It got busy this week! Lots going on at home, work, and otherwise as well. Life My daughter's school decided to close on Friday, along with several other schools in the area, with some being closed from Thursday. Not enough staff. The school had been on a mask mandate since the beginning of the pandemic, dropping it only for one week when the pandemic had appeared to have stabilized last year. And yet, they dropped the mandate completely at the beginning of this year, when cases were exponentially rising, only to bring it back again starting next week. I've gone from being very annoyed to angry to feeling fatigue in these first two weeks already. I won't lie - we all mask around here and try to avoid going where we don't have a need to be in, and still, we are not taking anything close to the extreme precaution we all took at the beginning of the pandemic. I cannot and don't want to keep my kids home - I have at least that much faith in the schools' precautions

Books on my nightstand
A House at the Edge of Tears by Vénus Khoury-Ghata: This is one of the books I am reading for the Spotlight Series this month. It's very short, but the writing isn't as simple. Still I would like to give it a try one night and see how far I last.
A Partisan's Daughter
by Louis de Bernières: If and when I do hit the gym this week, I'll be listening to this book. With a hectic week ahead of me, I'm not sure how often that will be. What do you think of this cover? For some reason, it makes me feel as if I'm looking at a movie poster.

Nice to see that 'Partisan's Daughter' is on your list. I read that earlier this year. Not like his other books but still, I'm a firm De Bernieres fan. Hope you enjoy the Ghata too. I read 'The Calligrapher's Night' by Yasmine Ghata, Venus-Ghoury Ghata's granddaughter. It was ok, but it would be interesting to know what you thought of it. You might want to check out my reviews of them after you finish.
Happy reading!
