here we are at the end of august and i have no idea where this month went. crikey. the first of these books i read in oxford, the second back here in atlanta. i tie books very much into the location where i read them, and thinking about the hand that first held mine takes me right back to the office in oriel college and to christ church meadow, the two places where i read most of this book. bossypants takes me to...my bed. less exciting.
here is august:
the hand that first held mine, by maggie o'farrell (another book borrowed from a friend in oxford. halfway through this book i was like, "seriously?! i knew from the very beginning that this was going to be the 'twist.' sheesh, book. you are stereotypical." 15 pages later i was like, "ohmygod i did not see THAT coming!" turns out the "twist" wasn't the twist at all. it got out-twisted. so then i liked the book again. a good, light-ish read!)
bossypants, by tina fey (LOVED this book - tina fey's autobiography. equal parts hilarious and inspirational, and i didn't see the inspiration coming when i picked the book up. i waited through a reserve list at my library with 132 - literally - people on it before me in order to read this book (for free). totally worth it. reading this book makes me like tina fey even more.)
