Books and Puppies
I just finished reading a book that has been on my shelf for a while….
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Kingsolver. It was spectacular and it made me miss a few things:
- Kentucky (especially the fact that one of the main characters spent her college career in an apartment on Euclid Ave.)
- Thunderstorms. Big, booming, loud thunderstorms.
- Writing and talking about novels. Not enough to go back and take English classes again, but enough to make me want to keep reading Kingsolver. I have Animal Dreams on my “to read†shelf…it was an assigned reading during grad school, but I don’t remember actually reading it—that seems like a bad sign. I have also heard good things about The Bean Trees, and have my eye out for a cheap used copy. Any Kingsolver or Kingsolver-esque recommendations?

Santana is way too cute.
Also, I miss thunderstorms too.

That picture of Santana with her arm around her friend and her friend in her mouth is by far the cutest thing I have seen in a very long time, if not in all time. I am dying. How can one sweet puppy be SO SWEET AND CUTE.

If you do read The Bean Trees, I highly recommend Pigs in Heaven, as well! Also, Animal Vegetable Miracle was awesome!
Maybe we can come visit you this summer and we can talk about books!
