So, yeah. This week's excitement. Do you recognize this stuff?
Uh huh. Colonoscopy is booked for Tuesday. Which means I'll be spending Monday on the toilet.
So. Much. Fun.
If you missed my FIRST colonoscopy stories in 2010...
HERE is the prep.
HERE is the day.
SOME GOOD BOOKS
I've had a string of really good books from the library. I read most books on my tablet, so I get an email from the library when a book I've had "on hold" arrives for me. It gets to be very awkward when two or three books arrive within days of each other. Books that were wait-listed cannot be renewed - they just poof disappear on their expiry date. At times like that, housework goes out the window (although, to be honest - housework's proper place IS out the window).
The Alice Network, by Kate Quinn. This is about a network of women spies. The story flips back and forth, to cover connected stories...between WWI and 1947. It includes lots of suspense, and enough romance to keep things interesting.
This Is How It Always Is, by Laurie Frankel. I was engrossed by the end of the third paragraph. Seriously! This book grabbed me and did not let go for one single minute - beginning to end. It's about a family: mom, dad, five kids. The youngest child turns out to be transgender. It's funny, emotional, heartbreaking, romantic, and incorporates a running fairy tale. An excellent story from cover to cover.
The City Baker's Guide to Country Living, by Louise Miller. This book also grabbed me right away. After all, I was just in France on a chef's tour, and I entertain you with enough cooking and zucchini stories that you KNOW I enjoy time in my kitchen. The chef in question is a woman who creates an, um, incident at her place of employment. She beats a hasty retreat to Vermont looking for a little solace from her long-time friend. I haven't finished this yet, but the first half of the book has been great.
