It's freaking August already! Of 2021. Life I know how summer usually means a busy time for most people. It wasn't so much for me - my kids are still too little and we had some fun this summer but didn't brave outside a whole lot (maybe next year). And still, I am ready for summer to end. For one thing, stuff does slow down a little during rest of the year, and by stuff, I mean work mostly. And on the other hand, I'm ready for real school to start, so that I don't feel bad that my kids are wasting their brains, LOL. I got to catchup with life this week and that means a great deal.

I also finished American Dervish by Ayad Akhtar, a book I have a lot to talk about. I am still reading Lynn Sheene's The Last Time I Saw Paris - which I didn't get to last week, but plan to finish this week. Short Story of the week - The Shawl (click for my review) by Louise Erdrich - a must-read in my opinion....And other news
