This past week has been fun but a little exhausting. I’m on a working vacation right now (several states away) and am without internet access, so if I’m a little slow at responding to comments or emails — that’s the reason. I’m actually posting this from the library, which will be my only way to catch up with everyone for the next 6 weeks or so.
The good news is that I have been reading, though! I finished up How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff and am currently reading The Optimist’s Daughter by Eudora Welty (a Pulitzer winner) and I’m listening to Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. I’m loving Shanghai Girls! Just as she did in Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Lisa See has me totally swept up in this story. Set in Shanghai and in California before and during WWII, it’s a tale of two sisters caught up in the times and their circumstances. So far it’s at least a 4.5 rating. If you loved Snow Flower, I believe you will enjoy Shanghai Girls as well.
As for the rest of the time I’m here, I hope to be able to post at least once or twice a week with reviews and/or a Sunday Salon post.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
