You Had Me at Dickensian

My current commute-read is Emily Arsenault's "The Broken Teaglass." I'm not smitten with it; it's not the kind of book I run back to the car to continue listening to. But it uses the word "Dickensian." I tend to hold onto and pet books that use the word "Dickensian."

I think the first time I heard the word was in the movie "You've Got Mail," which I dearly love and watch over and over again while sewing. So when I hear it again, I think of the movie and want to enjoy the book as much as I did the movie.

I do not remember how I happened to choose this book, but it will last for about four more commutes, so that's a good thing.

No real book report is coming from me on this.

So I'll ask: What are you reading?
