Smakebit på søndag: Attachments

Bild lånad från bokus

Smakbiten den här veckan kommer från en bok jag inte har börjat på ännu, Attachments. Enligt baksidestexten kommer den handla om ett par vänner på ett kontor som under arbetstid skickar e-mejl fram och tillbaka om sina liv. Mejlen granskas av en it-tekniker, Lincoln, som så småningom faller för den ena av dem utan att de någonsin träffats. Låter inte riktigt som min typ av bok, men författaren är den strålande Rainbow Rowell så jag håller tummarna.

"Lincoln, you look terrible."

     "Thanks, Mom." He'd have to take her word for it. He hadn't looked in a mirror today. Or yesterday. Lincoln rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to smooth it down... or maybe just over. Maybe he should have combed it when he got out of the shower last night. 

     "Seriously, look at you. And look at the clock. It's noon. Did you just wake up?"

     "Mom, I don't get off work until one A.M."

     She frowned, then handed him a spoon. "Here," she said, "stir these beans." She turned on the mixe and half shouted over it. "I still don't understand what you do in that place that can't be done in daylight... No, honey, not like that, you're just petting them. Really stir."

Fler smakbitar finns idag på bloggen Betraktninger där AstridTherese vikarierar som smakbitssamlare.
Ha en skön söndag :)
