| One thing I really liked about this book was the natural development of the relationship. I dislike romances in which the characters have physical chemistry and wind up making out or sleeping together before knowing if they actually like each other. ...more | |

| Pairing this with Epstein's bio gives a full picture of Sister Aimee's full life. What a complicated woman. What Hoffman does well here, as an entertainment journalist, is help me see how ahead of her time Sister Aimee was in so many ways. She would ...more | |

“In this sense, Rachel envied fictional characters. For them, everything would eventually make sense. If she were fictional, all the random, ridiculous events of her life would mold into a recognizable shape, building toward something. She would recognize signs, portents, and foreshadowing. In real life, however, no such clues were forthcoming.”

I'll be interested for your input on the post I've written for the blog. It's going up tomorrow and focuses on the money side of how you can afford to read a lot.
Sooo.... I found a benefit to being homebound with illness for ALL of 2015. (drumroll) My goal is to read 365 books, and hit 100,000 pages! lol... I discovered in August that I was about 5 books behind the numerical day of the year, so I've been working toward that goal. This month, I realized I was at 79,000 pages, so that's my secondary goal. Having a blast! Of course, I would be fine with a miraculous recovery, too... but while I'm down, I might as well stretch my horizons, right?!
