Books and Other Tuesday Topics

Hey there! This week’s Tuesday Topic is: Summer Solstice: what are you looking forward to this season?

Well. Have I mentioned that my son is getting married? Ha ha, of course I have. The wedding is now just over a month away, July 25th. I have my dress and shoes (PHEW), we have our plane tickets and the Airbnb reservation. I just keep feeling like there’s something else I should be doing, but I don’t know what that would be.

I’ve asked Paul and Isabel, several times, if there’s anything I can do, and they tell me that everything is under control. I’ve asked Isabel’s mom, and she made vague allusions to things that would need to be done in the days leading up to the wedding, which is why I’m flying up five days early.

I don’t know… if your son is getting married in a month, should you be doing SOMETHING other than going about your regular life??? I’m getting really antsy, and as it happens, I can’t call my son right now to talk about it because he’s in the middle of a very intense, two week trumpet workshop. But you better believe when that’s over- next weekend- I’ll be calling him to talk all things wedding.

In the meantime… On Sunday I went to a used bookstore! Normally paperbacks are $3 and hardcovers are $4, but this weekend everything was 50% off. Interestingly, this seemed to attract a lot of serious readers. People were examining the shelves intently, and saying things like “Sue, have you read this one? I remember I gave it four stars.” I mean… regular people don’t talk like that, do they?

Here’s what I got:

The Anna Quindlen was 50 cents, and the others were $1.50 each. Pretty good haul for less than $7! Now I have LOTS of reading to do- luckily I have plenty of peace and quiet this week while my daughter is gone.

Have you read any of these books??? – I may have read the Kate Atkinson and the Margery Allingham, but if so, it was so long ago that I don’t remember them.
