I actually finished last week's book, "Venus Envy" by Shannon McKelden on Sunday, but am just finally sitting down to write about it. Venus Envy is a cute story. Venus (aka Aphrodite) has pissed off her father, Zeus, and been banished from Mount Olympus to Earth, where she is assigned to act as fairy godmother to unhappy women. Rachel, her latest victim...godchild...has sworn off men and fills all of her spare time with volunteering, despite the fact that she is being pursued by Luke...a very hot firefighter who is featured as Mr. March in the local fire department calendar. Again, cute story, fairly predictable plot. Considering it only cost me a dollar, it was worth the money - good for a light hearted summertime read.
I'm sure my reading time will cut back now that I have used up every last day of this year's vacation time and am back to work. With schools opening in the next couple weeks and my team returning from their extended summer break, I am crazy at work. But, I am going to keep on with this, if only to give me something to do besides stress about things that are not getting done!
The weather outside is frightful here in RI - cold and rainy. I feel as though I haven't been able to get warm in the last two days. I actually turned on the heat in my office today. But this is perfect weather for curling up on the couch with a book and a cup of tea (or a glass of wine).
This week I'm reading "The Visitation" by Frank Peretti - another book sale pick up.
