I'm back from a brief interlude at the Jersey Shore. I'm steeping myself in Bruce Springsteen. No more putting this off, no more being afraid. I've got to write my Glory Days paper.
I will need more words than I have.
I will need to watch this again and again.

The River by Mary Jane Beaufrand (Little, Brown, 2/10)
Veronica Severance feels cut off from the world. Forced to move from
the city to rural Oregon with her parents, she is haunted by loneliness
and by the chilling sounds of the Santiam, the river that runs through
her backyard.
Through the fog of isolation, Ronnie finds herself becoming close with
Karen, a young girl who she babysits. But when she discovers Karen’s
body on the banks of the Santiam, the victim of a supposed accident,
Ronnie feels compelled to uncover the truth.
Becoming increasingly obsessed with solving Karen’s death, Ronnie is
led deeper and deeper into the woods surrounding the river and to the
dark secret hidden within its midst.
Because Beaufrand’s previous novel, Primavera, was one of my favorite books of 2008.
Because the Little, Brown catalog says, “Will appeal to fans of Gail Giles and Veronica Mars,” and even though I know it’s a sales pitch, as sales pitches go, it hits the right notes with me.

comments in one day! I don't know if you realize it, but you have just shot 4 major blasts at the mean and sneaky girls who have tried a hostile takover of our blog. If they are too low and underhanded to understand the goodness and generosity of boys, maybe they'll understand our overwhelming numbers!!
I'm going to my first Bruce concert this fall. CANNOT. WAIT.
