The Sugar Queen

I'm currently sitting in a...well it's not really a cafe. I guess it's more like a mini and nicely decorated food court type place with three places for food, including that great Canadian treasure, Tim Horton's. With good weather and warmth on the way I'm trying to avoid the sugar, which leads to more craving. So to satisfy this craving right now I'm looking at a wonderful novel entitled The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. It's such a wonderfully whimsical tale where the colour red has surprising powers and real passion makes the eggs fry in their cartons. It's filled with magic and sweets. Lots and lots of sweets! I'll show you.That's a lot of sugar. Just looking at it helps satisfy the sweet tooth. I think I'll make it through another day. Then again... I might just head over to the vending machine... I am a sugar queen after all.
