The Pirate’s Daughter - ok, so maybe I’ll become an “avid” reader yet!

I just finished another book – it took me 2 weeks, like a normal person, and I did find it relaxing! Yey, right?!

The story was based in Jamaica, and you’ve got to love the use of the word broughtupsy in a novel! I can’t be certain that I did not enjoy it more because of the many West Indian references, but I did find that it was an escape from my life and I looked forward to reading it on my train rides. The descriptions of the island and people were really vivid and her analogies were really interesting!

Anyone read it? What did you think?

Since the whole reading thing is going so well, I got Dear John today, which is sort of timely, as it is somewhat based around 9/11 – I am not sure really, since I only read 1 chapter so far – I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thoughts from Specs

The cover of this book seems pretty interesting.

Hmm, Shazi the book-reader,kick-boxer,working-mom is somewhat a long way from what i was reading here a year ago.

Finally, you’re getting some time to unwind, in a manner of speaking, even if its on the way home. Sounding good!

Keep reading!
