I was going to write about my horror story of rereading MDK (not the content, no; this physical volume borrowed from the library). There would be pictures of a mutilated book which may not be safe for those who get queasy or upset by this sort of sight. But I am running out of time to write about books and walked in the door only at 11pm.

I’ll try to write about it next week.

So, quickly other books:

“Be Your Own Brand: A Breakthrough Formula for Standing Out from the Crowd” by McNally, David
This is not what I thought it was and I slept through the book. There is a worksheet in the last 2-3 pages but it wasn’t anything super exciting or inspiring. Which is what I needed and was looking for.

“The Phantom Tollbooth” by Juster, Norton
Oooh how I missed this book. I recall reading it some summer day when I was little and was totally impressed. I’ve found that many haven’t heard of it (the same group that hadn’t heard of Harold and the Purple Crayon what on earth were you reading as children?!). I borrowed this from the library as I couldn’t find my copy when I went to visit mum. If you haven’t read it .. go .. I’ll wait. It’s short.

“Acorna’s People” by McCaffrey, Anne
This is a continuation of the Acorna series. I’m not totally enamored with these books but at the same time have a disease in which I can’t stop reading until I exhaust the series. Acorna did have a great quote which I forgot to write down and will thus paraphrase: “I want zebra stripes [projects image of zebra]” .. “you’ll stand out” said the colourist. “I seem to stick out no matter what I do”, mused Acorna.
My sentiments exactly..

“Rails-to-Trails New York: The Official Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Guidebook” by Della Penna, Craig
This is a guide to multi-use trails in NYS which were once railroad tracks. Most are asphalt and such. I am itching to get on some (even though am looking at alternates for the upcoming weekend). Sadly most are at least 2 hours from us so they require planning ahead.

I think there was more but it will need to wait until next week.

I leave you with my begging and pleading with you to PLEASE SIGNAL when driving. It is for other cars and pedestrians. How I wish I could give out tickets!!

Dentist tomorrow, not a moment too soon!
