3.0

A quick and sweet read tied together by the 3, 218 days in a row Alice Ozma's father read aloud to her before bed. Occasionally sentimental, but often legitimately funny this book reminded me again what I love about memoir framed by a concept. It's one of my favorite structures for storytelling. Ozma's life has hard stories but she -- maybe unknowingly -- carried the weight of them in the grace of nightly reminders of her father's love for her, for reading, for story. A delightful read.
