Book Chatter

This is a little late, but hey, it’s still Sunday so I’m good. I’ve been very busy this weekend. I’ve been making lists and doing a bit of shopping which took up much of the weekend. In between it all I also managed to get quite a bit of reading done. It was wonderful.

While out shopping, I convinced myself that I need a Nikon D60. I have a wonderful Canon point-and-shoot but I have been wanting to get a bit more creative and I cannot decide if I want to go Canon again, or Nikon. Suggestions? Pros or cons?

Today at rehearsal for the holiday show, my daughter spent much of the time lip syncing all of the songs. She can’t read all of the lyrics so she just moves her mouth. My son was mortified. Pretty funny to watch. Should be really funny come show time if she has not learned the words by then.

It’s a beautiful day today, albeit a tad windy. I am having one of my unfocused days where all I want to do is catch-up on my reading pile but a pesky, little thing called “work” keeps getting in my way. So forgive me for my upcoming ramblings.

My book group met last night to discuss Infidel. You can read my review here. What I did not know about the book, is that it was ghost written by an unidentified female. Her identity cannot be shared since Ayaan Hirsi Ali is still receiving death threats. I’m surprised. I really had no idea that Ali has not written the book herself. Overall, the group was moved by her story and felt it to be a rewarding read. The discussion got a tad heated at times, since much of it has to do with religion but overall, a very good meeting.

I am really hungry right now. I could use a little something to nosh on. A nice little “nibbly bit.” Do you know what TV show that saying comes from? A gold star to anyone who guesses it.

It’s very quiet here today. I’m thinking I may be able to close my office door and sneak some reading in. You think?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
