is a must read classic.

I am currently reading two books - The English Girl by Daniel Silva and Fin and lady by Cathleen Schine and listening to Sweet Salt Air by Barbara Delisnky. I am also going to pick up the much talked about The Son by Philipp Meyer which I reserved at the library and which came in yesterday.

I used to be a one book woman but in the last few years I got into audio books and with the kindle it's so easy to bring that along and then there's one of my loves, the library where I reserve way too much so I am a reading machine. But to tell the truth I don't think I really do justice to the books I read at the same time and maybe soon will cut this down to reading one and listening to one.

I tried reading one book at a time but no it does not work. I have to read at least two books at the same time. I cannot get into audio books yet, I have to read the word not just listen.

I have seen The Son around a lot and I like what I have read from the back so I will keep a look out on it. I am currently reading The Seeds of A Daisy and The Emerald Talisman. Both are very good and I am enjoying them.
