Housekeeping.

What am I reading? I am a huge-amongus fan of nonfiction. My current massively enjoyable read is Catching Fire, How Cooking Made Us Human, by Richard Wrangham, professor of Biological Anthropology at Harvard University.

“A man does not live on what he eats, an old proverb says, but on what he digests.” Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste: Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy.

Love this book!

What am I watching? Baseball, mostly. Haven’t been to a movie in ages and I’d love to go. I want to see Salt and Inception and The Kids are All Right.

The puppy is angel pup by day, devil pup by night - keeps me busy! I have to carry around this thirty pound 9 1/2 week old puppy. He’s a big guy!

I got my first review for Daughters of Persephone from Happily Ever After Reviews:

“I’ve read other books by Julia Barrett, so I was eager to start Daughters of Persephone. I commend Ms. Barrett for the time and devotion in creating a realistic sci-fi world with its own terms and rules. You are pulled into the realism of a new world and kept there by the larger than life characters.”

Michelle, over at Michelle’s Book Blog - posted this great review for Captured. Here’s the link. I’ll post the entire review tomorrow: http://michellesramblins.blogspot.com/

    I’d like to see Salt and Inception too. This summer has been too busy to get to a movie. I barely get to watch Baseball either. :(

    Congrats on the wonderful review!

  2. I’m even too busy to watch baseball most of the time! Gaaaa! At least we won last night! Thanks to my guy, Andres Torres!
