Hello, Writers!
My reading this week included a reread of Call Me by Your Name by Aciman for class I'm taking. It's interesting to reread books as a writer (vs. a reader) and then breaking the story apart to see how it was written. I also started Stephen King's latest novel, Billy Summers. King is a master storyteller, if at times a bit verbose. Still, I enjoy getting lost in his complex characters and their journeys.
