currently reading:

since i am out of the woods as far as writing hundreds of pages for my own story, i have taken to reading others' novels. it's the best excuse to get to read: "um, ya i'm researching." and the funny thing is, i am. now that i call myself a writer...simply because i write more than i do anything else....i read books through a different pair of glasses than when i was younger and just looking for a way out of my current situation: whether that be waiting at the doctor's office, feeling like i'm frying on the beach but have.to.get.tan., or distracting myself while the plane is bouncing in the air at 30,000 feet above the hard earth.

now i look at how they tell it, what they say, how much they reveal, how much they hold back. so, i am going to start a type of blog post called "currently reading". i know, i know, it's not ingenious. but that's not the point. i want to force myself to read books and tell you what i have noticed. of course, i will never spill the beans or tell you anything about the book. i want you to read them and maybe see if you notice it too?

so, my first one is GONE GIRL by GILLIAN FLYNN. i'm 60% through it, and i can already say this: girl can write. i find myself over and over wondering how she can keep twisting it...i feel like at 60%, i would already be satisfied if it were wrapping up. but no, i have 40% left. intrigued is an understatement....and if you read it, you'll see why :)

so your summer reading starts now: GONE GIRL by GILLIAN FLYNN.

here's to those who have given up their lives, or even a season of their lives, or their bodies to keeping this country safe. thank you!
