The ceiling of the fabulous Ben McNally Books in Toronto, the scene last night of a 45 Books in 45 Minutes book talk. So many titles added to my TBR list!

So I posted this photo about a week ago when I was happily reading while waiting for my car to be serviced. And I'm still pretty much on the same page I was then. I usually read a lot. Every day. A lot every day. But I have been so flippin' busy that this book, which I'm enjoying, has been sadly neglected. The good news is, I have a life! The bad news is, all I want to do is read! Anyone else out there in the same boat this season? Talk to me!

My "to be read" list is already a mile long, and now the books in Saturday's reviews are calling my name. Gonna need to hunker down this fall/winter and get to it! Can't wait! ?

First off, I want to point out that I have the perfect sheets for this book (though none of the swans would be caught dead taking a common cab!) Then I would like to say that this book sent me to "the Google" dozens of times, finding photos of the swans as they were in real life, looking at photos of a young Truman Capote, and reading more about the big personalities in this book.

The Secret History | Donna Tartt
Pickpick

I read The Goldfinch before I read this one. Donna Tartt's voice shines through in both of them.

This book is finally here! I'm reading it in tiny chunks because I want to make it last a good long time.
