Hello, Monday!!I'm workin' my way through mountains of laundry, having returned from camping in the beautiful woods of the Northwest. Everything smells like pine from the evergreens and smoke from the campfire. *scratch & sniff* It's wonderful! The smell of relaxation and no To-Do lists or schedules!
I'm not even sad that it's Monday again. Nope! I still smell like pine & woodsmoke. I'm good.
I was excited to read during the lazy afternoons with the sunlight dancing through the tree cover. Once I got there, though, I realized I wanted to enjoy my family even more. Being an addict, I needed a book in hand to carry on a conversation, so I chose to reread one of the books I had brought to entice my relatives to read.Rereading while on vacation works out exceptionally well, so you know. When Dashti was about to lose her head via "silver on blue", I was able to smile when interrupted rather than snarl at some innocent relative. *snort*
That is how I have just finished Book of a Thousand Days for the third time. *ahem* And I figured out where the title comes from only, I can't find the passage. It goes something like, "it takes a thousand days to get to know someone" and I think Dashti is recalling her mother's wisdom, and regardless, it's absolutely beautiful.The next book I'm reading is Immigration and Adaptation for a tour review on Wednesday. I'm fascinated, but I'll wait to share 'til I review.
Thanks to Sheila at Book Journey for hosting this hop!!
