Life | Book Chatter

The other day I was thinking (stifle your giggles, please) about why I like to visit blogs and it really comes down to something quite simple. My main reason for visiting a blog is usually the blogger. There is a connection there or I can really hear his/her voice when she writes. I also enjoy personal tidbits. I know this is an area of controversy because some bloggers are very strict about not posting anything too personal, but I really enjoy those little hints of who they really are.

In an effort to be more open, I was wondering if there is anything you’d like to know about me. This is of course hinging on the idea that people would like to know more about me. This is where it could get embarrassing. What if no one responds? What if I hear nothing but crickets? Well, that would be a story in and of itself, wouldn’t it?

So, if there is something you’d like to know about me, ask me in comments or email me if it’s one of those super-secret questions that you would only ask in confidence. I’ll answer them in a post, or over a few posts depending on how many questions I get.

If no one asks anything I will crawl off and seek counseling immediately. Just kidding. Oh my, I can already hear the crickets.

I am still a bit distracted and all over the place with my thoughts so to keep this brief, I will provide a list of what’s going on:

Jill and I loved The Devil’s Star by Nesbo so now we are reading his next, US release (The Snowman). However, we realized yesterday that there is a book in between that has yet to be released here in the US. This gave us pause but you know what? We don’t care.
I announced this past week that the Indie Lit Awards are back for another year of great reading. Check out the post because we’ll need your nominations come September and if you are in a position to promote the awards, please do so. We’d really appreciate it.
It’s raining heavily right now in Southern California. So much so, that I have water pouring into one of my dining room windows. Get out the buckets!
I am about to drop The Girl off at her friend’s house for a play date, but the mom was like… “maybe come at noon” then she was like, “maybe come later” and then she was like, “maybe she can come for a little bit.” I honestly don’t know if I am supposed to drop her off or not. I’ve called and left messages but no one ever picks up. I guess I’ll find out when I drop her off. I have to remind myself that everyone is not like me. I’m a planner and not everyone is.
I went to the mall yesterday for a girl fix and bought all sorts of girlie lotions and then when I got home I realized that I don’t like any of them, so I am going back to the mall to return them all. I’m sticking with my Philosophy stuff.
Tonight I am making pork chops (wait for it) and apple sauce.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday! As rainy as our weather is, I’d take it over a work day. No doubt about that.

Chatting with friends about books and life…
