I haven't been able to get much done in the crafty department this week, although I've made a lot of progress. I did read a lot of books though! I'll share one of them with you.
One Day
by David Nicholls is currently a bestseller. It's the story of Dexter and Emma, two people with a strong attraction to each other who end up going different directions with their lives, although their paths keep intersecting over the course of 20 years.. The chapters are each a snapshot of the same day of the year, July 15, the anniversary of when they first got to know each other.The characters are strong and believable and the writing is witty. I couldn't put it down. If you remember how different you were as a person at age 20, age 30 and age 40, you'll appreciate the subtle changes the characters go through over time.
