Room by Emma Donoghue - This is one of those books you want to read in one go. It's a very different story, and without giving it away, I'll say that it's about a young woman and her son who live in Room. The boy tells the story, and it's very visceral as well as very visual. Once you've gotten into it a bit, go online to the Room website, where you'll see Room as it's meant to be laid out. I didn't do this until after I'd read the book, and my visualization of Room was slightly different than that of actual Room. All at once Room is safe and dangerous, and it can boggle the mind to understand how and why this is so, which is what makes this such a fascinating read.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
