Book Hangover

A few months ago, I made this ecard and it kinda went viral.



I've felt that way once or twice since, but never as hard as I have since I finished a book I'd seen rec'd here and there on Goodreads.

It's called On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves.

I laughed, I cried. I started it at lunch today and literally did very little for the rest of the blessedly quiet day at work but read it. I haven't done *that* since I left Data Entry Hell.

I quite literally couldn't stop unless something came up that I had to handle.

Even now, I'm itching to open it back up and go back and reread sections, pages, the whole bloody thing. Review will be going up soon on the book blog - as soon as I can put coherent words together - but I wanted to mention it here, too.

It is a beautiful story and well worth reading.

I have definitely felt that way at times. Sometimes I'll linger with the book for at least a day after finishing. And then struggle to get through the next book.

I bought this book and another that I'd been panting for (released on the 3rd) at the same time. I thought I'd check out On the Island and if it was a meh, I'd shelve it.

Now I'm having trouble opening the book I was dying for.
