Blue Plate Special A Novel of Love, Loss, and Food by Frances Norris - It's been three or four days since I finished this book, and all I remember about it is that it wasn't about a 1950's diner and that at some point the narrator's voice started annoying me. I may not have finished it if my luggage had arrived along with our plane to LAX on a Saturday morning. I didn't get the suitcase (and the other books I'd brought to read) until late Tuesday. So I read... A recently orphaned 34 year old woman who doesn't like her job as a food photographer for a free lifestyle/food magazine, finds her way in the world. The cover is sweet, the title is good, but after that build-up....eh.
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen - At the elementary school library where I sometimes substitute, this is a well-worn, often checked out book. It's an easy read for 3rd - 6th grade readers about a new boy in middle school trying to make the best of things. The larger story is about an environmental issue in Florida, which I was happy to learn more about since encountering it when I was in Marco Island for the first time last winter. It's a sweet little read.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
