Breezy

Perfect weekend, the temperature allowed the outdoor things to get done! Being out of commission for a bit, this is what I needed. I can’t conquer the leaves in my treeless yard, they are not done. It has been productive. Fresh air makes for a great sleep. The moment the work week ended, I was ninety percent outside. Fall is my second favourite season. Usually Sunday is the feet up day, but I can’t sit still. I feel reminiscent of so many things, my head is full of daydreams and plans. I will be in bed early.

I started watching a new show, but I pine for the written word. Time for a new set of books to fall into. There is no escape like the one a good book provides. As a kid it was my escape. I was always plowing through books, always had trouble putting them down. There is a huge change in kids when they are learning to read, another world opens up and getting lost there is never one I could argue with. Someone reading you a chapter book and having to wait for the next one, is worse than commercials on TV. When you are able to finally read them yourself, it is freeing. An adventure nobody can stop.

Someone asked me what kind of book I like, I can’t answer that. I am not bound by a genre. I like a book I can’t put down. One chapter either pulls you in or it doesn’t. I like when it hits you off guard. I like connecting with the characters, relatable or admirable, fierce or colourful. I like when you need to know more, a depth to the story that is just beyond reach that makes you turn the page. A story that makes you question how you feel or rethink how you perceive something. The page and words are deeper than what you can see. Give me sarcasm, give me rebellion, power, humour, give me a notion to be different. Actually, give me some titles… I need at least five fabulous reads!!
