Wowowow
In line with my non-fantasy reading strategy of late, I've been devouring Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring. It is absolutely fantastic. I couldn't put it down. I was so surprised how much I enjoyed it, as it's not my usual fare. It is classified as historical fiction and weaves a haunting, painstakingly descriptive story about the painter Vermeer and the back story to one of his paintings in particular.

Do I sound like I'm giving a book review? Probably, but who cares, Girl with a Pearl Earring has rocketed onto my all time favourite list and in typical Vron fashion, I've found out all I can about Vermeer, the novel and the upcoming movie starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johanssen as the main characters.

Bliss.
