I don't know how to stop checking out books from the library. I was there, ostensibly, for the children, because they have standardized testing this week and need some good books to read in the down time. But I saw
the new book by Elizabeth Kostova and my fear is that I would never see it again. The horror! So I checked it out. Her book
The Historian was a massive work of fiction, but so well-written. I loved it. And I also checked out two more books by Laurie King
. Now I, at this point in my life, don't even have time for deep cleansing breaths in the car pool line. I know there is no way I can throw a little light fiction in life's mixing bowl (which seems to be set on super-high). But I need books like other people need conversation, and the library is so great about giving them to me for free! I cannot help it.

Let me know how you like the Swan Thieves. I loved "The Historian" - is it possible this one is as good?
I did the math this afternoon; because it's a new book, I only have it for 14 days. I have to read 44 pages a day in order to finish it before it is due. The only problem is I keep falling asleep every time I try to read. :) Maybe a Kindle IS a good idea.
