Month: May 2016

Hey there!

It has been a rough month! May grabbed me by the feet and swung me around like a unwanted rag doll. I crashed like a dropped raw egg and there was no putting me back together again. I was sleeping all day long, my whole body was (still is) hurting, and my brain was so fuzzy it felt like I was under water all the time. The good news is that my doctor just told me my thyroid is not doing its job so up the dose we go. If that is all that is going wrong I should be better soon. Can’t wait to get back to normal and have to come up with original reasons (excuses) for not doing the things I need to do. Things are looking up! I can dive back into blogging~

Activity challenge – reading Inheritance by Thomas Wymark and next reading pick

Activity challenge – Reading challenge- Inheritance by Thomas Wymark.

Well, not a quick summer read. You must have patience and a LOT of empathy. You must be willing to take leaps of faith with the main female character from time to time and try to follow her line of thinking, I really struggled with it. Put it away a couple of times, picked it up again, got lost, had to go back, maybe my mind was not at its best place to dive into this book right now. I am going to tell you that as soon as I feel sharper I will look at this book again. I feel like I missed something and I really want to get it. There are books I know there are not worth a second look, but this is not one of them. I am just not in a good headspace.

With that said, I am making my next pick something much lighter that I can look at and enjoy. With that goal in mind I am choosing The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. I have the book in Spanish. I will quickly try to find it in English at the public library but will not purchase it if they don’t have it. My translations of what I read will have to do for our discussion. I hope I get some feedback from you so we can get the most out of that little morsel.
