My life hasn’t been my own for the past week or so. I have been totally enslaved to the book I was reading. It dominated my life. I thought about it while I was sleeping and awake. I read it every chance I got. It haunted me, and it haunts me now that I’ve completed it. Crazy how a book can have such power to affect. If you are in search of a good book to tackle, I might recommend “The Way the Crow Flies” by Ann-Marie Macdonald. I realize it’s not even a new release, but boy is it worth it. I have now put her up there in my mind as one of my favourite authors. I feel that if my words were to be set beside hers they would be bumbling all over the page and crashing into each other like a slap-stick comedy routine, and hers would just elegantly stand by, with a cigarette dangling from her perfectly-manicured slender fingers, as she gently tsk-tsked my attempt. Silly Jodi, tricks are for kids. At any rate. Read the book if you can. Then tell me so I can talk to someone about it.

Ann -Marie is pretty darn amazing. I've only read, "Fall On Your "Knees" but I had the same experience.
Ann Marie is my favourite author, I can't get enough of her raw and vulnerable characters. I have read both her books. It has been a while so you will have to refresh my memory. I was glad to hear it was not a parenting book that was hauting your thoughts! Glad you are finding time to read.
