Tiffany, Wendy’s right. My book is called Bound on Earth and it’s a novel in stories about a contemporary Mormon family. You can check out what readers have had to say on Amazon or Goodreads or read some of the reviews on my website to find out more about it. Thanks!

It looks like it’s “Bound On Earth.” If you click on her name, it goes to her web-site. I hadn’t heard of it either, so you’re not the only one out of the loop. I think it’s on my to-read list now, though!

I guess I must be out of the loop, but could you please tell me the title of the book Angela published?

I feel like your great-grandma and I are kindred spirits! I would love to see a sample of her poetry and more journal entries. And you seem pretty cool too being related to your great-grandma and a poet in your own right.

Wow, that’s a great offer, thanks. I’m in Orem. I’ll wait to see if the book club gets rolling (they’ve tried before and it hasn’t really “taken”) because I dont’ want to waste your time if there won’t be mcuh of a turnout. We’re planning to read your book in August.

Zina, thank you! And if you’re in Utah, I’m available to attend book clubs if you’d like.

I just loved reading this post. So much food for thought.

I agree with Sharlee that you have done your great-grandmother proud. I’m making my newly-formed ward book group read your book in August, and I also felt clever when I realized your book will make a great hostess gift when we stay with relatives next month.

Mara, I got really sick a few weekends ago, and I had just been to the library, and it was so nice. I really did feel too ill to be useful, but not too sick to read, and I read like five books in one day. Ahh.

Angela, I love your grandma. And I feel embarrassed to admit that I … want to write, too. See, I can’t really even type “that I’m a writer.” It feels not true to me, still. I am like the Velveteen Rabbit–I need something to make me feel Real.

I want to meet this lady on the other side. As far as answering your question…when do I read? Whenever. I read on the toilet, I read while I eat, I read before bed, I read while I’m walking (I have a funny story about this actually), while I’m riding the bus. I’m an opportunity reader…and I find that I get a lot of reading done that way. And I also enjoy getting sick, bed rest, and hospital stays because I can read all I want, guilt free.
