Last year’s recipe for Memorial Day weekend success was
repeated this year: friends gather at
Rappahannock River; Bookworm reads depressing book.

While my friends were off expending energy kayaking (they
literally did this for fun), I was wrapped up in Incendiary by Chris Cleave.
I was so excited to find this book on a Barnes & Noble run with
Bookworm & Blog Mocker Erin, since I was a huge fan of Cleave’s Little Bee. Expectations were high for the book and the
weekend.
Both delivered. Ok,
that was a line written for blogging convenience. The time with friends at the river was
perfect, and the book was good but it was no Little Bee. Though it was
just as disturbing, and I have to give the author credit – he definitely doesn’t
tell stories I feel like I have heard 100 times before. The bombing of a London soccer stadium was a
new one for me. As was sailing on the
vessel of Captain Cabell. I am happy to
report the entire crew survived, and went on to read quietly on the pier for
hours. What a perfect weekend.
