This book is good. I recommend it to anyone wanting a quick, witty, satisfying read.
The book contains only letters from the characters. I enjoyed it. I admit I rarely write letters anymore. Usually I send out an email. Letters are nice. I think I may write a few now.***
Miles drew this:
It's a boy who is hot because the sun is shining on him. Oh, and his parents are making him mow the lawn. Yes, we are mean. We often make our 3 yr old mow the lawn! I don't know where he gets this stuff.Later, after a lot of play, he proved you can sleep with your eyes open.
***Here is a yard sale treasure I found this past weekend:
The glass is broken in the bottom right corner. I am tempted not to replace the glass. Somehow it gives it more charm broken....If that is possible? But, a solid piece of glass would keep the dust out.
Isn't it lovely? I haven't found a special place for it just yet. I really do love it.Recommend a book. Please don't recommend Twilight. I would rather poke my eyes out than read that book! Okay, maybe not really poke my eyes out. I do like seeing. But seriously, recommend a good book. Thanks.

Have you read And All Our Wounds Forgiven by Julius Lester? It's very good. Different chapters are from the points of view of 4 different people who were close during the Civil Rights Movement, but it's now decades later.
I have a friend who recommends great reads. She told me I should read a series called something about a Pink Carnation Society. I have not read any though, so this is secondhand!
Hey! I just commented on The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society on our friend's website -- ha! Glad you liked the book, too. :)
I am dabbling in two books right now. Both were provided to me free & I feel obliged to share the word as I am enjoying them!
First is nonfiction. The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation: Stories of My Family’s Journey to Freedom
By John F. Baker Jr.
Second book was courtesy of a program called The Big Read by National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is Sun, Stone, and Shadows: 20 Great Mexican Short Stories. One day I want to go visit Mexico! This book is giving me a great sample of the flavor of the country. And I don't have to read it in Spanish. All of the short stories are translated into English, which makes it much more likely I will be able to finish the whole book (instead of abandon it perpetually to my nightstand like a couple of books I have there in Spanish -- tee hee)!
