#20

So, what did you do this summer?
I read books. {not a bad summer, if you ask me}
#20 for the year is Calling Invisible Women by Jeanne Ray {who is Ann Patchett's mother, who knew?}  It was a great little read with a very interesting plot.  Seems these women, due to a drug interaction problem, really become invisible.  Not figuratively, which most people assume, but literally.  And most of the families don't even notice right away.  It's a fresh look on relationships ~ great characters & funny moments.  She makes the impossible seems not so far fetched & very entertaining.  I will read more of Mrs. Ray.

Quotes:
p9 ~ why are you making an assessment of your face?  Your only two options are to fix it or live with it.  There's no point in just beating yourself up about it.

p100 ~ but then the kids who were coming in weren't kids I'd taught before, and I had to learn how to control them on my own.  In the end it really isn't so different from teaching second grade.  You just have to always be bigger than they are.  Even when you're not. {oh so very true of any classroom}

p156 ~ The truth, we realize as we get older, is a very complicated pastiche of feelings and facts, of what can and cannot be said.  It's different for everyone.
