I was doing really well with my reading, and then the Olympics came on. I love watching them, so if I am quiet here, never fear, I am cheering Canada on!
When are we going to win a medal?? Two fouth-place finishes now....the closest we have come. I enjoy the competition, and usually we are more competitive.
My own 'Olympic' reading is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, which I am enjoying so very much. Why did I wait so long to read it? Ditto Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes.
Hope you are enjoying the Olympics, or if you don't care, then I hope you have a wonderful book to take you through this middle week of August, and the coming full moon eclipse on Saturday. It makes people a little crazy, don't you know, eclipses of the moon.....so Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a perfect book to read!

I'm enjoying the Olympics, but New Zealand is probably doing similar to Canada. The closest we've come is a fourth in the swimming - and the national channel carrying the coverage lost the sattelite signal just as the race ended. Lots of people were unhappy.
Did you change your colors (blog colors)? I like the green and I don't remember it being green.
You won't be surprised to hear that The Bears have ben camping out in the television room ever since the Olympic started and although they've had a little more to cheer on the GB front I have to say it's been noticeably quite in there.
I really ought to try 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' again oughtn't I? I really didn't get very far last time.
To be honest I haven't really been following the Olympics. Its been either sunny, so that I go out frolicking, or pouring down with rain, so I curl up next to an open window with a book! Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a fabulous book choice! I hope you love it as much as I did.
The Olympics have been interfering with my reading time, too.
