I haven’t read a book in a day in a long time. But it was rainy, I had finished enough school work to feel satisfied, and I just needed to esacpe for awhile. So I picked up Ben Sherwood’s book The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. I just bought this book at the Fountain Bookstore in Richmond. And this was the perfect book for such an escape…not to mention the fact that three of my favorite writers–Sue Monk Kidd, Adriana Trigiani, and Joanne Harris–are all mentioned on the front covers. So I lost myself in the lives of these ordinary people in Marblehead, Massachusetts, to whom extraordinary things happen. And felt better!
