What Are You Reading?

Holy Guacamole! Where did the time go? I couldn't believe it when I realized that it's been nearly a week since I last posted. Know that we haven't dropped off the face of the earth, we've just been, well, busy!

As spring approaches summer, the weather is so much more pleasant. We're actually working on getting a few things done outside. Hopefully that will keep the neighbors from shaking their fists at us.

The birds are providing tons of entertainment for Bogey. Unfortunately, this also serves to increase his efforts to escape. It takes a regular battle strategy to keep that cat from scooting out the door. Indy enjoys the sunshine as much as me, but soon enough, the temps will be sweltering. Thus the name of the game is enjoy nice days while we can.

I'm looking for something un-put-downable to read. One of my favorite authors, Anne Lamott, posted a list of her must-reads recently. However, some of the books appealed to me, and others did not. So it made me wonder, what would Critter Alley readers recommend as the perfect summer book?

I tend to enjoy stories that mimic life. A little laughter, a few tears, and a satisfying ending. Anybody got a favorite to suggest?

A Perfect Weekend to Read

Over the last two weeks I think we've gotten more snow than we have in the last two years. It's pretty, but I don't enjoy driving in it. Too many hidden slick spots for my taste.

I suppose in the big picture what we're experiencing is a good thing. Last year we had almost no snow or rain. Plants dried up and the brown grass crunched underfoot. I like to think our snowy days are putting us on the right track for a beautiful spring and summer. That's makes a slick spot or two easier to take, doesn't it?

If you're snowed in this weeked, perhaps you'd like to read a few delightfully romantic short stories. Cupid's Quiver is a collection that contains my story, The Blue Book of Love, along with stories from many talented writer friends. Cupid's Quiver comes in a Kindle edition as found here. If you don't have a Kindle, you can download a free Kindle app on your computer.

The stories go perfectly with a cup of hot chocolate. What a great weekend to read!
