I find myself reading for consumption, for the plot and the story. Later, if that experience has been satisfactory; I often return time and again to gather the richness of character development and other elements that passed me by the first time.

The Magic of Ordinary Days
This week I read The Magic of Ordinary Days by Ann Howard Creel. My mom recommended it to me. She told me when she finished it, she started reading it again right away (something she has never done with any other book). I did enjoy the book greatly. It was set in Colorado during WW2. The main character is a woman who a student of history working towards her masters degree. She has to abandon her plans and enter into an arranged marriage. I won't go into the details, but I did enjoy the book greatly. As she struggles with the accepting the disappointments of her new life, she learns to see the magic in everyday ordinary life.
