Vacations, and the random moment of peace and quiet deserve an excellent book. I devoured Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" on Sunday.....it was heartbreakingly poigent, her tale of surviving the death of her husband breaks your heart a little bit with each page. She is such a beautiful writer, and she nagivates the path of grief in such a way that you gain an understanding, an appreciation, and respect for every moment you get to enjoy life, and the people in it, as you know it. Prepare to cry, but it is an absolute "must-read". Signed, ME {LV}
ps....the review on the back of the book that encouraged me to buy it was "I can't think of a book we need more than hers....I can't imagine dying without this book." (from The New York Review of Books). With a review like that--how could I NOT buy it??
Shopaholic does it again.....
So I picked up a new book today, and I can't wait to read it! Sophie Kinsella the author of the Shopaholic series, came out with another Shopaholic book: Shopaholic and Baby, I have been addicted to all her books since I discovered the orignal shophalic and instantly feel in love with Rebecca Bloomwood, I have been waiting for the next episode in her life, and it just came out Feb. 27th.....I can't wait to start reading tonight!
