You’ve been reading some great stuff.

My daughter was so excited about setting the table this year that she did it two days before!She wasn’t as excited about clearing the table though…

I did the “Black Fri.” shopping all day, no time for reading!
I read “The Help” and I thought it was the best book I had read in 2009! When you finally do get to finish it, let me know what you thought of it.

I abandoned an audio book this weekend too. I tried “Going Bovine” by Libba Bray, but the narrator really couldn’t pull off the teenage slang at ALL. I listened for about 5 minutes and couldn’t stand it anymore. His ‘WTF’ was laughable.

I used to go out on Black Friday — but I don’t do that anymore. I go into a panic if my mp3 player runs out or juice or otherwise acts up. I have 3 — I believe in backups.

I hate it when my iPod craps out on me. It ruins my day, as pathetic as that sounds. I read The Help on my Kindle, but heard the audio is fabulous, and I can believe it. The characters are larger than life, so I can only imagine! Through Vance’s genius, I lost myself in The Little Stranger. I didn’t want it to end. But I found that as I ruminated on the story, and that ending, that I loved it even more. Give yourself some time to think on it. Sarah Waters seems to have that way about her.
