Thirty-six Picket Fences

 



The first Saturday of November is Book Lovers’ Day. In the interest of full disclosure, August 9 is also Book Lovers’ Day. But when I picture myself enjoying a good read, it’s chilly and dark outside and I’m in a cozy armchair, under a warm quilt or next to a cheerful fire. In August, I’ve so many other interesting things to do. At the moment, I’m about a third of the way through The Tower of Nero, the last installment of Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series. When I’m done with that, I’ll start Champion of the Titan Games, Brandon Mull’s fourth Dragonwatch book. I was rereading Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving, but there was something about this book Heather found offensive. She repeatedly snuck into my room, pulled out my bookmark (!) and hid the book where she thought I couldn’t find it. Eventually I hid it from her, and I haven’t seen it since.
