What am I reading?

Hmmm…

Today’s post will be short and sweet - lots of cooking and baking to do and my baby is arriving home! Yay! Besides, hubby came down with the stomach flu yesterday and chances are, I’ll be indisposed pretty soon. Yeah, maybe I’ll get me the flu for Christmas! Thanks, hon!

Just finished Corvus, A Life with Birds, by Esther Woolfson, this totally cool Scottish lady who rescues crows, ravens, magpies - the story of Spike is so touching without being maudlin or Old Yeller-ish.

I just started a book I’ve wanted to read for years, The Jew in the Lotus, by Rodger Kamenetz. Three chapters in and I’m completely hooked, of course I’m sort of…kind of a BuJu/JuBu anyway. The book chronicles the meeting of the minds between the Dalai Lama and various representatives of the Jewish community, including Jewish renewal guru Reb Zalman Schacter, at least so far. The sharing of information took place back in 1990 in Dharamsala, India. It’s a pretty dang cool book.

What’s in the queue? What the Dog Saw: and Other Adventures, by Malcolm Gladwell. I’ve enjoyed everything else he’s written, so why not? By the time I finish, it will be back to work on the fourth installment of the Daughters of Persephone.

In the meantime, even obsessive-compulsive me needs a break on occasion. I’ve been writing nonstop for eighteen months. Whew! Course, I’m working on edits as we speak!

Merry Chrismukah! Oh, and by the way, congrats to Mia Watts - her book, She’s Got Balls, is a number one best seller on All Romance Ebooks! Go Mia!
