What are you currently reading? The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter. This is a–gasp–nonfiction book by the author of the Bible study that the women in my Sunday school group are doing, Ruth: Loss, Love & Legacy. It’s a good study. Perhaps the book will be good too. (I’ve firmly decided to read it, though I haven’t begun yet. This counts as ‘currently reading.’)
What did you recently finish reading? The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente. I finished it last night, and it was one of the most enjoyable sequels I’ve ever read.
What do you think you’ll read next? A friend gave me her extra copy of Tess of the d’Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy. I’ve never read anything by Thomas Hardy, but if he’s an author whose books are worth owning two copies of the same title, I will certainly consider it. Also remaining are two of last week‘s three library books I haven’t gotten to yet. Come to think of it, they might be due soon.
An aside: It is evident that I work in a law office, because I distinctly remember dreaming the sentence, “The foregoing facts are herein incorporated by reference in haec verba,” which is something you write in a legal document, because if you tried to write it anywhere else, you would get pelted with tomatoes.
