I just finished a fantasy fiction by Mercedes Lackey and am now working through a mystery by J. D. Robb. What happens when you spend a weekend at the hospital with a sick kid…fiction to keep the mind-numbing boredom at bay, as well as the worries about your kid. She's fine and home recovering now.

 I recently purchased and immediately loaned out a book called Out Loud, the Best of Rainbow Radio. It is a book about South Carolina and its LGBT community told through personal stories. It was reviewed at  http://www.spartanburgspark.com/blog/2010/07/05/flying-oskar-out-loud-and-voices-from-south-carolinas-lgbt-community/?preview=true&preview_id=11544&preview_nonce=d83424f5c7 My friend who got to read it first ( I was facing finals week, and needed to be in study mode) enjoyed the book. I will start reading it this week.

I was a first Tammer this year at The Amazing Meeting and in an effort to not significantly increase the weight of luggage my husband and I only bought 2 books – Mistakes Were Made (but not by me) and Flim Flam. I have finished Mistakes and loved it. I passed it along to my mother with hopes that she would read it and not consider it a hint that she did something wrong as a parent. Hubby is half way through Flim Flam and I will devour it as soon as he is done. In the meantime, I download Bruce Hood's book SuperSense and Bad Astonomy by Phil Plait and The Portable Atheist by Christopher Hitchens all for my new Kindle. What are you reading because of or that you bought at TAM8?
