I confess:
I did not do laundry this week. I should be doing it now, but I'm not. I promise I'll get to it. *eventually*
But, I have a really good excuse. I read a book instead. Oh, I know, I read all the time and you can read in between washing and folding, blah, blah. But I could not put this one down. It's one I bought at the grocery store. I was lookin at a bunch of different ones and decided to get the WWII historical novel. I grabbed it and put it in my cart, paid for everything and came home. As I was putting thr groceries away I realized I'd grabbed the wrong book. This was one about a teenager and a curse and the song "Scarborough Fair". You know...
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
Remember me to the one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine."
This was NOT the book I wanted. I was mad. I didn't think it was going to be any good. I was never a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I mean they are okay, but not my faves or anything. So I tossed the book aside and forgot about it. Then one day I was desparate for something to read. So I picked it up. I never put it down again.
Impossible by Nancy Werlin

Also, I could use a suggestion for what to read next....

LOL my confession starts with unfinished laundry as well :)
I love those kind of books .... but it's dangerous for me to read those kind of books.
Ha, with five people to do laundry for I am NEVER done. there is always laundry to do. Piles and piles of it!
You should write a book review!
Your excuse for not doing laundry was a lot better than the excuse I gave my husband as to why I didn't go grocery shopping. "The cat was watching a movie on Lifetime that she was really into, so I had to wait for it to play out...and by that time it was too late."
I'm not sure we have similar tastes in books, but here are a few of my recommendations: A Map of the World by Jane Hamilton, Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach.
That book sounds really good!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE bood recs!!
So what was the WWII one that you were going to get originally??
