Book 50 of 52: If I knew, don't you think I'd tell you?




A couple of friends at work have been monitoring my progress on my blog and realized that it's almost the end of December and I still had 4 books to read. They've getting worried (and so have I). One of them brought in this book for me. 199 pages - very manageable to fit in. She had no clue I've been a huge fan of Jann Arden for many many years. I have all her CDs, going back to when CDs were first introduced (yes, I'm that old...but so is Jann too!). I've seen her in concert and in the vagina monologues (remember that from the late-90s?). So it would be hard for me to give this book an unbiased review. 
The book is a compilations of her journal and blog entries from 2000 to 2002. There's no real theme or story here, just her thoughts on her life, human nature, and lots of observations about her cats and the weather. Through some of the fluff and humour there was some heavy stuff that was very honest and moving. Definitely worth the read for a long time fan. Thank you for sharing Jann! I'm off to find some more recent journal entries on her blog.
 
p.s. Enjoy the video. This is song that came on the radio on my way to the hospital in labour with Jack.
