Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"
You might have wondered where I am. Or you might not care. But then you wouldn't be here reading this post. As Hazel Grace would say from TFIOS (The Fault in Our Stars by John Green) we "had a touch of cancer" in my family. Funnily enough, not the ha-ha funny but the coincidentally funny, it was the same kind of cancer Hazel Grace started out with. Thankfully, the prognosis is good, curable, and we've been through the treatment. I say "We" because it is a family process. Though we don't have the treatment done to us, we are right there waiting in the waiting room, changing our diets, holding hands, talking about our fears (or not in the case of teenage boys) and visiting doctors. It is scary for everyone. But my husband seemed the least worried. Why is it that the person who is sick always seems to be the bravest? Maybe it's just in the movies and books.But it's also my husband.So anyway, from April until just a few days ago, that's what I've been doing. That's where I've been.
My head has not been here and my heart has not been here. I haven't read too much and I'm not going to review what I've read in great detail. But I will let you know what I think about what I've read or listened to and my reviews are going to be short and sweet from now on.
So hello! I missed you, book lovers! I missed all the BEA buzz and the books that are coming out. I haven't read any reviews. And I haven't been purchasing any books unless they were part of a series I absolutely loved. I have read a few of the books I purchased a long time ago and I have to say I'm glad I waited until the hype died down before I read them.
So, I hope you are all well and you are wearing your sunscreen if you are out in the sun!! I hope it is sunny where you are. Enjoy the warm weather, especially those of you that had so much snow last winter!! Anyone watching Shark Week?? Yeah, I'm not getting in the water ever again! Stay safe, stay well and tell me about the books you recommend. I'm not reading issue books right now. But you can still tell me about a good one you've read. I missed my book blogaversary so I'm going to have to come up with something good for later in the summer.
Who would believe it Me and the Terminator- we're back!
Happy Reading!!
