Broken toe

I broke my toe! Not good when I need to be chasing a toddler who is hell bent on running, NEVER walking, through life.

I am half way through, "Year of Wonders", which is super depressing. I think I like it though.

New Book!

Woohoo! I got, "The Lace Reader" by Brunonia Barry in the mail today. I am going to submit questions for the blog talk radio interview by Book Club Girl. Let you know how it turns out. The book, "Always Looking Up" by Micheal J Fox is interesting.

Sick

Our little family has been passing a stomach bug around. First the baby, then me and now my husband is sick. I am exhausted and can't wait for everything to get back to normal.

I at least got a lot of reading done while I was sick. Currently I am reading, "Always Looking Up". I also read my first young adult novel in what seems like forever, "Viola in Reel Life". I am on book 32 of the year. What is everyone else reading?
