I’ve been terribly lazy about posting. And writing in general. A few weeks ago I wasn’t really in the mood for writing reviews but, fortunately, that mood didn’t last long. But it seems to have returned with a vengeance since I haven’t written or finished any reviews this week and I have plenty to do. I’m giving myself one more day of gorgeous weather and then I’m going to strap myself to the desk if I have to and write!
I have been reading...yesterday I read The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones and Pocket Kings by Ted Heller. Very different books in every way! I’m not sure which I like better, if either, but I’m enjoying both of them. Hopefully I’ll finish at least one of these books today, possibly both. Mmxxxxxxx8777898776 <----- Lola‘s contribution to my post! She just jumped up here, meowed at me, sat on the keyboard, meowed at me louder and then head-butted me, (thank goodness she has alittle head!) before jumping out the window. I guess she wants me off the computer and outside playing with her! Lola has a terrible jealous streak!
Yesterday was a great sports day! I’m excited about the New York Rangers hockey team. They beat the Devils yesterday so the score is 2 games - 1, Rangers. The Rangers are just a few games away from winning the Stanley Cup! Wow, that would be fantastic. I n The Preakness horse race, the same horse, “I’ll Have Another” (great name!) to win the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, won The Preakness yesterday evening. There’s a good chance he’ll win The Belmont in a few weeks and get the Triple Crown. The last time a horse won the Triple Crown was in 1978 when the magnificent Affirmed won all three horse races.
Enjoy your Sunday, I hope you’re having beautiful weather, too!
Reading anything good today? I hope so!

Hi Amy, sounds like we both felt the saw way the other week about reviewing and blogging -- it happens and then all is well..LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying what you've read. The weather has been perfect hasn't it? Off to sit on my deck now and read for a bit.
I am so over doing reviews. I'm trying so hard to keep up but I am uninspired. Tis the season I guess. I think I am going to hop on the elliptical and read Gone Girl, which is totally kicking my butt in the best way.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you will be outside to enjoy the sunshine. I sat outside for awhile yesterday and really enjoyed getting a bit of sun and reading a good book.
ReplyDeleteWriting reviews is so much harder than reading books, isn't it? I'm behind but am determined to get caught up soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to get out and enjoy the sun. It was a beautiful day today! Can't wait to hear what you think of The Uninvited Guests.
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful outside, isn't it? I am curious to hear what you think of Sadie Jones' book, which I really want to read.
ReplyDeleteI spend too much time out in the sun. Need to get that large umbrella out! I quit watching hockey when the Red Wings lost, but did watch the horse race and will definitely watch the Belmont race. Have a great week Amy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful weather after a long spring/winter is a perfect reason to not be on the computer! Enjoy it. Soon we'll be complaining it's too hot :)
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at Lola's contribution to your post! Can't wait to read The Uninvited Guest.
ReplyDeleteI like having a tan too but the medication I take makes me sunburn easily so I buy this lotion at Walmart called Hemp Glow. It tans you and it looks way natural and it's super cheap. You can't overdo it either. It reaches its max and then stops. Great moisturizer too.

DIANE: Thank you for understanding my lack of blogging and reviewing. I knew you'd felt similarly recently. When the weather is so beautiful, I like to be outside.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you had a wonderful weekend with your granddaughter!
SANDY: Exactly! And I have so many books I want to read that writing about the ones I've finished takes time away from that! I know it's just a mood (I hope!) that I'll snap out of.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to read - oe listen - while on the elliptical. And makes it more fun! maybe?!
KATHLEEN: I'm glad you enjoyed the nice weather. It was a real treat for me to sit outside since we've been having a lot of rain in NYC!
ReplyDeleteBERMUDAONION: That's so true, Kathy. The reviews are more difficult and take time away from the reading which I love. But it's nice to get comments from other blogger readers once I post reviews.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with catching up...I need to do some of that, too!
ANNA: Thank you! It was great to have such beautiful weather because it's been raining a lot here.
ReplyDeleteThe Uninvited Guests is great, so far. I love the British part of it and the characters are really interesting. I'm reviewing it early next week.
ATHIRA: It really is...I love a warm, sunny, breezy day!
ReplyDelete"The Uninvited Guests" is terrific so far. It's an exciting and the characters are very interesting!
NISE': Once it gets hot, I don't sit in the sun anymore! I need to find some kind of good fake tan stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can understand you're no longer watching hockey...I wouldn't be watching except the Rangers are in it.
The horse racing is exciting. I really hope there's a Triple Crown winner! Enjoy!
STACYBUCKEYE: Exactly! I run from the sun when it's hot out...or gaze outside from the cool indoors!
ReplyDeleteIt's the humidity that really gets me!
I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
JoANN: Cute isn't she? She plays outside, runs around chasing things then comes in and stands on the keyboard and meows at me...she's the youngest of the cats and spoiled!
ReplyDeleteThe Uninvited Guests is great...I'm really enjoying it so far.
TI: Thank you for telling about Hemp Glow. I'm definitely going to look for it. I love sitting in the sun but I admit, whenever I do I'm always thinking about the damage it can do to my skin. So, after about 15 minutes, I move to shade or cover up!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try some tanning product but was never sur what to go with....Thank you. I'll let you know how it works for me!
I should have Romeo type a post!! You know how they say a bunch of monkeys in a room with typewriters would eventually write Shakespeare? Well, maybe Romeo can come up with a few thoughts for us. Yay for a nice weather!
