I have been out of the blogos...Hello dear Susan! <br /><br />I have been out of the blogosphere for quite some time as well, so I apologize that I had no idea of your knee surgery or your son's hospitalization. I am glad that everyone has pulled through however, and I hope that we can both keep in touch throughout the summer.<br /><br />I wish that I could handle stress by reading books. Unfortunately, I tend to turn inward and just churn over events in my mind until I am numb. I think I am over that hump, though, and plan to start reading again before school starts.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-13291334967659075282011-06-28T22:14:10.662-04:002011-06-28T22:14:10.662-04:00Chris: Hello to you too, my friend!

Now that I know you all love my fairy, I'll post some more pictures of who is in my garden :-)<br /><br />Cath: you haven't seen my reccs yet! I have like 20 of them! lol Yes, it's been good to get into my garden, so good that I could do some work in it. I still can't kneel, but just being in the plants helps. where are you going for your break? I'll have to check and see.....<br /><br />Emily: lol! a reason to get into garden, so you can have fairies in it! You always find a way to make me laugh. Persepolis was amazing, wasn't it? and yes, I'm working to that 100 books read total too. Have you still kept to your promise to take the summer off?<br /><br />Gavin: How was Neil Gaiman? never mind me, I want to hear how his reading went! lol Thank you, and I'm glad to be back too.<br /><br />Daphne: thank you so much. It has been nice to do all that reading - better than nice, I have a really satisfied and contented feeling now! lolSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-38862634253867557732011-06-28T18:54:02.677-04:002011-06-28T18:54:02.677-04:00So nice to "see" you again!

I'm like you: when the going gets rough, I retreat into books. I loved Persepolis (all her books I've read, actually) and glad you so enjoyed that one. I'm not at my goal of 50 books halfway through the year, either, but I'm working on that 100 for the year nonetheless. <br /><br />Stay well and enjoy all the reading.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-34165209837513354372011-06-27T04:16:29.612-04:002011-06-27T04:16:29.612-04:00It's so nice to see you back, Susan.

I hope the worst is now behind you and you can set about enoying the summer in your garden... and lots of books of course! LOL.<br /><br />Lots of good recs in your post so I'll be looking those up either this morning or when we get back from our short break later this week.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of the mess that's happened :( Hope your son is doing well now. Oh I'm so with you on books and gardening just being total solace.

I love my garden and i hope you enjoy the results of your veg patch! what are you growing?<br /><br />I'll let you know as I start reading the Pellinor books, they do look very good. I would never have found them without you!

Yes, it is amazing how much we need reading sometimes, isn't it? <br /><br />Chris: Thank you :-) Oh yes, it has been great to read and no one is complaining about nothing getting done! lol My husband is great and really stepped up, I'm very lucky. He gets mad when I do too much because my knee always gives me away. <br /><br />animewookie: thank you so much! So am I, it's such a relief to have some things getting to normal again.<br /><br />StephanieD: Thanks! wait until you see the list of books I read! I hope to tempt you with some of them :-D <br /><br />Kathleen: Usually I'm the one jealous of others for their reading, so it's a change to hear this said to me! I'm sad it took a knee injury to get me to read so much (and not watch movies etc instead), and I plan on keeping it up. It's been wonderful to read so much. And like with Stephanie, I hope to tempt you.....<br /><br />Eva: we were lucky with Graham, he had cellulitis and we caught it before it developed into something worse. I've been taking some time to recover, though as you know I have checked in once in a while.

(I'm working on mu first veg patch and its a bit overwhelming sometimes!)<br /><br />I did indeed recommend the Books of Pellinor for some great fantasy escapism with really wonderful characters. I do hope you love them too. And Persepolis is a truly unique and moving read...enjoy!<br /><br />All the best xxmarielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153519657364894012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-70497808469188106132011-06-26T14:27:46.436-04:002011-06-26T14:27:46.436-04:00I was just wondering if you were ok!

I'm glad to hear that you have been reading a lot. Also glad that you're able to enjoy your garden again. I totally understand what you mean about reading being a comfort, an escape, a solace. It is for me too and it's amazing how much I need it at certain times of my life. Glad you are feeling better and here's a virtaul hug for you {--}! Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
