Day 2: before and after
subject: Blue Like Jazz
why? because I loved this book, it was such a good read and spoke to me on many levels. And it made me laugh. And because I actually have a funny story behind why I even have a before and after.
Last week I loaned my copy of Blue Like Jazz to Dayna since she had to turn her copy back into the library and I had already read it. Earlier this week I get a call from her asking to drop off my book. And I thought- wow- she really devoured that book. I was truly impressed. When I get home the book is waiting for me, when I flip through the book I see, all my pages are ear-marked, all my notes are underlined but the book is brand spanking new!
I called Dayna and asked what happened. Apparently she loves to read in the bathtub, in fact that is where she spends all her time reading. She has never had a casualty yet, until she read my copy of Blue Like Jazz. Dear gal, felt so bad, bought me a brand new copy and went through the whole thing earmarking and underlining to give it to me as I gave it to her. Amazing! It cracked me up because I would not have minded having the old wet book back. Anyway- I loved her story so much and loved her gesture, and loved how the book looked, I had to capture it as my before and after!
