I haven’t written in a while. I think the main reason is that with the slower days of summer I really appreciate the change of pace and relish the opportunity to get outside, exercise more, spend time with my kids, and I especially love having the time to read more.
I read a mix of things in the summer. I tackle a few
professional books, I read some young adult fiction, often my own kids’ summer
reading assignments along with a few disability inclusion themed selections,
and I read some good ole’ beach reads. I tend to gravitate toward light
mysteries and popular fiction.
So I picked up a freebie called “Sweets and a Stabbing” by
Harper Lin and expected to finish it in a day or two at most. Except that I was
barely into chapter one when I stumbled into this:
“Mr. O'Malley would never have confessed his infidelity at Gatto's Restaurant, causing the scene of Amelia blubbering and stammering away like someone suffering with Tourette syndrome.”
It stopped me in my
tracks.
