April Recap

I only read 4 books in April.

5516331

25072

I participated in the A to Z Challenge again.  Tried to double dip, with mixed results.

Cruised Earth Fair one weekend and Art Walk the following weekend.  Bought Britt a birthday gift at the latter, so I'm prepared for September. :)

The madre visited.

Received a free book from Australian Erin, as well as a bookshelf animal. First, I thought it was a kangaroo. But it's tailless, so then I thought it's a koala. But the face really looks like a kangaroo, so maybe they just left the tail off for kicks and giggles.  The book is the first one above. I liked it, but it's not for everybody. 

Couldn't get the wrapper off a plastic egg full of candy, so I used the cork screw part of a Swiss army knife. It worked, but I kind of sliced my hand open.

Nobody entered Round Four of my contest.  I guess nobody wanted to dye eggs pretty colors. :(

The NFL draft happened. Now I need something else to pointlessly obsess over to fill the void.

Anyway, if you're interested in visiting Australian Erin:

  1. Slicing your hand is no fun. I guess that’s the universe’s way of punishing you for having candy. Nothing could keep me away from candy, though. Happy May!

    4. It's the book from the give-away. Since I have a feeling you won't like it, I added Star Wars stuff I had gotten from cereal boxes.

  3. LOVE Jerzy Kosinski! But... don't know any of the others. John Niven, though, looks like something I might try. "Most exciting British novel since Trainspotting"? Yes, I could do that. Though I confess that I had to read Trainspotting out loud in order to make sense of it :D

    P.S> - Sorry about your hand.

    1. Ha. I cheated and saw the movie for Trainspotting. A lot of sex and drugs and the m.c. is a tool in Kill Your Friends. Quite entertaining though.

      Anyway, good luck with the dog book.
