book review

So the next book I read from my library book club was called "Forest Lover". It was a really good book, I liked how it made me think of things differently. It was a book about Emily Carr a very famous, west coast, Canadian painter. Now I have never loved or even liked her paintings much but reading from her point of view what she would try to accomplish when she made a painting made me appreciate and even like her artwork. I really want to go and see her paintings in real at the Vancouver Art Gallery and also on the Island is the house she was born in. The older members of the book club didn't like it that much because some of it was not accurate but since I didn't know her life at all, and had never read her biography, I really liked it. This might be the last book that I will read for a while since the book club didn't meet in December (and then had two months to read it) plus I had a little hospital stay where I got a chance to read. And now that little munchkin is home...it looks like I will NEVER get a chance to read again.
Except now I know, since she is # five, that this is only for a season and I might actually get"something" done again and then once the "something" is done I will get a chance to read a book again. lol.
