okay, so “little women” wasn’t the highlight of the week that went to…

“muck city” – coming soon to a library near you – great book about a unique high school in the everglades in florida – how that school and its kids (and teachers) overcome suffocating poverty to achieve great things – absorbing read – really, really loved it

“insurgent” – finished it early in the week – i’m ready to give up the divergent series – i’m getting too old to appreciate teen romance and drama, i guess (oh, for those days when i did appreciate teen romance – wait??? not sure i ever recall appreciating teen romance)

“little women” – i’m going with the nook here and calling this a 1,400 page book – which makes my accomplishment of reading it in two days all the more impressive – i guess – anyway, little women was not written for me – i’m pretty sure about that – nevertheless, it was a decent book – liked it much better than insurgent (if you can’t guess, i didn’t like that book:) and, oh, when jo broke laurie’s heart, i just wanted to cry and cry…

reading college football now as my reward for “little women” – in fact, with two fiction books read this week, i may just call that “good” for the summer and stick with biographies and such

great to see my lovely ladies at the duke ceremony today – thanks again to faryn for inviting me – and to julie for, for, for, mmm… give me a week to think about it…
