She’s Back!

Oh boy, this is awkward. I’ve been gone from here for so long! I went away on a fabulous vacation to Mexico and never really came back. My mind has been stuck on the beach reading. I read about a book a day for seven days–what luxury! And what did I read, you might ask? Here’s the list:

Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea
Lush Life by Richard Price
Enduring Love by Ian McEwan
Travels with Herodotus by Ryszard Kapuscinski
The Angel’s Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon

And since then, I’ve read:

The Hand of Isis by Jo Graham
The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno
The American Painter Emma Dial by Samantha Peale

And I’m currently enjoying The Informers by Juan Gabriel Vasquez.

All were good books, but if I had to say which I liked best, I would say Lush Life, The Great Perhaps, and Into the Beautiful North. Looking at my list, I’m realizing that I don’t read many books written by women which I hadn’t noticed until now. That’s what I’ve been doing.

And I’m also addicted to Twitter now, another reason I haven’t written here in a while. My handle is @Bookdwarf of course.

Also Mr. Bookdwarf and I are going to get married.

That’s my news for now.
