on the ottoman

when I am in need of a good read. I consult a red-haired beauty. she is a wealth of knowledge. a talented graphic designer. a delightful literary critic.

I've been in a slump finding good books lately. before the Tour I had many on my reserve list. and no time to read. and now. PT (Post Tour). as they trickle back in. none spark my interest.

I happened on this book. on some reading list. somewhere. and it looked intriguing. so. when it popped up. ready to check out. I was excited. but. not nearly as excited as when my co-worked said she had just finished it. enjoying it immensely.

I am drawn to YA books. they can be frivolous. deep. romantic. innocent. cataclysmic. apocalyptic. but. somehow. I thoroughly enjoy them all.

Ms. Apple was no exception. thank you very much.
