Well, it really hasn't been a vacation, but I've been attacked by several little viruses, generously shared with us by Jeanne who picked them up at the day care centre. The upshot is that I've been taking it easy more, and reading more light stuff than research material.
A list of what I've just finished or am part way through :
Books for various book clubs I'm involved in:
Caleb's Crossing by Genevieve Brooke
The Midwife of Venice by Roberta Rich
Les derniers jour de Smokey Nelson by Catherine Mavrakakis
The Paper Garden: Mrs. Delaney Begins Her Life's Work at 72 by Molly Peacock
Gifts and Loans:
The Theft of History by Jack Goody
The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowlings
Three Finalists from the Quebec Writers' Federation awards:
Straphanger by Taras Grescoe
Tell It to the Trees by Anita Rau Badami (also a finalist for the IMPAC Dublin Prize)
All the Voices Cry by Alice Petersen
Sometimes feeling rotten can be productive!
