Life and Books

A couple days ago I asked my sister Emily what my next blog post should be about.  After I ignored some rather ridiculous ideas (like a post all about her cat eating), she suggested a book review. I thought that was perfect since I had just finished a fantastic book, The Hidden Hand.

I sat down full of confidence, and placed a piece of crisp white paper in front of me opened a word document.  Suddenly, I remembered that I don't enjoy writing and have severe writer's block. Plus, the book is so suspenseful that I didn't want to give anything away.  That said, I'll just just keep it short.

 This amusing and suspenseful book is about a girl called Capitola Black. She has a sharp mind that gets her into plenty of trouble, but also helps her get out of mischief more than once. It is definitely a page turner and has kept various members of my family up till the wee hours of the morning. 

Despite my lack of writing skill, I can take pictures and I have a marvelous time doing so. So here are various scenes from my life in the past week. 

Sometimes I feel like being a cat for a day, curled up in the sunshine with nowhere to go and nothing to do but sleep. And instead my desk (below) is rather full of things for me to do.
