When books take over your life....

I haven't had a good book since the last CJ Box book came out.  It's been an awful drought.  It's so very frustrating when you don't have a good book to read.  I feel like my brain goes to mush. 

Of course the other side of this is when you have a really good book.  It takes over your life.  The kids don't eat dinner, you're late for work, you hide in the bathroom, stay up way too late reading and then wake up in the morning and start over again! 

I'm in the middle of one of these books right now.  It's called The Other Boleyn and it's by Philippa Gregory.  I love historical fiction (one of many types of book genres I like).  And this story just sucked me right in. How can you pass up a powerful love affair--or two--with a dashing King?  The good sister struggling to be free and the conniving sister rising.  It's an interesting view of court life...and it will make you think twice before you criticise the end of Ann Boleyn.  I'm not finished reading the book yet and I'm ready to see it happen....

 

When I'm done reading the book, some friends and I are going to go see the movie. It's a long book, so it will be interesting to see if the Hollywood version can do it justice.  But best of all, Philippa has written other books as well.  So I will have something else to look forward to when I'm done.  Oh and CJ Box has a new book coming out in May as well.  I may just make it till then.

For the family...more pictures of the kids coming soon.  I just need to load them on the computer this weekend.
