Book #5

I finished Bringing Home the Birkin. In the end, it turned out to be a nice fluffy book to read. It definitely held my attention during my train ride to Boston. I enjoyed the thrill of the hunt for the Birkins, the amusing interactions with all of the different types of salesclerks as Hermes. What a life to live...jetting from country to country, city to city, in seek of the ever elusive crocodile Birkins. I will admit, I am a bit skeptical of the timing of some of the events described in the book. Some seemed to be too conveniently timed together to create a sense of drama. Otherwise, entertaining choice.

So, for Book #6, I think I'm going to return to the Percy Jackson series with The Titan's Curse. I'm hoping it's a lot better than The Sea of Monsters.

ETA: Apparently, it's only Book 5. Must have mislabeled in previous entries. Whoopsies!

In city life, I am looking forward to going to St. John the Divine tomorrow with my students! I have never been to the Cathedral, so I am uber excited to see all of the amazing architecture and fantastic geometric designs.
