The Gift



Back in the day when R used to call me up for our get to know each other chats prior to getting married, I guess the one thing he appreciated was that I like to read. He told me coupla weeks ago while we were discussing Nosh's reading that he expects to see her in various corners of the house curled up and reading like me, pretty soon. (The image made me laugh). Nosh reads to Reh now so we're thrilled and thats what we were talking about. At her ability not  - not that I dont need to read to them anymore! So on and off he brings me bestsellers from his trips and the first book he gave me was one from the Harry Potter series. I still remember feeling touched and wanting to laugh at the same time.

So last week he tells me on chat that I have a surprise coming in the mail. I cant imagine WHAT it is, he's not one for surprising and sure enough in a coupla minutes he told me what it was . (HAHAHAHAH!) At the time I figured it would be an unnecessary buy, I prefer a book anyday with the smell of paper and pages. Slowly but surely though, I have been thrilled with it. I've been taking it with me to the parking lot while I wait for Nosh n Reh, to a coupla doc appointments, took it with me when I went to Reh's school while he went in for more than an hour for his Kindergarten screening. Funny thing happened then, the principal of the school came by to say hello to the parents and she saw me reading and gave me this appreciative smile. Lol - was the funniest feeling. Back in school all over again.

Sixth sense

For some reason, something's been telling me to go to the library, get something for myself. There are few writers right now whose work I would put everything aside for and devour in hours. The rest I keep telling myself I will tackle someday.
And then guess what? I was blog hopping and a kind mom had this on her blog - Berg is out with her new book!! I cant wait for it to be 10:00 AM and head over to the library hoping against hope they have a copy I can take out today. Read the reviews and she seems to have delivered in her usual style. I can't wait. (Did I say that before?) I love her books. All of them however bad or good. I cant wait, I cant wait, I cant wait!!!
The Art of Mending
And then there's this one. HOW could I have missed it? HOW? HOW?? God knows she must have written it for me!
The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted: And other Small Acts Of Liberation
Now this one I'm sure I would have to request for. Bcos I did check out every Berg book they have there. Sigh - cosy afternoons here I come.
