Going through the internet in search of good reads a little later than usual. A friend and I ran away to have lunch at Chaps with dessert (chocolate mousse cake) and take homes from Cake – their new bakery. Managed to scrounge the last apple fritter for Marty but the teenager looked pitiful enough to convince his dad to share a little. As for the teenager, he neglected to have his phone on him to tell me what he wanted. I was nice anyway and brought home a cinnamon raisin bun and an apple cinnamon muffin. Hopefully turn around is fair play and he will be nice enough to share with his dad. Made a quick stop to Auntie’s Bookstore where I saw a few books that piqued my interest and had a good browse.
From Aunties:
A Slender Thread by Katherine Davis – First, this book is about sisters which is one of my “hooks” and second, I am intrigued by the loss of language and how to find a new voice.
What I talk about When Running by Haruki Murakami – this one for the teenager. I am always on the lookout for books on running for the kid, add in the talk about travel and this looks like a winner.
and from the blogs today:
Bibliophile by the Sea finished Room by Emma Donoghue and loved it. This is the one long listed Booker Prize books that I am eagerly awaiting reading. Lucky for me the county library now has a copy so I am on the hold list.
The Book Bench: The New Yorker tells me that Jim Carrey is set to star in a film adaptation of Mr. Popper’s Penguins. I remember my mother reading this book to my brother and me – sitting in between us on the green couch we had. It is a great book.
S. Krishna’s Books has given me a new mystery to try: The Cold Light of Morning by Elizabeth Duncan.
Happy reading
