Love going to the bookstore. I'm currently reading The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and am enjoying it so far. Recently read The Other Boleyn Girl, which I really liked and I need to pick up the 4th book in the Outlander series. Let me know what you get. Have a great night!

Hi Meghan!
ReplyDeleteI just read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It's one of those studies in human behavior in times of great distress kind of stories. Although there was very minimal dialogue and only a minor illumination into the characters and the cause of their current situation, I thought these subtleties beautifully captured the intended tone all the more. It is a dark and rather sad story, but also a hopeful and touching one.
