Reading Update: Life is busy so I'm trudging along 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there. I'm skipping lunches and trying to get lost in the book I'm currently reading...The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. This book is, hands down, the best piece of writing I have read since The Secret Life of Bees. It's the type of book that you get lost in, one in which the story that's being woven and the combination of words with which it's being done soothes the soul in the most satisfying way. Although I'm upset at the lack of reading time I have right now, I am almost appreciative of it, too, because it's making this wonderful book last and forcing me to appreciate it piece by piece!
