Well, I'm off to Montreal tomorrow. Time to see the husband, huggle the cats, and pick up some things. I haven't been saying yet that I've really really moved to Nanaimo yet. I don't think it will feel that way until either (a) this time when I return, or (b) when I get a job.
It's been a helpful month. My brain feels cleared up.
I at least cleared up my reading list by today.
Here are the ways I categorize books in Goodreads:
(Swiss Girl likes to joke about how much she likes making lists. I love categorizing.)
Here are my reads since arriving Feb 22, by category:
NOW READING
King Lear, and a Dalgliesh mystery (my first.)
READ
Mindsight (the book about how to change your brain)
Stigmates et BBQ - My one French author whom I like so much, and this book was a total disappointment!! I skim read the last quarter tonight.
An old Crusie.
A Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
And Mitford's The Pursuit of Love which was my fave fiction read.
GAVE UP
* Jane was another disappointment, but a cheap one.
UNFINISHED (or read parts of, for short stories)
* Love in a Cold Climate (Mitford) I put aside for now. I think I'd reached my limit of WWI - WWII literature.
* The Katie Fforde I left in Montreal cause it's so big. I'll bring it back with me.
Now that you've been updated on my mania, I should finish packing and go to bed.

SUSHI!
Have a safe trip ... and bring back some sunshine if you can. it's getting a bit glum on the lake with all this misty-ness and brooding hills.
I've let my Goodreads lapse. So many things to do and take care of. I'm still reading though, and probably more than ever. Maybe I should find my password and go back. : )
Have a safe journey and a wonderful and warm reunion with F and the kitties.
Hope you have a good time on your trip and get enough hubby and cats to last you until next visit.
Loved the insights into your goodread!
@swis oui sushi
@widders I will if I see any
@Robena I think I find it so fun to keep track of what I've read that I don't mind the time.
@jjj Thanks!
