There may still be two weeks of school left, but my summer reading arrived today.
I first became acquainted with Bernard Cornwell when I read his Starbuck Chronicles set in the War Between the States. After a long period of contemplation, I decided to read his Saxon Stories set in the time of Alfred the Great. I have just finished The Last Kingdom and ordered the other three books in the series.
I have also been wanting The Sign of the Cross: The Gesture, the Mystery, the History by Andreas Andrepoulos. I thought I was getting it for Christmas, but that didn’t happen. I should have time to digest it this summer as well, so I bought it at the same time as the Cornwell books.
The only down side is that when I read books, I want to write them. Sadly, six weeks isn’t enough time to do that, too.

Sol,
you could always start writing during one holiday and continue during the next holiday, couldn’t you ?
Or would inspiration desert you if you weren’t consistent in your writing ? I haven’t written any fiction in about 18 months, as my creative muse has utterly deserted me……
