My mom's new husband and I are going to have some big problems. Huge, I'm telling you. The only way for this relationship to be repaired is for him to cease and desist walking off with my copy of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. I mean, this is completely unacceptable. I need to find out what Juliet says to Sidney next...and learn much, much more about the German occupation of Guernsey. Does he not realize a girl cannot just put such a good book DOWN at will?! Since he is apparently growing quite attached to the story as well, I will have to respectably request that he go to the store and get his own copy.
Or...maybe I'll just download it to my Kindle. Of course I can't dog-ear that in quite the same way. And my scribbles in the margins will be reduced to typed "notes". No. I need to find where he's hiding that book. Post haste.
Dear Reader, I'm a Catholic Convert in love with my faith, working every day to connect my heart and actions. I look forward to meeting you and sharing in the twists and turns of this journey called life!
LOVED that book. Do remedy this situation right away. You need to find out what happens next. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been hiding. In my daughter's room. Under the covers. Reading. When he asks if I've seen the book, I act very distracted and distressed. I started it fiiiiirrrst! ;)
ReplyDeleteLeslie, always fun to bump into a fellow Catholic mother, writer, lifelong learner, spirit seeker, wife, etc. :) That's one of the best components of the blogging world. Nice to meet you! I haven't read that book yet but certainly can understand the feeling of falling in deep with words and not wanting to emerge. Hope you have a great weekend! Roxane @Peace Garden Mama.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love converts. They bring such fresh insight to us cradle Catholic types. Welcome to the Church!
