There was a knock at the door that shook the world. The room where I sat remained quiet as I waited in the leather Ottoman; my feet tucked under me Indian-style. I was totally absorbed; not wanting to put the book down, not wanting to lose my place, not wanting to come back to reality.

I LOVE getting that lost in a book.
The quality of these "55"s is just getting better with each week. Love it, and they ARE 'short reads' -grin!
Cat, you're good! Still!
You had me fooled for a minute...I thought you didn't want to be disturbed for the weekend...after reconsidering eating the kids & all...glad it's your 55!
I like it. I like it a lot.
excellent!
Totally freaken enjoy these. I'm wondering just how much work and strain goes into writing these because your's seem seamless, natural.
Make the world go away..chapter by chapter. Love it!
Takes lots of naps this holiday, Catwoman;)
Now, if only you could sleep as deeply as you read! Ha ha. Thanks for calling me brilliant for making and eating junk food. You are too kind Cat, really.
And how many more days until school starts again?
I can relate. Great 55, Cat
I have to hide from the monkeys when I am reading a book, but somehow they always seem to find me. I dread that knock at the door! I feel ya on this one!
YES!!!!!
I have a bookmark that says "Sssshhhhhh! Can't you see I'm reading!"
Btw, I'm so impressed with you ability to do the 55. My verbosity precludes any attempt to make my thoughts into any less than 140 characters. Even then I struggle. =)
a wonderful 55 -- and i know the feeling. you captured it perfectly here! :-)
I can identify with this. I can get lost in books.
I love this one!
