Book Two: Cecelia Ahern: "Where Rainbows End"

Pages:584

My new read...well, I've already finished it so not that new I guess...was so hard to put down that I actually ended up reading it till the 1 o'clock at night. It was a story of two best friends Rosie and Alex from the age of six or seven and finished in their fifties. It nearly gave me a heart attack as I wanted the main characters to get together so much. I absolutely loved the story and the idea of writing a book consisting of letters, emails or instant messages only.Cecelia is a genius I can't get enough of her books.

And the Book Club was such a step forward to me. It was exactly how I imagined it would be. There it was, in the library at 6.30 pm, around 10 ladies gathered to discuss a book of the month. It wasn't like school at all, thank God, but more like casual, social gathering of people who love books. I felt so good even on my way there, it was just my thing so instead of a buggy I had a bag full of books. I felt like a student again. The weather was nice and it was a pleasure to walk. I really feel very hopeful in this new journey of mine.I loved the coffee, I loved the friendly faces, the atmosphere. So now I have two books to read for next month: Lloyd Jones "Mister Pip" recommended by Jack and Judy and David Wroblewski's (not Polish though)"Story of Edgar Sawtelle"(Oprah's Book Club). The second one is extra as it won the hearts of all the members of the book club. I'm a bit afraid of that one as it has almost 600 pages, very small print and not so easy to read language (maybe that's how they write in Wisconsin) so keep your fingers crossed.

Now the most important part: Thankfully I don't have much time to read now as I WRITE. I write, write and write and feel excellent and I really love that. Hopefully in 3 months I'll finish it and then I can start preparing myself, Nik and Nataniel for the big trip to Australia. I want to go there for few years now and maybe now it will finally come true.

As for my cooking skills they seem to take a break as lately my beetroot cake looked like a volcano and my seafood sauce...was good ...but cold (I forgot to warm it up before pouring over the potatoes during a party with our friends from Dundalk). I'm forgetful again. If I wasn't sure I would think that I'm pregnant(it was like my head went for holidays during the whole 9 months). Eh, hopefully the phase will pass and I'll be a Super Dooper Master Chef again.
