Melanie
Melanie is on page 54 of 275 of Death of a Wandering Wolf (A Hungarian Tea House Mystery #2)
I just started to read this sequel to Death in a Budapest Butterfly and I'm loving it! I love the characters, the Hungarian flavor (both descriptions of food and folklore), and the characters. I'm so glad that I received and ARC from NetGalley!

Melanie is on page 70 of 352 of Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle
Every time I pick up this book, I read something that utterly blows my mind - something I never would have thought of. For example, when Palestinian embroiderers were displaced after 1948, their individual area/tribal embroidery designs began to be lost -- but since then, they have begun to create new patterns that represent Palestinians as one people, not many disparate groups. Just typing this brings me to tears .

Melanie is on page 180 of 256 of The Stowaway: A Young Man's Extraordinary Adventure to Antarctica
The only reason I stopped reading yesterday is that the typeface is a bit small -- otherwise, I would have read straight through to the end. I'm loving this book. It's such a good story, it's so well-researched, and the writing is so, so vivid.

The most disturbing sentence so far:

"His extreme self-satisfaction rubbed off."

Melanie is on page 663 of 1424 of The Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume 1: 1940-1956 – The Comprehensive Collection of an Influential Poet's Intimate Correspondence
What does one do when it's grey November and one has a Really Bad Cold? Read through Sylvia Plath's letters with far more thoroughness than usual, since there's time, and since she is an endlessly fascinating companion (whose colds and sinus issues mirror one's own). I probably should not say "endlessly" fascinating, since, alas, we know how her life ended, but for now - it's good.

Finally started to read this (for real) - what a wonderful story, what real characters, and what good writing! Rachel Herron never disappoints.
