sorry I've been elsewhere...

...though actually, it's not that I haven't been blogging, it's that I haven't been blogging here. I've been blogging on my new blog, instead, which is easier because reading a chapter of a Betty Neels romance and blogging about it takes only 15 minutes or so. My sister was visiting me until last night; while she was here, I didn't read much aside from a book about Vietnam nurses and the aforementioned Betts chapters. The book (Elizabeth Norman's Women at War: the Story of Fifty Military Nurses who Served in Vietnam) about Vietnam nurses is really interesting - I hadn't read much nonfiction about them before. It's less like a monograph than some others I have around the house, which probably explains why I've read this one and not the others. Some of the ancedotes in the book seemed familiar, I'm not sure whether I read them in a newspaper article or review, or in fiction that was based on true stories.
I go back to work tomorrow, after a week away. Thank heavens that I have another vacation coming up at the end of September!
