Everyone has a happy place, the scene that comes into view when you close your eyes and let your mind transport you to the dot on the globe where life is cozy, safe, warm. For me, that place is th bookstore, with its emerald green walls and the big picture windows that, as night, frame he stars twinkling above. The embers in the fireplace burn the color of a setting orange sun, and I'm wrapped in a quilt, seated in a big wing back chair reading a book. "June?" I open my eyes quickly, and the stark white walls beyond my hospital bed reset my frame of mind to reality. The thin sheet draped over my body is stiff and scratchy, bleached one too many times, and I shiver as a nurse places her icy hands on my wrist.
Goodnight June by Sarah Jio

I've been saying for a year now I want to try something by Sarah Jio. This one sounds like it will be good!
Sounds good!
Mine this week is a drama about a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder (and there may be a bit of romance in there too...)

I really want to read this, and had forgotten to look for it when I was buying books this month. Will have to get it soon; it sounds like something I would enjoy and I like the author's previous works.
That blurb sounds so melancholy...
LOVE the transition from the cozy bookstore to the hospital room. Great description of both.
My Tuesday post features THE MOST UNSUITABLE WIFE.

This sounds really good. I've been dying to read this author for a long time.
I'll read anything Jio writes!
I like her work anyway, but this is a great opener. Now I have to find my copy.
Awesome and intriguing. I have to know what put her in the hospital.
What a clip from the book! Definitely has me wanting more from the book. I've been hearing lots of praise for Goodnight June and I hope you enjoy it, too.
