What she’s reading:
The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Blank
At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon
“The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing comes highly recommended. I usually like girls-coming-of-age stories in general, as I am still coming of age. The delicious issues of a person teetering on the chasm between childhood and womanhood fascinate me.
At Home in Mitford was one of my late Grandmother's favorite books. She has been gone for nearly two years now and her lack of presence in my life daily saddens me. I am attempting to cope with my grief by reading some of the books that she loved over again, and I haven't read the Mitford series in perhaps ten years.
I've read most of what people consider classic literature (having a literature teacher as both a father and a grandmother will do that to you) so I'm constantly on the hunt for the next big book that will make me really FEEL something. I don't think either of these books are it. They are both very, very good and very well-written, but the last book that left me craving more and living inside the story was Steven King's It, which remains my all-time favorite scary story.
Now that I've said that, I also recall that Neil Gaiman's latest book The Ocean at the End of the Lane sparked something great inside me too.”
