osprey_archerWhat I’ve Just Finished Reading
It’s been All Hummingbird Cottage All the Time up in here, but I did manage to finish Angela Brazil’s A Popular Schoolgirl, which sadly is only sort of a boarding school book. Our heroine Ingred boards during the week, but goes home on weekends, which doesn’t lend itself to that enclosed hothouse boarding school feel. A pleasant read but not memorable.
What I’m Reading Now
Dipping into books about houseplants and gardening mostly! Contemplating whether I would like to have a little indoor tree to go in the not-exactly-bay window that wraps around the northwest corner of the house. Possibly a Meyer lemon? The book makes it sound like you can actually get lemons off an indoor Meyer lemon, which does not appear to be the case with most indoor plants…
What I Plan to Read Next
Siddhartha Mukherjee’s The Gene: An Intimate History. My students rave about this book, and since they read it for a class, I believe that means that I can justify reading it on the clock once the slow summer season begins.
