I’ve joined the Readers’ Workouts. I’ve been semi-successful this week.
Want to see what my mom made me? It’s the best bookish present ever.
This week was the slowest I’ve had in a long while. I’m mourning, along with the rest of the world, for the victims of the shooting that took place in Newtown, Connecticut. I can’t wrap my mind around what happened. Senseless and evil. I hope they find a way to heal. My heart hurts for everyone involved.
All The Lonely People sounds interesting.

I've only ever read one Sebastian Faulks book before – Charlotte Grey, and my copy has since gone missing! I'll keep your high recommendation of Birdsong in mind. :)Love the Jane Austen clock, very cool!

I'm a bit disconnected from the news and I've only been hearing the mass murder from the internet and twitter. I can't handle too much of that kind of thing and there has been a lot of it. Thank you for your lovely comments . Your blog was the only one I couldn't access from the mr. linky thing…hmmm. Anyway your mothers gift is awesome and I hope you have a great reading week!

All the Lonely People sounds like a really interesting read, especially around the holidays when we spend so much time with our families. I am very close to my family, but I think family has less to do with being related and more to do with who we truly let into our lives.

I'm definitely struggling too. Between preparing for the holidays and my thoughts continuing to cycle back to Sandy Hook, reading has become relatively unimportant. SO tragic.
