Happy Sunday everyone! You may have noticed I don’t have a TSS badge. I am blogging this morning from my mother’s Mac and I am telling you, Apple is not my friend. I have no idea how to use it so I finally just decided to write my post and be done with it–no badges or other inserts!
I am using my mom’s computer because I am sitting on the porch of her lakehouse as I write this post. I have my two dogs curled up next to me and a hot coffee on the end table so life is good! Pretty soon I will be taking my stepdaughter and cousin to the lake for some swimming.
This week I finished up 31 Bond Street, by Ellen Horan. It was wonderful–the writing was a little subpar but the story was such a great one that I got sucked right in nonetheless. Then I read The Likeness, by Tana French, which is for my book club meeting tomorrow. I was the one who suggested it but I was actually a little nervous when it was chosen because I was afraid there may not have been much to discuss. Luckily, I think I was dead wrong–yes, it was a mystery but there was still so much food for thought. I will be sure to post a review after our meeting and wlso include the reactions of my fellow book clubbers.
Last, but not least, I started The Brothers Karamazov for the read-a-long mentioned by Jill at Fizzy Thoughts. The read-a-long hasn’t started yet but I figured that with my track record I better get a head start! Hopefully I’ll finish this read-a-long–thus far, the only one I have had success with is East of Eden.
I hope you all have an enjoyable Sunday. I am planning on reading by the lake as the girls swim. Then we’ll have a loooong drive home!

It’s a perfect day to be by the lake!! Good luck with The Brothers Karamazov… thought about joining in, but am relaxing my reading/blogging commitments for the summer. I’ll be following all the posts for it though.
Head starts are perfectly acceptable. I was planning on doing it myself. 😀
Eh, I really should join that readalong, but I’ve already got so many books I need to read this summer!
I need to get my hands on Tana French’s mysteries! Everyone keeps telling me they’re beautifully written and have a lot of depth.
Reading by the lake sounds absolutely lovely. Enjoy your Sunday!
I’m right there with you in a distaste for Macs. Although, I suppose I can’t complain too much. My laptop is dead as a doornail at the moment, and I’m stuck using my Chuck’s G5.
It’s been 2 years since I read The Brothers Karamazov. I first read it in college for my thesis, then re-read a couple times. It’s easier to read it in installments, and taking the chapter on Grand Inquisitor slowly. Good luck with the book. 🙂
It sounds like you’ve had a great day! I’ve read so many positive reviews on The Likeness but I’m still too scared of disappointment to pick it up just yet. I hope you have a great week!
Aw, I love my Mac. 😀
