Day 134 - Historical fiction
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Linda, the homeschool grandma who helped me teach art at co-op, recommended this book to me. She played it up so much that I, being the history buff that I am, immediately went to the library and reserved it. After I picked it up, the first thought to cross my mind was, "UGH! That's a lot of pages and awfully small print!" In my younger days, book length was inconsequential. These days, however, I find myself just too busy with lesson plans, kids, and life in general! Before returning it unread to the library, I decided to read 'just the first chapter' ... well, I haven't been able to put it down! I ended up having to renew it and I've been reading a little bit every night before bed. If I ever get it finished, I'll let you know how it is. So far, it's fabulous!
