Well, since my son got me up well before dawn, I’ve been up for awhile. I read another short story in Geektastic, by Scott Westerfeld and therefore my favorite one so far, before getting into Waiting for Columbus again. I’ve had to pause to make breakfast, give medicine (she’s feeling better!), and do some laundry. I’m going to go enjoy my egg muffins and read some more!

The edge to his voice, the clipped tone, takes her off guard. She cannot, will not say that this book of poems is one of her favorites-that it is a book her father gave to her mother. This book is one of her few treasures. These poems move through her as an old lover would; they know where to touch and when, and sometimes they surprise. -Waiting for Columbus page 122.
Took a break to watch Neil Gaiman’s Statuesque on YouTube. It was delightful!

Took another break to make some cookies. Orange Cranberry and Walnut. They were YUMMY. Also took a break from Waiting for Columbus to read another short story in Geektastic, the one by Cassandra Clare. Liked it. Now back to WoC. It’s still so very, very good.

You are doing a great job! As you know I'm about halfway through Liar and hoping to get it finished up (or pretty close) this evening so we can chatter about it more.
Glad to hear the kids are doing well and that a good day is being had by all.

I like the idea of breaking up the novel reading with short stories. I'm not getting nearly as much reading done as I had planned to do.

Sounds like a great day of reading. Everyone seems to love Waiting on Columbus. I think I need to put it on my wish list.
