Mid-Month Update

 Well, obviously I have not been checking on my blog entries. I really thought I had written in June. I've been very busy reading and cleaning out books from the garage, but I really thought I had taken some time to write. Guess not.

Current reading: 1. Moby-Dick  2. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher  3. Die Before Sundown  4. When We Were Young and Brave

I also have two other books I go to occasionally and can read less often because of the writing style; more of a diary style. 1. Lincoln on Democracy  2. Reporting WW2

I will add another book to the current reading by mid-week for the book club in the last week of the month: The Girl with a Clock for a Heart.  It's actually a re-read, but I need to refresh my mind.

In the meantime, I am struggling with my writing (you only have to look at this blog). I have put neither thought nor writing into my novel or my memoir.  Sad, I know. What can I tell you?

A couple of positives this month - with the cleaning of books in the garage and relocating some books on some shelves, I have found a couple from my "Find Books" file. But I still am looking for several more. I can only hope they are shelved behind others. I will get to them.

Enough for now; on to some reading.

NOTE: I did buy Doris Kearns Godwin's latest, a memoir about her and her husband, Richard Goodwin.
