How Is Your Novel Going?

Give the name of your book (and the author if you remember). Italicize the title.

Talk a little bit about what is going on in the novel. Would you recommend it?

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

This old writer is dying. She is a recluse and refuses to tell reporters anything truthful about her life. (So far she has a running total of no less than 19 birth stories--all conflicting.) She employs the owner (another observer rather than participator in life) of a book store to stay with her in her house in the English countryside where she begins the tale of her life.

I would absolutely recommend it. It is riveting. I know I am not doing it justice with this little blurb here, but in all honesty, I hate going to sleep because I want to read it all night!

Okay. All of your comments (except for wozlow's) are scaring me. You do not have that much work! Just a Midterm, journals, FfA and the essay I am going to be giving out! =)

BleedingMascara said...

Stop your inconsideration to the teacher, you bums! ^-^

Oh, Geist...you know I shall hand mine in and hopefully get an amazing grade on it *smiles innocently*

But seriously...our whole class complains too much about how we "have a lot of work". Complaining will not help you get it done, now will it?

I cringe every time someone starts something up with Geist about our homework.
