What was I thinking? I should have taken the Christmas tree down, first.
But the tree is still up, and the novel is done.
The words will not let me go.I had to finish it, I just had to. I knew I would never write again until it was done. I was not sure I would even sleep, but I did, somehow.
I even caught myself praying for my new friends, I mean, the characters of the book. Then I reminded
myself they were not real, and backed out of God's throne room with a red face. (Don't you hate when that happens?)
And I picked up the book again.
I will never write a book this amazing, I thought, but I didn't waste any time in self-pity. The story was just too good. I let it consume me, and I delighted in the art, in the words.
And still, the words will not let me go.
Read about this amazing book here.

Wow, does this book sound amazing! I have a Barnes and Noble giftcard burning a hole in my purse no longer. Thanks for the recommendation. By the way, I love your comment of "the words would not let me go." I know just what you mean. I love a book that is THAT good.

I read this post earlier in the week and made a mental note to come back and comment. I read this book well over a year ago and am STILL thinking about it, especially the final pages. I have no other words other than your "amazing". It's one you just can't possibly explain unless you've read it yourself.
ReplyDeleteI love this book a lot. It is one of my favourites. Stopping by from Cozy Book Hop!
ReplyDeleteLove how books can pull you out of reality - of course that isn't always a good thing... I hear you about reading before getting chores done. Thanks for linking up again with Cozy Book Hop!
