Gomey victorious!
The heatwave is long past and we have been having lovely, lovely rain for the last few days. I’ve taken a deep breath and allowed the dandelions to take over the lawn while I stay in and finish up my next reading selections for entry in the Big! Bookbag! of Crap! Schweeepstakes! sponsored by the SPL. The more the better, although I am still trying to be reasonable in my selections. I’ve already picked up my coffee card.
“Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn” by William J. Mann (a recent and well annotated biography that explores, with compassion and criticism, her life behind the screen image and the maneuvering it took to get famous and stay there, which – even though I knew how it all turned out – brought a wee tear to my eye at the end.)
“Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: Evolutionary Origins of Belief” by Lewis Wolpert (not referenced in a way that I’m used to, I had to put this down soon after starting it, but once I accepted that it did not need to conform to the standards of a peer reviewed journal I was able to return to this synposis of children, animals, tool use, casual beliefs and religion.)
“Strangers in Paradise Vol. 17: Tattoo” by Terry Moore (in preparation of one of my own favorite series ending this summer, I’ve gone back to catch up on an earlier collection that I missed; it’s the fluff piece this time around but worthy of inclusion.)
I was going to include “The Lost Girls”, but I have this irrational fear that when I win the BBoCS I will be asked to give a public synopsis or dramatic rendering of my chosen summer reading – and that could be Quite Awkward.
