I can see it is going to be one of those weeks. First, I barely get through Sarah's Key, which everyone is raving about, and then I have to force myself to read (skim?) Citizens, an online group read.
And I just knew I was going to love this book. It's about French history and I'm going to France in one week.
Come to find out, I'm just not that interested in knowing so much about the French Revolution. Call me shallow, but I was happy to go read the summary at World Book and be done with it.
