Minneapolis Woman Held Captive by Book

Oh, man. My nose is stuck in a book tonight. I've been trying to pull myself away to finish laundry, but it's been impossible. I've been getting up to pee and get beer out of the fridge (normally would drink coffee, but it tastes like blood when reading this book), and that's about it. The book is Bitter Grounds, by Sandra Benitez. Julie loaned it to me a few months ago, and I am hooked. ...What? No! Of course I haven't been bawling my head off while I'm reading it. No way. Not me. Sheesh, what kind of a sniveling sissy-baby do you take me for? Nothing but dry eyes here. Yupper dupper.
