Good One, Jo



We bought two copies. The Tiny Dynamo and I read side by side, oohing and ahhing.

We found ourselves caught in a curiously cruel bind. The book was so delicious the pages practically turned themselves. but every page turned was another page closer to the end. I was sad for this.

Last night, we finished together. It was late, and we're both dragging this morning.

I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.

Butler, the internet is safe. You can stand down now.
Good boy! Go outside and play or something...

I kept closing the book to see what percentage of unread book I had left. Once it hit the halfway mark, I was pretty sad. But, they wrapped it up well, and I was glad she refrained from using her author powers to make everything ultra happy in the end. Didn't care for the epilogue, though.

How weird, as I was reading your comments I started to feel sad that you and the tiny dynamo had finished. Guess I was remembering how I've felt much the same with some books.

How funny - I did the same thing avery did, checking every few pages to see how much was left - so sad to see it end.

That cat is getting big. Glad he went outside to play.
