The Woes of an Olympic Junkie Bibliophile

 I will admit it…I am an Olympic junkie. I have been glued to the television to cheer Michael Phelps on to win his 8 gold medals and to cry along with Nastia Liukin as the “Star-Spangled Banner” was played. Yes, I love to watch diving, the track and field events, beach volleyball and everything else. I’m not an athletic person so I truly admire those who can do these amazing things and so I must confess….I am an Olympic junkie!

                                                                              

 Alas, during this time, I haven’t been reading as much as I have been this summer and my list continues to grow! There are too many books to read and not enough time so naturally, I’m trying to read at any opportunity I have…

                  …I was the driver for my mother this weekend and she was quite surprised  when she asked me for a pen that I had three books in my purse…Seducing Mr. Darcy by Gwyn Cready (it’s delicious), A Rather Curious Engagement by C.A. Belmond (it’s charming) and The Moneypenny Diaries edited by Kate Westbrook (a neat twist to the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming). I never found the pen for her but at least I had my books to read while I waited for her!

Oh well….Go U.S.A.! and Happy Reading!                                       ~Donna
