Raise your hand if you ever been totally engrossed in a good book. You know the one - it captures your attention from the first page and doesn't let go. Also when you "daydream" intermittently throughout the day, your mind "races" back to the book, the characters, the plot. I am in the middle of that entire feeling while still reading;
The Red Sparrow, by Jason Matthews. The novel was selected by my book club, and I am thankful that I started that first page because it's so good and I don't want it to end. My "strategy" is to read a few chapters a night...savoring the character development and the twists and turns the novel provides. At times I feel like I am transported to the cities and restaurants the author meticulously describes in the book because he doesn't miss any juicy details that relates to the story and wants his readers to stay "involved". That is certainly a craft for sure!
