Well, I never did get to the beach last weekend. I totally forgot that my daughter had my car so I just stayed home and watched TV and read for a bit. It was 105 degrees so those activities suited me just fine. I finished Beartown. I didn’t love it. I know that is an unpopular opinion but I really expected to love it. My review is here.
I wasn’t planning to read Irving’s new one until closer to its release date but how can you not read Irving when you have a review copy staring you in the face? It’s nearly 1000 pages so I am really looking forward to it. It’s been so long since I’ve read a chunkster. Click on the cover above to read more about the book.
I’ve been pretty busy and somewhat productive but I am in a weird mood. I get antsy if I sit still for too long but staring out into space is oddly comforting right now too. I try to balance the two! Work, work, work, stare off into space. Ha ha.
Tonight my book club was supposed to meet to discuss Crying in H Mart. However, a scheduling conflict came up so it looks like this meeting will happen, possibly, in September instead. I bought snacks from H Mart this past Saturday but I can always eat them myself. Ha!
There are so many awesome books coming out this fall. Which one do you have your eyes on?
It’s been a minute since giving you a Root Beer update so here she is in all her glory. Every day my son takes her for a stroll around Everett, WA. They particularly like the waterfront and since it doesn’t get dark until nearly 9pm they have plenty of time to roam the neighborhood and that is what they do.
