Broken toe reading

Well, there has been a lot going on in the last two weeks. Colleges to visit, forms to fill out, hair issues with my poor daughter, work and then - breaking my fourth toe on Sunday. It was not the finish (or beginning, depending on opinion) to the week that I had been hoping for. But what are you going to do? Broken is broken and the biggest way to help it heal is to sit still and read.

Maybe a broken toe isn't so bad! It's true enough that I haven't had much time to read lately. And now I can do it guilt free. Nice!

So Far I have finished Second Skin by Caitlin Kittredge. Last June I won it in a raffle and have been meaning to read it for some time. It was pretty good, lots of action and groovy, dark spooky scenes. My only issue was that sometimes in all the action I had moments of confusion. The what and why weren't always clear to me. Overall though, it was a great book and I recommend it!

Now I am starting in on Happy Snak by Nicole Kimberling. I also won this - free books being my favorite kind - and it's an ebook. My only issue with ebooks is that I get really tired of staring at the screen and that I can't just sit anywhere, take my book from my purse, and start reading. I prefer paper, but free is free.

I'll probably finish this one in the next day or so. Even with a broken toe there is only so much sitting around that a person can do so I tend to get up and wander. When I'm done I'll post my thoughts on it and a couple of other books I've been meaning to write about.

In the meantime, I'll try to actually stay down and all of you watch where you're walking. Wooden toy boxes tend to pop up out of nowhere.
