One of my favorite things about summer is being able to read again. Of course I read during the school year,
but I move at such a slow pace it really is embarrassing. My book club decided to read the new David Sedaris book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, which is a perfect way to kick off my summer reading.
It turns out that my book group is needing to meet this week in order to have everybody attend. That means that I’ve been having to read at warp speed to finish on time. In my rush to finish, I have been leaving my glossy new book carelessly around the house. I came home yesterday to discover that my gorgeous, new book was no longer gorgeous or new looking. I was slightly heartbroken because I secretly love the look and smell of new books.
It didn’t take much to figure out what happened to my book.
