And renovations are hard, and mostly worth it, but there will always be something to be done – so I say try not to stress about it too much (advice that I never took).

No, Kristin, I’m not interested. The circumstances surrounding its ‘discovery’ are too odd and, more importantly, her editor didn’t like it enough to publish it but redirected her towards Mockingbird. I feel as if, if it were a work she was proud of she would have published it while she still had the ability to discuss it and I don’t want to be disappointed after Mockingbird. If that makes sense. How about you? Have you read it?

Good idea! I love escapist reading. The hard part right now is reviewing. The reading still works but the writing is so hard when my brain is filled with so much house stuff- mirror size, where do you want that outlet, will the shower door fit…bleech.

Can totally imagine your brain is not really into reading. I do the same. Grab a book I have read before but forgotten most of the plot. This gives the idea I do not have to pay to much attention or I simply stare at some tv show.

Good luck with the home stretch!

Congrats on getting the unpacking green light – that’s great news!
