A day late and a dollar short, as usual.

Well, I actually finished The Wee Free Men last Wednesday and have been busy up to my ears since. It was quite lovely that I had something entertaining to read on the ride to and from Salt Lake last Wednesday (the textiles, sewing, and statistics students went on a field trip to Deseret Mills where they make all of the temple clothes and garments). It was kind of obnoxious, though, to be completely absorbed in the story and start chortling and realize that the six people around me (who obviously forgot to bring their own charming novels) didn't get the joke and didn't appreciate that I was enjoying myself. What was even more obnoxious was that I had to put it down and I somehow found myself having to choose between hiding on the bus and finishing the book or taking the exclusive tour through Deseret Mills and take in all the wonders of those factory seamstresses (I swear, I will never understand how they can sew like that and avoid hurting themselves. Really. Sewing at those kinds of speeds...it left me speechless). And you know that your reading habits are causing issues when you can't reason rationally.

I did love that the heroine's name was Tiffany. I don't think I had read a book yet with the main character having the name of Tiffany. And I would literally have to either mouth or say out loud the wee men's lines. I couldn't resist myself from sounding it out loud, which drove my husband crazy, because he didn't have the least idea of what I was trying to say.

All in all, I thought it was a fun book, a sweet treat to lighten your day, and a quick read--but not because it's short but because you can't put the darn book down even if you have reached Rexburg and you're husband is wondering why you haven't gotten off the darn bus yet.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars. :)
