A friend's mother recently died (quite young) of a brain aneurysm, and just the suddenness/shock were so awful.

Many times I've not even wanted to keep reading but I guess I kind of wanted to figure out if there was a point to the story. It has such a good premise but I guess it just falls short. Such a shame. It's an easy read though if you need something quick that doesn't require your brain!<br /><br />Thanks so much Samantha :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231494996711068641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-46091134424633519792013-05-15T14:16:34.304-07:002013-05-15T14:16:34.304-07:00The Storyteller is quite different from her other ...The Storyteller is quite different from her other books. I thought the first half dragged a little but part two was amazing and really drew me in. It's quite a heavy read but I liked it.<br />I think that's what I'm hoping this week will do. Having some time away from the story and focusing on everything else in my life before I step back into it :)<br />Ha we love being adventurous! No time like the present!

Ha I don't play very well - two years ago I decided I wanted to learn so I went out and brought a guitar and have been teaching myself ever since :) Would your apartment fit a digital piano better?

I love London, I can't wait to live there and be all British! Tea and cakes anyone?!<br /><br />Yeah, it's been pretty hard. I just don't understand how someone's life can just be taken so suddenly like that. It's awful, but I'm sure his kids will grow up hearing about how amazing their dad was :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231494996711068641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-11046984684077612382013-05-15T13:52:24.189-07:002013-05-15T13:52:24.189-07:00I keep looking at The Future of Us, but never pick...I keep looking at The Future of Us, but never pick it up.

Don't worry, you'll get past this snag in your story. Sometimes stepping back and thinking it over is all it takes. It sounds like you've had a lot going on as well, so maybe the ideas will click into place once things are calmer. Your trip to Africa and then moving to London sounds amazing! You guys are so adventurous!<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear that you lost two people recently. I hope both you and your friends' families will find some comfort in the middle of this tough time.Erin L.

I'll never understand why this type of thing happens.
