Unfortunately, my husband and I got a late start on our
garden cleanup projects (after lunch). Although we braved a light rain, we finally surrendered to a downpour within the hour. That’s when I decided
to touch base with my blogging buddies.
What I’d really like to do is to curl up and finish my
current book: And the Dark Sacred Night,
by Julia Glass, or even start my book club selection: Why I Left the Amish, by Saloma Miller Furlong. However, there are
indoor chores that have fallen a bit behind during our recent push to tidy up
our gardens, so I must be brief today.
A Doxie bookmark I made for my husband
I’m also reading Appearances, A Journey of Self-Discovery, which is a memoir by Renee Alter, whom I “met” in my online book-marketing challenge. We swapped files in exchange for reviews. That reminds me: I am looking for additional reviews of my memoir–even though it’s published already as a hardcover. For the simple price of your honest review, I can send you a .pdf file of Water's Edge: Growing Up in the Heart of a New England Village. Please email: VickieNewmanBooks.com.
On my reading table
At the same online course, I discovered another memoir: Souled Out, by Viet Nam veteran Michael
Orban. In fact, I’m trying to connect him with the right people at the Minneapolis
Veteran’s Hospital, through my brother-in-law (a Physical Therapist there), to see if
they are interested in buying Michael’s story. I hope you’ll offer up a little
prayer with me that Michael increases his readership, with this lead! I can’t
think of a more deserving author.
My tea is done and I must run….but only after I ask:
What’s on your reading table
or wish list?
