The weather is turning more from our mild fall to a bit more winter like. They are talking rain with possibly snow mixing in. I still have to mow the lawn and chew up the last of the leaves, but otherwise the outside work is done.
Which means I can have more time to read. I really slacked off for nearly a week while I was on my big crochet project. I usually crochet for an hour to two on any given day. I wanted to get done quickly so I was probably working 4-6 hours a day. So much that I developed a sore thumb on my right hand where I hold the hook. I backed off my crochet for a few days but have started on my next project.
My friend is home from the hospital as of Monday, but waiting on the pathology report. She is in good spirits and ready for whatever comes next.
Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant a memoir of the author's early life up through graduating from the University of Michigan. His family has run a very large Chinese restaurant in Detroit for many years. Multi-generational as he and his siblings navigated the racial and cultural divides of their youth and the exploration of wider horizons and personal growth.
Oscar Wars is a look at the history of the Academy Awards over nearly a century of history. Book is not a year by year recital, but focuses on significant occurrences of goofs on the telecast; specific head to head competitions between films or actors and how some films got to be on top whiles other faded. A good recap of the history of Hollywood with the Oscars as the focus.
Happy Reading.
