HAPPY FRIDAY!
Tonight (I'm posting this Thursday night) the closest book to me is The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I just finished this literally 2 minutes ago. Wonderful book! I'll post a review of it tomorrow along with a review of The Mystery of Grace by Charles de Lint, which I finished listening to this afternoon while I was cooking dinner (Polenta: mmmmmmmmmmm).
"One gets so used to one's own horrors, one forgets how they must seem to other people," I wrote at last in the middle column, and in the left I added a note describing the way she closed the finger of her good hand over the closed fist of the damaged one.

I tried to listen to The Thirteenth Tale on audio and just couldn't get into it. The book sounds like a good one so I think I need to actually "read" it!
Here is my 56 this week.

It's hard to say since I read it but I have found the books I love to read - fantasy, sci-fi, thrillers - sometimes are better read and the ones that I would never pick up to read - chick lit - are better in audio.

I'm glad you liked this book. It was one of my favorites last year.

I've never 'read' any audio books before, but I will probably end up starting sooner or later. It might be something I can do while I'm working..lol.
