What book are you reading?

@Sister
The months of June (scans) and December (clinic checkups) are off limits for planning anything. If December checkup is fine then I will plan on going somewhere from January to May. If June scan is fine then August to November. Silly I know however I will not jinks anything. My cancer was found 6 weeks before we were due to go on an escorted 19 day tour of NZ.  I changed the trip dates 3 times from May, to November and finally September to suit others. That's what you get for being "too nice" and trying to please everyone. Never again!

@Sister Now when I have 'big' days like that I leave the time afterwards empty. I make a deliberate choice to then examine myself to see precisely what I want to do. Straight home, a bar, a café, a movie, a friend's place? The decision is always made in the moment and so is exactly what I need at that time. K xox

I'm just about to start Marcus Zusak's new one, Bridge of Clay.  I wanted to go to hear him talk about it (now sold out) but it's a couple of hours after my 12 month review appointment with the surgeon.  Not that I'm thinking it will be anything bad but it seemed like tempting fate.  Anyone else that silly?

I'm going to buy it for the school library, @Romla!

You might be able to get the Sales book from state library online . I’ve been readin Laura Tingle’s Quartrely Essay on 
Leadership which is brilliant. Have been a bit of political junkie since 2016 when Trump was elected.

I would like to read the Sales one.  I've been reading the avocado book and while some of it is quite disturbing, other parts have had me crying with laughter - after all, I was there and remember it all!

@Sister, I've heard of that one. Like the title,  too. 
Just finished Jodi Picoult, Small Great Things.
Now reading the Leigh Sales book, Any Ordinary Day

Rusted Off - a sharp insight to rural politics.

Got one for the weekend - The Land Before Avocado.  Australia in the 60s and 70s.  I have to read it for the title if nothing else!
