The year in books - March and April

I got a bit behind.  Slowed down a bit.  Changing your meds can do that to you.  You know, my thyroid meds.  You just don't understand how important that one little hormone is until you mess with it.  It's leveling out, and so am I.

I spent March and April working my way through Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices Series.   Let me take this opportunity to just say Wow!  I liked the twists, turns, and the unexpected ending.  I mean, I hoped, but never dared to dream that she would see it through.  I'm now interested in starting the Immortal Instuments by the same author.  However, first we are taking a detour.

I've started reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened, by Jenny Lawson.  First let me tell you, I'm not one for memoirs.  Not since Erma Bombeck have I laughed this hard.  At times I am ashamed of laughing, because let's face it, it's not nice.  Other times, I'm howling, because I've been there.  Right there.  Turkeys and all.  I'm loving this book.  Maybe one day I'll get to meet Jenny, and we can stare at each other missing small talk and smiling.  She's brilliantly illuminating.  Thank you.
