so i started reading a new book...The Secret Life of Bees...I've been reading a series of books by Jennifer Chiaverini on a quilter's town since last Spring, I'm up to book 5, the Quilter's Legacy..It's a great series, but i'm used to the characters and the places..and I look forward to it like an ongoing story..Anyway, Elise has the next book and I couldn't hold out so I went out and got something different, a book that's been on my reading list for quite some time. I'm enthralled..I haven't read such a great book since I read The Poisonwood Bible. The story moves...I look forward to curling up for a while every night learning the depths of the two main characters and joining in their adventures. It's like a little piece of heaven, a way to leave my world if only for a little while, to someplace different..to imagine new sights and meet new people..Such a great book!
