Uninspired

But first, good news: our kitchen has stayed clean for over a week! Maybe a week and a half by now! It turns out that if I have headphones in while I wash dishes after the kids are in bed, it’s almost like time to myself. A tiny glimmer of self-discipline – how exciting!

Aside from that, though, I feel distinctly blah and uninspired today, and you probably noticed that I haven’t written in a while. I simply have nothing interesting to say.

What would you like to hear? I’ve read quite a few new books recently, but don’t feel up to writing reviews yet. And nothing much else has happened. Maybe I’ll write an update on the kids for you – with pictures? Let’s not be too optimistic.


The Hidden Gallery

by Maryrose Wood

{ 2011 | Balzer + Bray | 320 pgs }

As the second book in Wood’s The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, The Hidden Gallery provides a few more answers about those incorrigible children. There’s still plenty of mystery, but I felt that the plot here had much more direction than did the first book. Writing: good. Illustrations: good. Read the first, read the second. Then wait for the third to come out!
