What am I reading...
Did Siri Mitchell use my personality profile for this book? There were points when I felt like I was reading a book based on me. She changed some key points of course. I don't have brown hair, am not an environmentalist who works as a civilian at the air force academy, I was not forced to subdivide my office into a cubicle, I don't wear converse sneakers with flames on them, and I don't live with my grandmother.Jackie Harrison uses her online blog to deal with the new stresses in her life. Mostly involving the pilot turned history teacher Joe, who just happens to share her newly subdivided office. Joe manages to insert himself into every aspect of her life and has a way of encouraging to do things she would have never considered.
Of course it can't be that easy boy meets girl and they fall in love and live happily ever after. Jackie has trust and fear issues that left me screaming at her "just get over it," but at the same time knowing I would be reacting in the same way.
"The Cubicle Next Door" was a fun read that had me reading slowly (a rare feat) to savor the book. I am sad now that I finished it, and I am longing for more by Siri Mitchell.
Next read "Violet Dawn" by Brandilyn Collins. Unfortunately I can't start it tonight, it's dark out.

I want to read "The Cubicle Next Door". I understand why you can't read Brandilynn Collins at night, neither can I.
Hi! You don't know me; I just stumbled across your blog while doing a search for "The Cubicle Next Door." I finished it today and loved it.
After I read your notes on TCND, I skimmed some of your other posts and wanted to tell you how encouraged I was by them. You seem to have such a positive outlook on everything; even when you have rough days, you focus on the blessings. I really admire - and envy - that trait. I'm trying to work on being more upbeat in my own posts (I tend to be a pessimist).
Reading your blog was also a sort of insight to my own soul. You remind me a lot of myself (minus the fact that your glass always seems to be half full). The “Flabby, fat, and lazy” post is SO me - even the part about writing a manuscript; I am in the middle of a novel. The dragon bumper sticker. The recent development of OCD with the addition of a roommate to my life. The desire to just get away and escape into the majesty of God’s creation.
Thanks for helping me learn a little bit about myself through reading about you. I’m only 19, but in a decade or so, I hope I’m still like you. You seem like a wonderful individual; the kind of person I’d like to be.
-Allison
