Showed up yesterday for the vetting process. I wasn’t exactly showing up for the entertainment value, but I did think it would be interesting to see the process at work. Uh…not really. Sat on the back row and read a book–finished it too.:) Thought I was dismissed but found out at 6 p.m. last night that I’m to show up again at 1:30 today. Guess I’ll take a new book today.

Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about
breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we
cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re
not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get
naked in front of someone else.”

See?! There is a silver lining to the less-than-dull responsibility of jury duty. You have a chance to catch up on your reading! What are you reading?
I am halfway through Lolita :s and recently started The BFG (y) . Go figure…

Ellen, I started a book that I won’t name cause I don’t like it. :s Which is a shame because I liked the other book I read by this author and was looking forward to it. What is The BFG? My brain is only inserting bad things. :p
LOL, Ginger, that you’ve read your best books there. And 4 times? That’s kinda odd, huh?
Kim, it’s not my idea of fun. Actually, I showed up for 15 minutes and they turned us loose today. Gotta call tonight after 6 and see what tomorrow brings.

Have fun today!
What book did you read? Was it good?

I mean today, Did you read any good book at your jury duty?

Barbara, the book I finished, which I really enjoyed, is a kid’s book. Well, YA I suppose. My daughter read it for school and I was reading it along with her. The Ransom of Mercy Carter by Caroline B. Cooney. It’s historical fiction based on events that have been chronicled as true but she’s fictionalized them. 1704 Deerfield, MA. Iroquois raid the village and take captives. 11-year old Mercy sees some of her family killed and is seperated from the rest on the 300-mile march north into Canada. It was fascinating. The Puritan captives were as frightened of the French Catholics as they were of the Iroquois.
