I held my Sunday Salon pretty much on Saturday when I started and finished Khaled Hosseini’s “A Thousand Splendid Suns”. I started at about 10:30 in the morning and ended at midnight. Wow, what a book! All I will say now is that this is definitely one of the best books I read this year. I could not put the book down. I will post a review in a separate post this week.
Since I was sick most of the past week, I spend lots of time on the couch where I made myself comfortable with hot tea, my bed cover and something to read, though I didn’t read much as I had a major headache for about four days. And I had first one and since Friday two cats to keep me company. The big one is Nirvana (aka Nirvo or The Mister) and he’s been with me for a while. The kitten arrived Friday. He is about two months old and his name is Archie (aka Kiddo; Archie comes from the Armenian word Ardchuk, which means Bear). The two took their time getting to know each other, but by now they are running around playing, jumping on each other, pulling each other’s tails. You can imagine how much fun it is just watching them.
Sunday I spent cleaning the house a bit, writing and reading in my “couch-bed”. I mostly read an old National Geographic from cover to cover. And of course laughing my head off because of the cats. Initially I felt like reading a book, but then I realized I still have three unfinished reviews and two that I haven’t even started writing. So I figured I might want to finish at least a couple of those before I add to the reviews-to-write.
Today I’m back at work, so no more lazy “couch-beds” for me.
In Europa - Geert Mak
Kindertijd Jeugdjaren Jongelingschap (Childhood Boyhood Youth) - Lev Tolstoy
We have two big couch-beds in our living room too.
The perfect place to read and snooze. Lucky you for having those adorable kittens to keep you company. Hope you’re feeling better this week.
