There’s actually only a magazine on my nightstand right now, and I feel adrift. I finished reading The Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale a couple of days ago (more to come on that in a review on Thursday) and I didn’t want to start another one since I’m leaving to visit my mom in Louisiana in just a few days. There’s something about starting a new book on an airplane that’s really exciting for me. So I have to be content now with the time I’m spending reading Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson (see interview at MotherDaugtherBookClub.com) to my daughter, Catherine.
Fortunately, Hattie is proving to be a wonderful book. I love Hattie’s voice and the way the homesteaders in Montana talk. It’s also very interesting to read the other historical bits about World War I and the fear of Germans living in the U.S. woven into the story too. So I have something to look forward to every day even if my nightstand does seem bare.
