Besides Blogging

I've been reading:

The Talented Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
Love this series! Cute and funny.

The Girls: A Novel by Lori Lansens
I'm not done yet, but this is a great book - the author is a great writer and does a beautiful job of imagining the inner lives of conjoined twins.

Listening:

Eric Clapton Crossroads
Classic.

Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Could I sit down and read a Pratchett novel? Doubtful. But on audio? Greatest thing on Earth!!

From AudioFile

Terry Pratchett's hilarious prose is significantly enhanced by the narrative skills of Stephen Briggs. The story, another in the Discworld saga, highlights the recruiting efforts of a small country chronically at war with its neighbors. A rotund sergeant and weasely corporal sweep through a small town, and one of the misfits who volunteers to thwart them is Polly Perks, disguised as a teenaged boy barely of age. Briggs takes on the misfits and makes them shine. As the little group proceeds from one improbable adventure to the next, Briggs and Pratchett are magnificent.
