I was at Barnes and Noble doing some last minute Christmas shopping, and a book caught my eye. I recognized it – I had seen it before. It was by an author whom I have read before; so I was interested in reading it. I bought it for myself along with the books I bought as gifts.

The book?

Rooms by Lauren Oliver.

I’ve read it before, obviously.

The thing is? After reading my review, and flipping through the pages, I remember NONE OF IT. Why is this? I must have liked it at the time. But now, my mind is a blank slate.

Anyway, I have the receipt and I’ll be bringing it back to Barnes and Noble once the holiday crowds dissipate. And perhaps I’ll get something that I have NOT read yet.
