Welcome to Whatsit's Wild World. |
If you have never read Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple, I cannot recommend it highly enough! The title gives away the main fact, which is that Bernadette has disappeared. Bernadette's daughter connects all her emails and other papers pertaining to the last few weeks before her disappearance. I couldn't keep my eyeballs off it! I have also been about to kill myself reading all of Pat Conroy's books. His non-fiction books are the best - it's unusual for me to say that because I usually love fiction and only occasionally read non-fic, but in his case it's different. Right now I am reading My Losing Season, which is about basketball, of all things. Once again, anything about sports is usually the last thing I would read, but this is really good. He also has one called My Reading Life which is superb. I am re-reading Gone With the Wind for about the fifth time. It never gets old. The last book about Mitford and Father Tim (or Father Time, as he accidentally gets called in this installment) came out a while back and my mother bought it. It's called Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good. Absolutely lovely! Good thing I'm a reading addict, not a shoe addict or a lipstick addict. Reading is one of the few free things left thanks to libraries! |
