Behind On My Book Reading
Things here have been so hectic of late that I just haven’t had time to read the books I’ve been sent to review. So tonight’s plan is to sit down with a highlighter, a martini and my copy of Why You’re Wrong About The Right: Behind the Myths (The Surprising Truth About Conservatives) by by S. E. Cupp and Brett Joshpe.
Recently, a long-time friend of mine expressed surprised when I mentioned that I’m a registered Republican. “But you read National Geographic and Smithsonian,” she said. “You have gay friends. You can’t be Republican. You’re nice.”
Cupp and Joshpe’s book arrived the very next day, and I’ve been looking forward to reading it ever since. Unfortunately, stress over my mother and father-in-law’s health has left me a bit too frazzled to crack open the cover. But tonight that’s exactly what I plan to do.
Not that I can read such heavy fare all evening, mind you. I like to curl up with a novel at bedtime, so I’m very glad to have received an advance copy of The Whiskey Rebels by David Liss, a thriller set in the years following the Revolutionary War.
Did I mention that VH is conveniently returning home tonight from a 4-day visit with his family in Minnesota? Four long days during which I’ve been parenting solo and today watching my friend’s two kids as well as my own.
Yeah, I’m definitely having a martini while I unwind with a good book. Or two. Books, that is.
Okay, maybe two martinis, too.

I love how being a conservative or a Republic translates to some people. I get the same responses as a conservative in a social services field – evil conservatives can’t possibly want to help poor folks better their lives.
People amaze me every single day.
And I may check that book out.
jaes last blog post..More whining – continue at your own risk
Oh, I imagine people are quite shocked to discover a conservative in that field!
I caught Cupp and Joshke on C-SPAN not too long ago. They’re very witty and engaging. I have too much on my plate right now to add much to the reading pile, but I’d sure like to give that one a read one of these days.

It’s a very engaging book. I didn’t get to read as long as I’d planned last night, unfortunately. We wound up spending time with our neighbors and after that I was pooped. I plan to read more tonight, though.
