London's Calling!

A few weeks ago, I got an unexpectedly lush check. We had planned a mini-vacation to Quebec because a. it's affordable and b. we love Canada, but when I saw this check, I had a brief flash of how this should go into the bank and then I realized we had not been on a real vacation since Hong Kong, when the boy was 5. "We're going to London," I said, and that was that. We've planned this last minute and are leaving Friday and not back until July, so it'll be quiet here on my blog.

In the meantime, some reading material! I'm honored that I am the Book Brahmin in the latest Shelf Awareness!
