Show us the book you're reading right now.

My mom recommended this author to me. Miss Read is the pen name of Dora Jessie Saint, a novelist and retired schoolmistress. The two series she is most known for are set in the English villages of Fairacre and Thrush Green (both, as far as I know, entirely fictional).
The Fairacre series is written in first person, and is about Miss Read coming to be the schoolmistress at the Fairacre village school. As usual, the small village is full of interesting characters and seethes with the undercurrents and intrigues that small towns always seem to have. All very innocuous and sweet, of course.
This book is the last one in the Fairacre series. I am working through all the books my mom owns, then I'll fill in the missing ones from the library.
My mom adores this author. I am enjoying the books, too, but I am surprised that mom likes them so much because of all the marital shenanigans that go on. But she gets sniffy over books where the characters imbibe alcoholic beverages. And I don't even mean getting roaring drunk...just having a couple drinkies.
But you know how moms are. They have their hobby horses, same as the rest of us, I guess.
In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian.
A couple more.
For serious:
In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian.
Share a song you listened to in 6th grade.
Show us what you'd most like to see delivered by UPS today.
One of these:
Heh!
Sheesh. You wouldn't think a google search for hunky UPS guys would come up with so many pictures of skanky women...
Anyways, I found this, too:
Show us your gorgeous eyes.

Except that they're actually a little more blue than this.
This is today, with glasses:
Show us your favorite pair of shoes.
These aren't my "favorite" shoes. Shoes aren't something I have strong feelings about. But they illustrate an anecdote I have to share.
I am tall. I am 5 feet 9 inches.
Suddenly, however, I am dwarfed by several women who are new employees in our office. Dwarfed!
The other day I was standing up in my cube and I watched over the top of the cube wall as one of these amazons walked by. I thought "she's not so tall, we're almost at eye level."
Then I looked down at my shoes, these shoes, and reminded myself that I was wearing three-inch platforms.
So she really is tall. And gorgeous, to boot.
Show us a beverage you absolutely can't stand the taste of.
There are two:
First, root beer, mostly because I loathe the taste of black licorice.
And a close second is Dr. Pepper, because it has overtones of root beer.
Show us your favorite flower.
I don't really have a single favorite. I like a lot of flowers. But lilies have a sentimental connotation for me, because a childhood nickname given to me by some friends was "Emilily."
