enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Hill I am currently rereading every book in my collection. Between the commute, my early arrivals in Georgetown and my lunch break, I have a lot of time to breeze through books.

And I just reread Sammy’s Hill. It is chick lit. It is easy and breezy and not exactly a thinker. But it is funny. Because Sammy, the main character, is a totally hilarious nut case. And I wish more than anything that she was a real person and she kept a blog. Because I would for sure stalk her life.

The book takes place in DC and Sammy rides the red line to get to work. A fact that I found particularly exciting, mostly because I was sitting on the red line and on my way to work when I read it.

Anyways. Good book. Funny book. Little bit different book. And yes, it is written by Al Gore’s daughter. Somehow that made it all the more interesting to me.

And a sidenote/confession. I really want to write a book. While I am reading books, I always think, "Oh yes, I can totally do this." But let me tell you, reading words and writing words are two completely different tasks.

    I have to admit that I’m a blog lurker, but I couldn’t help but say that I totally think that you could write a book. A really great book. Your blog alone is witty and fabulous and entertaining. I think you make a lot of interesting observations about the world and I’d love to read them in book form. 🙂 So please go write one.
