Rain, Rain...Stay!
It rained all day today and now it's thick with fog. I love this sort of weather. Despite it being rainy, it was still incredibly warm. We're getting there on the temps! And, being totally, completely in love with the rain, I wanted to start my baby girl out early. We bundled her up, wrapped her in two blankets, hid her beneath an umbrella, and took her outside for a few minutes. She slept the whole time! Next spring, I'll be treating her to a pair of those cute rain boots and a coat so we can play in the rain. I can't wait!
I just finished reading A.S. King's The Dust of 100 Dogs. Wow. That book is made of awesome. King doesn't hold back when it comes to the main character, Emer/Saffron. I loved the details of Emer's life as a pirate. I sort of wish we'd seen more of her butt kicking. I could probably read an entire book from Emer's POV.
I also bought The Forest of Hands and Teeth and Some Girls Bite, the latter of which I blazed through. I was disappointed with a few things, mainly the climax and conclusion. I think I was expecting an epic finish, and it didn't exactly go that way. Still, I remain hooked. I'll definitely buy the second book.
