I'm reading one of my favorite books
with my younger kids and as we read the delicious description of the wonderfully horrible Trunchbull last night, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I was genuinely enjoying reading to my kids but I had been looking forward to bedtime all night so I could sneak away and read MY new book
. I realized I had discovered a main bookworm mom problem - keep reading to the kids or read for myself. What a good problem to have! In the end I read until the kids' really had to get to bed then sequestered myself in the bathroom so no one would bother me and read until I had to get to bed. It was a good night.
(Oh, and Career of Evil is excellent. I'm about a quarter of the way finished and normally by now I've got a pretty good handle on the bad guy in books like this, but not this time. Rowling has given four possibilities and right now each is as likely as the next. I love it when I can't figure the whole mystery right out of the box!)
