edit data

Penelope Wright spent a quarter of her life on the east coast and the rest in Washington state. She worked her way through college in restaurants, hospitals, factories, and everything in between, finally graduating summa cum laude from the University of Washington after an absurdly long time. She loves both traditions and new experiences, and will try anything once, except skydiving, which is a hard no. She lives north of Seattle with her husband and two amazing teenagers.

Penelope Wright added a status update: I've been reading this book forever. I can only do 10-15 pages a day, it's DENSE. Not enjoying it the way I enjoyed the first 4, but I'll get through it, but it will probably take me another month, so I'm way behind my reading goals.
