books I'm reading

- The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski (yes, Oprah is right, it's a great book. You'll never look at dogs the same way again.)
- Golden Grove by Francine Prose (from point of view of girl whose sister dies unexpectedly. Was lighter than I expected given the subject matter)
