It’s a cloudy day for a Monday morning and it’s still dark outside. I hope I’ll be able to finish trimming our carabao grass this afternoon if it doesn’t rain.
I’ve browsed lately and read Lucy Torres’ articles in the national daily Philippine Star. She is a congresswoman from Ormoc City in the south and a celebrity in her own right. She has a byline almost every Sunday and I read it online. I have read her writings for a number of years now and I like how she shares her life with her actor husband Richard Gomez and their only child Juliana. Time and again I’ll blog about her. I’ve found her old posts and she recommended a certain author by the name of Ruth Reichl. Ruth is an author on various books on food. Lucy recommended three of Ruth’s best-selling memoirs on food entitled Tender at the Bone, Comfort Me With Apples and Garlic and Sapphires. I read the summaries at Goodreads and all the three books have four stars each. I wish I could find copies on my next foray at Booksale. I love memoirs. I am presently reading another memoir of Francis Mayes called Under Magnolia. If you remember she is also the author of that lovely book Under The Tuscan Sun which was adapted into a film that I watched twice on tv. I have several books on my “currently reading list”. When I start one and couldn’t get into the story all that much, I look for another…haha!
Don’t you just love being curled under white sheets with a hot cup of coffee or tea while reading? Don’t you just love finding titles and discovering new authors? Ah, the beauty of being a senior citizen, some wonderful days just spent reading and enjoying every minute.
What book is on your night table? Are you fond of reading too?
