The backstory: After loving State of Wonder ( my review ), I set out to read all of Ann Patchett's books. The basics: Run is the story of the Doyle family: Bernard, an Irish Catholic ex-mayor of Boston, his deceased wife Bernadette, their adult son Sullivan, and their two adopted college ages sons, Tip and Teddy, who are biological brothers. My thoughts: I'm beginning to think Ann Patchett is my soul sister. Her writing reaches me deeply, and I've adored everything she's written. It was a special treat to read Run , the novel of hers I knew the least about going in. Although I had the framework of two of her novels and one memoir, I didn't know what to expect. Run isn't as universally loved as some of her other works, so I was particularly curious to see how it measured up. Admittedly, Run started off slowly for me. It took two chapters to really get into the heart of the story, but once it happened, I was hooked. One of the things I love most about
I love it! It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andi!
DeleteI love it! It's easy on the eyes and I love the background image. Colorful but not distracting. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ti! That's exactly what I was going for. I love this image and only switched away from it when I wanted a white background with black text. This new overlay option is perfect!
DeleteLooks great! I'm working on a new design as well and I hope to have it up in January. Sometimes you just need a change.
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog layout, it looks great - but why does it think it is December 1st already?!
ReplyDeleteLooks really cool! Nice job. Very easy on the eyes and it feels happy :) Happened upon a broken link--the link to your review of Bossypants by Tina Fey doesn't work. Other reviews do appear, so it's not a global problem at least :) It probably has nothing to do with new layout, but thought you'd want to know.
