Luckily, one day this past summer, I went to Richards Landing for an art festival. For anyone who doesn't know, Richards Landing is the cutest town in Ontario. It is perfectly suited with an ice cream parlour, a marina, a used book store and little gift shops filled with treasures. It is my version of Stars Hollows. (And I'm Lorelai, not Rory - minus the awful speedy banter).
They had little tables set up selling everything from hand knit mittens, homemade jam, wooden signs, pottery - a storybook setting for a hot summer day. I came across a table of used books. I shuffled through them and shockingly stumbled upon my favourite book. AND it was in mint condition for a mere quarter. A quarter.
I know it was meant to be. I loved this book so much it found its way back to me.
It is called "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb. If you haven't read it yet - you should. And if you're silly enough to ask if you can borrow mine - no, you can't.
Favourite of the Day: Experiencing the most satisfying real-life pee after a horendous pee dream.

I will never think of Richard's Landing the same again. I'll be Rory.
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
This is one of my favorites as well. (Of course.)
Did you know Wally has a new one out? Well, it's not really new. It was published a couple years ago, but it took him like 10 years to write a third piece of fiction. It's called "The Hour I First Believed." I haven't read it yet, but it's on my radar.
PS. Nothing beats a good pee.
I think you lent your book to me.
