currently reading

Oh my, this is such a good book! I started reading The Forgotten Garden before Christmas, and honestly, it took me a while to get into it. I wouldn't pick it up all that often. (A lot of that probably had to do with it being Christmas time and things were just busy.) Once I was into the meat of the story, it was hard to put down! It is not the easiest read: there are lots of characters, and it jumps around from past to present time.

It is worth the extra reading "muscle" it takes though! A very mysterious story about long lost relatives, travels overseas, gardens (of course) art, secrets and storytelling. I am about 20 pages from being finished. I'm trying to savor the last little bit as the book comes to a resolution. Wondering what I should read next...

We just decided on Crazy Love at book club this morning (& we missed you!) so maybe that question has been answered!
