I just put it on hold at the library. I've wanted to read him for a while -- he has a huge range. A Monster Calling is supposed to be fantastic.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sharp Objects is the Gillian Flynn book I haven't read yet.
And it is the only Gillian Flynn book I've read!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
So, I haven't read a real book in what seems like forever. About halfway through my pregnancy I stopped being able to concentrate enough to read a novel, and I've barely had time since ltc was born. However, this week I decided I needed to fix that. So, I started with The Grownup by Gillian Flynn, which is really just a short story published in book form, but I finished it in one sitting with ltc making noises beside me in the activity seat, and now I'm reading The Drop by Dennis Lehane, which is also super short at just over 200 pages. Which is making me miss the Kenzie and Gennaro books all over again. So, my question is does anyone have any recommendation of short works of fiction that is fairly light reading?
