Post Shavuot catch-up

Well, I didn’t finish the dress I’m making DD, so she wore some existing clothes for Shavuot (and was proclaimed very cute when we went out for lunch today). I finally just now got around to adding five books to the reading list from the past few weeks, only the last of which was actually finished today. I’m looking forward to talking about some of them here, at least, and will try to do at least one review tomorrow.

• The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. n
• Farewell, My Queen by Chantal Thomas. n
• Surprise Island by Gertrude Chandler Warner. n
• The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. n
• Wild Swans by Jung Chang. r
