I can’t get enough of this weather! I seriously cannot. I have to fold laundry, which I normally really enjoy doing because it means I get to watch an episode of a show on Netflix, but today I just want to GO OUTSIDE!! And everybody knows you cannot fold outside or you’ll get leaves and sticks all over your clean clothes. Such a letdown.
I was a bookworm these last two weeks. I read:
- Intern: A Doctor’s Initiation by Sandeep Jauhar. A really interesting book! AND SUPER DISGUSTING AT TIMES.
- Paris: A Love Story by Kati Marton. I wanted to poke my eye out about 196 times while reading this. (One eye poke per page.) I thought this would be a nice little story about Kati falling in love with her husband (Richard Holbrooke, perhaps you’ve heard of him), and yet it was not. It was narcissistic, bitter and unkind in places, and an overall depressing read.
- Call The Midwife by Jennifer Worth. This was such a fascinating book that I requested another book of hers from the library and am looking forward to getting it. Have you seen the BBC series on PBS? It’s based on this memoir, and both are amazing. I’m re-watching the series now that I’m all freshly jazzed from reading the book.
