Finished! I was actually caught up in the ending, curious as to the arrival of Diana and Matthew in their time travel excursion to Elizabethan England.
Wondering what to read next. Swann’s Way might prove too pedantic. I’m craving a children’s book such as Charlotte’s Web, or an old favorite such as Possession…off to peruse the house, the shelves, the stacks of books lying in wait.
p.s. I’ve decided on beginning The Detour by Gerbrand Bakker, one of the finalists in the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. The winner will be announced May 20, and I don’t have a prayer of getting the short list read by then. But, perhaps I will finish this one book tonight, and then the likes of Gary from Parrish Lantern, and Tony from Tony’s Reading List, and Stu from Winston’s Dad will be proud of me. 🙂

I did hear the victory woop! Too funny about the 1800 Nook pages (I didn't remember it being THAT long.} I had sworn never to even read a vampre book, but I did like this one. (I think it was the Oxford setting, though the scenes with the aunts were my favorites.) I liked it more than the sequel, for those reasons I think. Lovely haircut!!

Congrats on the read-a-thon. I was really busy this weekend. I read the “Ten White Geese” edition of Detour and was a little disappointed. Hope u like it more.
