Easy like Sunday morning is
something I’m not familiar with. Sundays
mean homework, football matches and running around getting ready for the week ahead.
Last Sunday however, my
husband was playing golf, one son was at a sleepover, and the other had his
football match cancelled and was practising being a teenager by staying in bed
as long as he could.
So I decided that, “if you
can’t beat ‘em, you should join ‘em” and stayed in bed too. Only my lie in included a cup of tea and a
good book.
Normally I read in short
bursts when I get the time, but on Sunday I decided to indulge in a long
luxurious read. It was bliss!
It’s a long time since I’ve
read any Erica James books, but my mum passed some of them on to me the other
week, and I’d made a start on A Sense of Belonging, earlier in the week.
Erica writes about strong,
independent women, who, whilst ambitious, aren’t afraid to fall in love. Her
books are also set in Cheshire, close to where I grew up, which adds an extra
interest.
I forgotten how much I enjoyed her books, and
this was no different. I can honestly
say I didn’t want to put the book down, so guess what? I didn’t. I was sad to finish it though and can’t wait
to start on the next when I get a minute.
I love that your son is practising being a teenager :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so weird - you are the third person today who has recommended Erica James. I'm going to have to treat myself :-) x
Hi Teresa
ReplyDeleteShe is a treat, I'd forgotten how much! A nice bit of escapism.
