This past week I've been busy with all sorts of school stuff. And then yesterday I decided I should clean my neglected, messy house. That has translated into not a lot of reading time. I've also been picking up a lot of nonfiction and enjoying that a great deal.
I did enjoy Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle yesterday. This one was fast and I only regret that I was interrupted so many times while reading it.
Daphne receives a slip of paper as each relationship starts, stating the name of the guy she will be dating and the length of time the relationship will last. Obviously, there's a bit of magical realism in this book, but if you can get by this bit of the story, you can see how Daphne's relationships begin - and eventually fail.
Until she meets Jake. And the slip of paper states his name, but no ending date.
There is a plot twist I didn't see coming, so I encourage readers to go into this one without reading any form of a summary. I will say that suddenly Daphne's relationships make more sense, and the ending does seem a bit inevitable.
A little bit serious as well as a little bit fun, this was a great book to spend an afternoon on.

Re: your cleaning comment. I really need to rid my house of hospital stuff. After the surgeries I had no energy and then when I started to feel better who wants to clean the house? But I have stuff everywhere and it's a constant reminder of illness. It has to go.
Reading is getting better for me. I spent most of yesterday on the couch answering work emails and reading my book in between.
