Jen and Kelly…
“Life begins at 40.” That means that it is time to make the changes that will give you the time to take care of yourself instead of everyone else. It is definitely a process, but now is when it begins for you, if you let it. And if you do, then things will be better in ten years (or maybe sooner) and will continue to get better after that.

Nicole, if it’s a book, it counts as reading. Including audio books.

Lady S, what an eclectic reading list this week! That Sherwood Smith one sounds pretty fascinating–don’t we wish we’d all kept diaries from that young? Or maybe not.

Shai, let me know how #2 is. I need to get to that!

Dylan, I love your enthusiasm and loyalty toward that series. Every author would want a reader like you!

Katie Sis, thanks for the info.

I have a feeling that reading week was supposed to be for academic reading, but I’ve been taking advantage of it anyway. So far I’ve read Terry Pratchett’s “The Truth,” William Souder’s “A Plague of Frogs,” and, if it counts as reading, Andy Runton’s “Owly: Flying Lessons.”

Oh dear to Jen’s and Kelly’s not having time to read! For them, and selfishly, for the rest of us who want their reading recs too.

I’m losing track of what I’ve been reading when already, which is worrying, but I think I finished Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Spell Book of Listen Taylor (all kinds of weird, and publishing as YA the most bizarre decision, but I still enjoyed it a lot), read and loved The Wednesday Wars, and am now reading both Lynn Flewelling’s The Bone Doll’s Twin and Sherwood Smith’s Over the Sea: CJ’s First Notebook. The latter is fascinating, as she wrote the stories in notebooks starting from the time she was EIGHT (though I think she destroyed them until she got to Junior High and could keep them in a locker, and it’s strangely wonderful and disturbing to read this book, know how much is autobiographical, and be reading the books she’s writing in the same world now she’s in her early fifties.

Oh, and I got the audiobook of Cloud Atlas from the library too. What a mix, eh?

Read the sixth sweep book and it was my favorite of all of them so far! SOOOO brillient! Then I found out some unsettling info about the series which makes me a wittle unsure of their greatness but I’m not dropping them ever!

I was kind of unsatisfied with the way she wrapped things up. But the series is well worth reading. Maybe she intended to leave some parts of the story to the reader’s imagination.

Kelly, sometimes I think we were separated at birth. I like the “victim of your own competence” way of looking at it. Good luck with the proposal.

Robin, thanks for the support. Working on it, but it’s a SLOW process…

Jen and Kelly! That’s just wrong! I’m so sorry–I know how you two live and breathe books. Something’s gotta change or you’ll both shrivel up. I hope you can work something out.

Katie Sis, is that because it’s part of a series? Or just because?
