17. I remember reading The Lager Queen of Minnesota many years ago. It was a fun book.

I've started something that is not fun, but it was on my list and I decided that since it won the Pulitzer Prize, I would read it now. Jayne Anne Phillips' book, Night Watch. Well, I started it last night and think I'm in for a dark, spooky, creepy story. The writing is so good, but (so far), I'm not liking some of the characters.

Thanks for the weekly thread, hermetic. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and cat moms out there. I'm a cat mom and step mom and I'm celebrating.
