I love to read and my stack of yet-to-read books has left me uninspired. I was reading
Raffi's biography which was an unexpected one to find (Raffi is a popular children's singer that generations have loved) but it was fizzling out toward the end and is still sitting on my nightstand. I enjoyed some of his insights, history about his Armenian background, and how he came to working with children, especially since he has no children of his own, but his lengthy commentary on environmentalism was a bit much. So then I picked up
The Lace Reader but it's not hitting the spot.
The Help is ready for pickup at the library and I've heard this is a good one. I saw the movie trailer and it looks like an inspiring yet sad story.
Recommendations for fall reading? Leave me a comment.
I spent time yesterday uncovering old knitting projects and organizing my craft area as part of re-organizing Maggie's room to make it more toddler-friendly and not just geared toward being a baby. I got my sewing repairs done and now I should tackle my gone-by-the-wayside craft projects before I start anything new.
Two recent favorites:
ReplyDeleteEat, pray, love and the Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Society.
Another one that I can read again and again and again is the Far Pavilions. That book is so richly and eloquently written, I can't put it down. It's about India during the time of the English colonization.
All of them are light reads, and the first two are done before you start them, it seems! The last one is quite long, which I love.
Thanks Daria. I've read EPL but not the other two, sent off for them from the library.
