I can't remember the last time I read a book in one day

quietselkie recommended Major Pettigrew's Last Stand to me several days ago, and I picked it up at the library last week. I finally started it this morning around nine. I put it down several times over the course of the day -- dinner to make, cake to eat, cat to pamper, that sort of thing -- but I couldn't put it down for long. Selkie's right; it's a sweet, gentle story that I really liked. I sighed and smiled an hour ago after finishing it and set it down next to Mom while I went into the kitchen to peel potatoes. Now the potatoes are on, I'm in the bedroom, and she's on the sofa with the book. I hear chuckles every few minutes. Victory!
