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…

Awww thanks for the “shout out” So I woke up very early to watch the men’s final this morning. GO RAFA! HE WON AND I’m SOOOO HAPPY! It’s funny because Jake’s favorite tennis player is Novak Djokivic. Jake’s still asleep so he doesn’t know Nadal won yet. I can’t wait to break that news! 😀
go rafa indeed – it figures that jake would like someone from the eastern european empire, former soviet bloc
we need to become nook buddies next year – i have a new one, and it needs a buddy…
