Well Hello!

Even though most of my reading lately has been baby related, I didn't want Aunt Cindy to feel lonely on here! In addition to trying to keep myself as informed about newborns as I can (you know, besides learning from experience), I've also started reading Organized Simplicity, for inspiration and motivation, and last night for pleasure I started reading Hearts of Horses, which seems like it's going to be awesome. I'll try to update as the latter book progresses. It might be a little while since I'm short on time for pleasure reading these days, though it gets better all the time!

"The Distant Hours"

This book is a beginning book this week. I finished "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and am working through the last in the series. "The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest". For a visual, I think of Lisbeth of being similar to Karen. Don't know why, but I do. We started the movies. They are Swedish, with English subtitles. Kind of cool, as I like closed captioning. But, I digress...

"Distant Hours" is about a young woman from England. Her mother, as a young child, was sent to stay in a castle with three sisters. One of the sisters had been jilted, and the other two tended to her. 50 years later, the mother receives a letter from the 'sick' sister, and that is as far as I am. This is supposed to be a 'Gothic novel', so we will see. The intro pages were about a "mudman" and a young girl who longed to be out in the world. Hmph, maybe I should change from this being a car book to a bedside one. I mean I have "The Host" on the burner...
