I love to read, but don't have time to enjoy a book very often right now. (My 2 toddlers + a reading habit aren't very compatible.
)
I did have the opportunity to read a novel last week though. (My in-laws kept the kids overnight while I was having a medical procedure. Being able to indulge in a novel almost made the experience not unpleasant.
) It was Blood Orange by Drusilla Campbell. I picked it up awhile ago, because the back cover intrigued me. (The idea of a missing child is heartbreaking to me - I also follow the Project Jason website and blog.)
Anyhow, the book took a lot of twists and turns, and didn't go quite in the direction I would have anticipated from the blurb on the back cover. However, it was an enjoyable read - I have a few minor complaints about certain parts, but since this isn't a full scale book review I won't go into all that.
Even though the book actually wasn't about what I had expected, it was a good way to indulge myself for the day.
