Be My Maybe?
May. 3rd, 2022 09:52 pmSo I haven't been to my book club in three months.
In that time, they've read two murder mysteries (hate 'em under normal circumstances and further, as I explained to our moderator, given present circumstances, I need something "life affirming" and, for whatever reason, this genre just doesn't do it for me), followed by a novel about the DISAPPEARANCE of a murder mystery writer (nice try, I guess, but still no cee-gar), and finally, Braiding Sweetgrass, by a local tribal mother and academician (bought the book, tried reading it, just wasn't feeling it).
Then, as I was leaving the house today to pick up my grandson who was coming over to help with some landscaping--which came close to ending us both, me because I'll be 78 in two months, maybe, and him because he'd just come from school where he'd done three makeup periods of phys ed soccer--I noticed an Amazon box on my front walk.
Turns out it was Ronnie Spector's memoir, Be My Baby (1990, 2022), which I'd pre-ordered several months ago and had since forgotten about.
Guess I'm hoping that, just maybe, she's gonna rescue me from my three months book drought and subsequent pain-shopping binge on Reddit's infidelity subs.
So Ronnie, will you be my, be my maybe?
