National Library Week and the Boston Marathon

Well I meant to post last week when it was National Library Week. That didn't go very well did it? Not that there was so much going on but I just didn't get around to writing anything. I was trying to finish Loving Frank (before the due date). Mission accomplished. One of my book buddies got a "bag of books" from the library near her office. At this library when your book club selects a book a patron can take out a bag of that book for the club…. I think it is a great idea. So I really needed to finish and return the book to my friend before Easter. I have also been trying to REALLY organize my sewing/craft area. Organizing is my holy grail. But I am making progress (not that anyone else can see it). I am just about done going through the bins of scraps and cutting and sorting into usable sizes. Takes time (and ironing) but at least now I don't have all these scraps overflowing from the bins. Comments on Loving Frank. I like the style of writing. I like using the letter format occasionally. What I didn't like was Frank- I don't know how much artistic license was taken but he was so self centered, arrogant, selfish….the ending caught me totally by surprise. At that point I had a bit more sympathy for Frank. Glad I read it, didn't love it. It was work to get through….Have started (and almost finished) The Husband's Secret. Lighter read. Today is the running of the Boston Marathon. My thoughts are with the runners after last year's horrible bombing. My daughter lives in Boston and will be watching- just not at the finish line.

Here is hoping it is an uneventful day- beautiful weather for it.
