I am too -- as you know, I have lots of travel and trips coming up for work, so even tough I moaned and groaned -- I am looking forward to sleeping in, reading and doing what ever I want....
Oh, by the way -- I have a suggesstion for our NEXT book club book -- Every Inch of Her by Peter Sheridan. THere was an interview with him on NPR this afternoon and this book sounds great..
Irish playwright Sheridan provides an absolutely delightful slice of Dublin life in his suitably quirky debut novel. Weighing 240 pounds and sporting both a variety of tattoos and a saucy attitude, Philomena Nolan initially appears to be an unlikely heroine. Verbally and physically abused by her loutish husband, Philo reluctantly abandons her five children to buy herself some much needed time to figure out how to restore her battered self-esteem and retool her seemingly hopeless future. Landing on the steps of the local convent seeking asylum, she proceeds to charm both the nuns and the members of the senior day-care center run by the good sisters. Drawing out the elderly residents of her crumbling dockside neighborhood, Philo gives them back their lives, rediscovering her own self-confidence in the process. Poignant, humorous, and featuring an irresistible cast of eccentric characters, this novel will captivate readers while restoring their faith in the unquenchable power of the human spirit
