...And Across The Internet, A Plaintive Cry Rolls.

I want to read books for pleasure again!

On of my professor's required that we visit a bookstore this weekend, which was both fun and made me crave pleasure-reading. (Which is so not happening right now because any time I'm not reading textbooks I'm researching for my Europe trip).

Also, I bumped into the book A Northern Light, which I remember reading and loving. Even more than Maddie herself (the protagonist), what I recall most is here poetry-publishing, cigerette-smoking suffragette teacher and her black best friend. I didn't care about it being early 1900s - I wanted him (I can't remember his name) and Maddie to wind up together. They would have vocabulary duels, people. That is how adorable and OTP they were.
