Just Finished:
Checked it out of the library and read in just a few days. I'm not sure why she picked this particular title, since it's a collection of nonfiction essays from her writings, and most of them have don't have to do with marriage. I do love the colors on the cover though, very apropos for fall. This was my first Ann Patchett book, and I'm officially a fan. I'll have to try her fiction next. Although, I do sometimes find that I like authors in one genre and not another (incidentally, this would be a great Top Ten Tuesday topic...Top 10 Authors I like in One Genre But Not Another). My favorite pieces were her introduction about her growth as a writer working for magazines and her piece about writing and how she doesn't believe in writer's block, but I also enjoyed her essays about her dog, the opera, and more. I'll have to make a pilgrimage to her bookstore Parnassus someday. Enjoy!
DNF:
I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't get into it. It was all about May's insecurities in measuring up to Louisa and how other people always seemed to judge her in terms of Louisa and it didn't seem very realistic, or at least, not very interesting to me.

Got it out of the library and started it, but for some reason, I'm not really feeling it right now. I may try to keep going and see if I get more into it, or maybe I'll take a break and come back to this later.
