Jun. 10th, 2017 06:31 pmGraceling is continuing to not be the book for me.
Don't know why.
The boy got left behind and now she's climbing mountains and she just fought a lion, which really ought to be exciting.
And yet it holds my attention so well I have rearranged my bookshelves and carried things between rooms until two whole shelves of the bookcase I'm getting rid of are clear.
Progress is nice, but this book is going to the charity shop when I'm done with it.
I keep washing my hands. Even once I've dusted and wiped everything, old things just have the idea of grime. It's awkward.
But I have given myself ample time for the task, so I can stop whenever it starts messing with my head, and wait as long as I please before trying again.
Is best way.
Also today two books I pre ordered arrived, both some weeks before I expected. But they'll almost certainly be good to read, so yaays. I just worry for the author's sales figures, but it's not like I can do anything about that.
I need to stop eating biscuits. But I keep thinking of so many good excuses. Like, "there is a biscuit right there." That's a compelling one. Still. There is such a thing as too many biscuits.
I have been told.
Today in my house, pretty good.
