I went on a library book binge in April, and now I'm judging the INSPY awards and have to read 5 specific books for that by mid-June, and my TBR pile has suffered much neglect accordingly. However, people say <i>Swallows and Amazons</i> is a great summer read, so I'm hoping to get to it in the next few months!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-50190666442248944142017-05-07T22:09:55.640-04:002017-05-07T22:09:55.640-04:00Good for you!

If I'm starting to stress out over all the stuff I need to get done in the near future, whether it's for a busy day or because I've got some big event coming up, I just sit down and make a list of what needs doing, and then the stress melts away because I don't have to feel like I'm going to forget important Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-84153523266335788602017-03-08T22:42:29.313-05:002017-03-08T22:42:29.313-05:00I love that you don't find lists daunting.

I actually tried to go see it in the theater with my sister-in-law when it first came out, but it was sold out! And then I never got another chance at it. The only version I've ever seen is Alan Ladd's, so it's going to be cool to see another interpretation.
