Michael Cunningham: A Home at the End of the World
Loved this. Simply a beautiful story, authentic characters, those people you miss when a book is done. (*****)
Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go (Vintage International)
I couldn't put this down, but I was more absorbed in the plot than the writing, if that makes sense. It felt detatched, and I know it was supposed to, but I felt like I stopped short of feeling as much for it as I'd like to. Still, it was engrossing and a beautiful story. (****)
Michael Cunningham: Specimen Days
Wow wow wow. I've had this one on my shelf for a while, because while I enjoyed The Hours I didn't *love* it madly, and because it was one of those books with a discription that, while intriguing, was hard to match with a reading mood. As described by The Guardian as "By far the best gothic historical sci-fi cop thriller you'll ever read," it just didn't fit neatly into one of my "I'm in the mood for ____" categories. But I finally picked it up. And devoured it. And am still digesting it. Amazing, amazing, amazing. (*****)

This month's kit is fantastic. Can't stop playing with it:
And then, the fabulous Jason Gaylor designed a set of brushes exclusively for Scrapologie to go with the Sept kit. So cool! Love his stuff.
I'm off for a busy weekend...my best friend is in town, C's party is Sunday...so I might not see you til Monday. With party pics, of course. Happy weekend, everyone!

Your layouts are awesome. So much design with simple pages. I'm always hoping that my pages turn out like these. I'll probably have to keep referring back to this post. Congratulations on a job well done!
