I am in need of a good book to read. I finished the two Bridget Jones books and also A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. Now I find myself at loose ends, looking around for something that will really occupy my mind. Want to recommend something good? Write me!

What I'm really wishing for is a new Harry Potter book... but I'd rather not sacrifice quality for speed. So take your time, Ms. Rowling...

Over to the right is a picture of Queen Anne's Lace growing in my backyard. Sunday was a pretty day, and I got outside with the camera and took some pictures of the trees and flowers. (The few flowers we have, I should say. We are soooooo not gardeners.)
