Sunday Reading: Dream a Little Dream

I looked in the mirrow just after getting out of bed -never a good thing to do, is it?- and I look how I feel: ugh. As white as a sheet with a nose as red as Rudolph. I have a loo roll permently within in hand reach because I've gone through all my kleenex. It's one of those days you just want to spend rolled up in a ball on the sofa with a feel good book. If I can get into it. Unfortunely I need to go into town to buy food, the cupboards are pratically empty. Well hopefully being outside will clear up my head and make me feel a bit better :)

Sunday Reading: The Inn at Lake Devine

Sunday Reading

We are half way through October, but looking outside you wouldn't think so. The air is soft out in the garden, the autumn sun warming it. This time of the year the loght is beautiful. It's a perfect day to spend the sunday morning reading in the garden, enjoying the sun now she is still here. Soon winter will come, and it will be too cold. Even when wrapped in an electric blanket *Ü*

The Inn at Lake Devine, written by Elinor Lipman

It's 1962 and all across America barriers are collapsing. But when Natalie Marx's mother inquires about summer accommodations in Vermont, she gets the following reply: The Inn at Lake Devine is a family-owned resort, which has been in continuous operation since 1922. Our guests who feel most comfortable here, and return year after year, are Gentiles. For twelve-year-old Natalie, who has a stubborn sense of justice, the words are not a rebuff but an infuriating, irresistible challenge. In this beguiling novel, Elinor Lipman charts her heroine's fixation with a small bastion of genteel anti-Semitism, a fixation that will have wildly unexpected consequences on her romantic life. As Natalie tries to enter the world that has excluded her—and succeeds through the sheerest of accidents—The Inn at Lake Devine becomes a delightful and provocative romantic comedy full of sparkling social mischief.

Personal Reflection: I picked this book up and didn't put it down untill I finished it! I loved it. It was interesting to read about the prejudiced world against Jews, even in the year 1962.

Sunday Reading: The Boy in the Stripes Pajamas

It's cloudy outside making everything look somber. Standing in the garden with the wind waving my skirt up in the air, it feels like rain. I love the rain, but today I prefer to stay inside to snuggle up on the sofa with a good book.

What is more perfect then unplanned sunday. Perfect for you to read 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' by John Boyne

What I wrote to my friend Lulu last year:
You MUST read this book. I insist! I was browsing through the bookstore at the airport this morning when I saw this book. Now only mere hours ago, I have already read three quarters. What's it about? Your guess is as good as mine when I bought it. The author says the following "This story is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the jacket, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it's important that you start to read it without knowing what it is about." Isn't that intruging?!

A few hours later:

WOW!

I finished it. I read it in one day. I've never read a book in one day before! I had goosebumps throughout the book. You really must read it Louise!
