Happy Friday.

Today I have to share a wonderful book with you;

A Sudden Light by

Garth Stein.

I was eagerly awaiting this book and had pre-ordered it

months ago.

When it finally arrived, it naturally went right to the top of the

to-be-read pile.  I had read Stein’s previous book The Art of

Racing in the Rain and loved it.  (I waited in a long line to

get my book signed by the author and when I got to the front,

I took one look at the author, burst into tears and blubbed

“I loved Enzo!”) (Another crazy book lady, he must have thought).

A Sudden Light is a totally different story than that of Enzo.

I didn’t really know what to expect but I wasn’t disappointed.

The new book is a ghost story, a coming of age story and a

family saga all wrapped up in the setting of the beautiful Pacific

Northwest.  I find that I am still thinking about it and wouldn’t

mind if there were a sequel.  I don’t want to give anything

away but do want to encourage you to read this book.

You won’t be disappointed.

Have a great weekend,

Dot
