"Somewhere quieter."
He walked quickly, not turning to see if she followed.  He couldn't wait any longer for Keiro.

From Incarceron by Catherine Fisher --  published several years ago in the UK, but just this year in the US.  YA.  I'm on page 41, still deciding what I think of it.

Aloha Friday

My questions is:  What is your favorite part about your current abode?

My answer:  My favorite parts about our current apartment are the location (lots of stuff we can walk to)and the wood floors.  Oh, and the landlord, too.  :)

Waffling (and frozen yogurt) on a Sunday

Just pondering the structure of this blog -- thinking about adding some more book-specific stuff, including a list of books I read each month, a list of mini-challenges I'm participating in, etc. Wondering if that's something I'm really going to want to keep up with and thinking probably not. :) Also considering changing the color scheme. I completely understand that these are not decisions of consequence, never fear.

I need to learn a bit more about our digital camera (a hand-me-down from my husband's parents several years ago) so that I can incorporate images more often around here.

I'm taking advantage of this last hour of Sabbath and letting myself just play around a bit on the computer while listening to Pandora.

We went to church in Boulder this morning and then Fiona used some of her birthday money from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Don to buy some new Crocs (pink with an orange maple leaf Jibbet) and to then take the three of us out for sushi and frozen yogurt. It's sunny here in Denver today and it was lovely to walk around Cherry Creek as a family.

This afternoon was a nice prelude to turning 34 tomorrow!

Wilkie Collins Mini-Challenge!

Challenge creator says:

This challenge is for 2009-2010.
The challenge will begin October 1, 2009. The challenge will end December 1, 2010.

Read and/or watch two works by Wilkie Collins.

This will be fun! I read a fair bit but I think it'll be fun to have something that puts a framework around what I am reading.

Sadly, my holds account at the library is maxed out, so sadly I will have to wait til Tuesday (when the library is open again so I can pick up my books that are on the holds shelf) before I can put my selections on hold.

I've read The Moonstone already, so I think I'm going to try to watch the movie version. I'm not sure yet what my other selection will be -- I'm thinking of just reading lots and lots of his works (Becky, the mini-challenge host, posted a bibliography from Wikipedia and there are a lot of options!).

Thanks, Becky, for a great idea!
