Under Construction

I will return to regular posts soon.

As for reading, let's see: recent book that I'm having to give up on because it is hard to get into--The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Goff. But I shall return to it! I can't keep it around the house forever; I don't want to deprive library patrons with more patience than I have right now the opportunity to enjoy this title, which has received rave reviews.

Currently reading, for my book group: After This by Alice McDermott. Reading her prose, in this novel anyway, is like biting into a piece of dense bittersweet chocolate cake. Such sadness, even before the sadness comes...

Also started The Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson. What a fantastic beginning! He captures the zeitgeist of the months after 9/11 (for American soldiers and citizens) with minimal fuss. I'm looking forward to diving headfirst into this one!
