Day 6 of Bout of Books 12 and rather than slowing down on my reading, as I thought yesterday, I had a sleepless night so decided to read
No pun intended! I finished it about 5am and picked up The Lottery and Other Stories to read (part of my Shirley Jackson reread this year). I might put that to one side though as I want to take my time and pick up either the Jodi Picoult or Elly Griffiths books I have from the library which need to go back next week.

Literary Quote Challenge hosted by Gone with the Words
I love this opening paragraph of The Lottery because it makes everything seem so innocuous and nobody has any idea of what's about to happen
