The problem is I ordered the book online and was waiting for it to come. I wanted to read something while I was waiting since I was on a reading kick, so I started reading Black Hills Blessing (Romancing America)
I put finishing that book on hold and started Castaway Kid. The first chapter made me so sad. I sort of put my kids in his place and my heart just breaks. Then my mind starts to go down a morbid road. It didn't make me want to continue.
Then I should've had more time to read since my husband's been gone for a few days, but instead of being a productive citizen and educating myself through reading, I've been a slave to watching the Gilmore Girls. I'm completely addicted. Instead of going to bed a little early, so I can read a little before falling asleep. I just watch one more epidose. They really ought to put that series in a book. I'd read it.
I really have apprecieated the few chapters I have read, and I will finish Castaway Kid by the end of the month! That's is why we have a book club, so that I read and finish books! I'll probably be praying for the little guy in the book once I read a few more chapters because that's how involved I get in the books (and TV series) I really like. Sort of pathetic and strange, isn't it?
After I read Castaway Kid I posted about it on our blog. The next day I had a comment from the Castaway Kid himself. His son is battling cancer and was in a hospital. As he sat in the hospital late at night with his son, he googled his book and came across my blog. We emailed several times. He's a very nice guy. Anyway...pretty cool.
