Excuses, excuses

Current book: A Clockwork Orange
Pages read: 76 -177 (end)

I'm a bad blogger, but I just don't have time this week. Something has to give, and since it can't be work and I won't let it be seeing my husband, my exercise routine, or my mental health, it's the blog. If you want, you can pretend it's because I'm sick. I'll probably update tomorrow, and if not then, definitely Friday. Back on track next week, I swear.

  1. Appy polly loggies accepted. Have to confess that I didn't figure that out the first time I read it.

  2. Hey, Claire - Talk of the Nation is discussing how Harper Lee may have had a bit to do with "In Cold Blood," contrary to humans alleging that Truman Capote was responsible for a bit of "To Kill A Mockingbird." Apparently he envied her winning of the Pulitzer, and never denied the rumor.

    What a jerk!
