It's Monday!
>> January 30, 2012
Mix in running, errands, and a few other commitments... we had another busy weekend.
My spine and neck are so tight that my head hurts (can't explain why), I hope a good yoga class will loosen my up a bit!
Let's talk books!
What I'm reading (hosted by Book Journey): I finished reading The Replacement Wife Sunday morning. I can't wait to talk about this book... but we will have to wait until late March. I have a lot to say about this one!
Synopsis: Gavin Sasaki is a promising young journalist in New York City, until he’s fired in disgrace following a series of unforgivable lapses in his work. It’s early 2009, and the world has gone dark very quickly; the economic collapse has turned an era that magazine headlines once heralded as the second gilded age into something that more closely resembles the Great Depression. The last thing Gavin wants to do is return to his hometown of Sebastian, Florida, but he’s drifting toward bankruptcy and is in no position to refuse when he’s offered a job by his sister, Eilo, a real estate broker who deals in foreclosed homes.
Eilo recently paid a visit to a home that had a ten-year-old child in it, a child who looks very much like Gavin and who has the same last name as Gavin’s high school girlfriend Anna, whom Gavin last saw a decade ago. Gavin—a former jazz musician, a reluctant broker of foreclosed properties, obsessed with film noir and private detectives—begins his own private investigation in an effort to track down Anna and their apparent daughter who have been on the run all these years from a drug dealer from whom Anna stole $121,000.
Do you have any exciting plans this week? I am expecting a busy work week. We are in the middle of a re-organization... and wait for it.... we are hosting a bon voyage party Friday night. The theme is Brazilian/South American. Do you have any ideas for me?
