seeing suns and stars

51f2xhsxahl__aa240_Amazon gave it’s top 100 reviewers advance copies of Khaled Hosseini’s new book A Thousand Spendid Suns and it mostly got five stars. They are saying it’s even better than The Kite Runner. Can it be possible? Looks like we’ll have to buy this one in hard back.

Meanwhile, me and the CaSt are at my parent’s house: going to Curves with my mom, following them both around to doctor appointments, messing up the house with trains and dominos, playing cards with a tablefull of eighty-year-old faces I love, cooking enchalada dinners, buying peaches from a 100-year-old farm down the street, and enjoying the cedar-scented air.

    I also go to Curves! And I’m also going to get “A Thousand Splendid Suns.” Happy reunion with Pepe; any day now!

    “A Thousand Splendid Suns” is five stars better than “Kite Runner.” I just finished it and feel like I came to an end of this really long relationship that I didn’t want to end. It is amazing. One of my top favorite books ever. Let me know what you think when you read it! See you in a few days :)-Meli

    Hi Dina! Glad you’re enjoying your R&R with your family in Paradise. If you happen to run down the hill next week, stop by to see me at Smuckers on Speedway. I love keeping up with you on your blog!

    Yes. I think it’s better than the Kite Runner. Both are good stories, well written as well. But I like the stories and relations among all the characters in A Thousand Splendid Suns much better. It’s a complex and a bit sad story.
    Enjoy!
