This is going to be a quick Sunday Salon. My computer time is limited right now (why did I ever decide against a laptop?! I'm looking at getting one now ...and dreaming of an iPad!). I cracked a bone in my hip area and have to keep off it as much as possible and keep my leg elevated. It's an awful spot for a crack because it's difficult to find a comfortable position when I'm not in pain...it hurts when I sit and when I lie down. Ugh! It'll take some time for it to heal enough that I can begin using it. And because my bones are more delicate and not as strong as they should be I have to be even more careful. But I think just one more week of being really careful and I should be able to spend much more time on my computer blogging! But at least I'm home and my orthopedist didn't hospitalize me. He wanted to, though!
The cats are very good at keeping me company although some of them don't understand that they cannot sit on my lap! I've been reading a lot and have drafted some reviews which I'm trying to persuade a certain someone to type up for me! (Ssshhhh!!). I finished Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese for Erin's Reading Buddies Project for June. I think she posted her final thoughts about the book. When I'm able, I will comment on her post and then post my own review. I thought it was a terrific book. I also finished Miss Timmin's School for Girls by Nayyana Currimbhoy which I'll review soon for TLC Book Tours. I really enjoyed this book and I'm sad I've finished it. I'm reading Endless Nights by Agatha Christie. Devourer of Books is hosting a discussion tomorrow and I'm hoping I can join in for a little while. I'm reading Next to Love by Ellen Feldman. Several bloggers have already reviewed this book. It's wonderful so far. I'm still reading Strange Relations by Rachel Hadas, too. It's a beautiful, sad but lovely book and one to be savored. Finally, I started The Sweetness of Tears by Nafisa Haji which seems very good.
What are you reading and enjoying this Sunday?

I am so sorry you are on the injured list! As if you don't have enough challenges to deal with. Animals do seem to know when you need their support though, God love 'em. And you certainly making lemonade from lemons, and getting great reading done. I read Cutting For Stone on my trip and I absolutely loved it!
ReplyDeleteAhh, that hip issue sounds like it's painful, and being laid up like that must be driving you nuts! At least you are in a prime position to read the days away until you are all healed. I am wishing you the best of luck with your hip, and look forward to your amazing reviews whenever they will be up! Take good care, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love that the kitties want to comfort you while you need to stay in bed and rest; very sweet. Hope u are back on your feet soon.

Oh, not being able to have ample computer time is seriously messed up! Hope you're able to resume soon.
