Reading Wednesday
I took the morning off to take delivery of some furniture I ordered back in November. As annoying as it is that it took this long, I'm super jazzed to finally have enough dining room chairs to host more th an four people.
Just Finished
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - I picked this up at the library used book sale and did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It's a fairly sad story about a family's struggle to recover following the murder of their oldest daughter and, while that's not normally the type of thing I read, I couldn't put it down. I think it was the narration. Having the story be told by the daughter's omniscient ghost made it just surreal enough to be haunting instead of just depressing. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to keep it. Will I read it again? Will it bring me joy?
