I just got back from
the library. Dropped off two books (The
Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey
Niffenegger), picked up two more (The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and
Kingdom Keepers II - Disney at Dawn by Ridley Pearson). Obviously, I'm fine in the finding something
to read department.
But...
The printed copy of
Future Letters were delivered yesterday.
I wrote this book. I've read it a
gazillion times - on the computer and printed on paper, know the story by
heart, know what parts will make me laugh and which ones will make me cry. But unlike say, Silver On The Tree by Susan
Cooper (The Dark is Rising Sequence are my go to books when I haven't decided
what to read next, or I finished my book and the library's closed), I know
every back story of Future Letters.
Where in my mind the characters and their histories came from, where
each part of the story was brought to life and why. During my last proof, I told my husband that
that would be the last read, that I couldn't keep reliving the story anymore.
So, why do I have this
urge to read Future Letters? I hold the
books in my hand and I have to stop myself from opening them, plopping down on
the couch with Laura-Glue in my lap and reading them.
I have two other books
to read. Two books I've never read
before. I don't need to read the one
that I wrote.
But the books in that
box are telling me that I do.
So, I guess my
"Currently Reading List" is:
The Thirteenth Tale by
Diane Setterfield
Kingdom Keepers II -
Disney at Dawn by Ridley Pearson
Future Letters by H.R.
