"Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book"
---Jane Smiley
Well, this has been a rather hectic week here in South Florida. Hurricane Matthew is having trouble making up his mind as to which way he feels like going, and we are all a bit trepidatious. Unfortunately, hurricane prep has slowed down my reading, and I am not sure that we will have Internet access on Friday for us to post. Since everyone here needs to prep, we will not be adding any new books this week.
I am much like Jane Smiley though, and my stack of things to read is making me feel better. I ran out today, and after trying three stores I found what seems to be the last charging battery pack left in South Florida that will allow me to recharge my iPad mini twice without electricity. I will be reading and promise good reviews for next week, even if I am without electricity. Florida Power and Light tends to be iffy in big storms. For some reason we lost all power for two hours last night...just in time to miss the debate. I caught the last fifteen minutes though, and was glad to see what seemed like a normal debate. I guess FP&L is warming up for the big stuff.
Hoping everyone in Matthew's path stays safe, and wishing all who celebrate a happy and healthy New Year.
See you next week!
Happy reading,
Beverly
