Because of work, and sleeping in, and catching up on taped tv shows, and the rain, yesterday was a slow day for reading. The story is moving along in Irish Mist; I don't quite understand why Dermot doesn't think the Deputy Commissioner's one story doesn't connect with the O'Higgins story - Nuala did see a house on fire on the airplane. But I suspect he'll figure it out eventually.
I did enjoy Dermot's fight with the kidnappers - he finished it quite matter-of-factly; I'm getting used to these fights a bit though. So far every story (I think) has had at least one.
Today will also be a short day for reading - we've got church and then a birthday party for my aunt.
With all of the reading I do, I began to wonder if others would be interested in my thoughts and impressions of what I've read. Even if no one else is interested, I'll enjoy having these recorded.

About Me
- Ruth
- I love to read and write, so I'm putting the two together here. I am rather shy and quiet - until you get me talking about books and/or movies/tv shows I've read/watched. I have an extremely large extended family (my parents come from families of ten and eleven kids) so I am rather used to listening to multiple conversations at once - sometimes this can be helpful.
