A Reader's Respite : Feeling Presidential

Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:40:17 +0000

I can't even tell you how uncomfortable those teeth look! Like torture devices. And yours is the second review to make me actually consider reading this ... and it is NOT a book I would seek out. My recent post Musashi Readalong-Book 2- Water

Now that I think of it, I think I remember when this happened. I can't even imagine how this must have felt for the poor kid. You do have a knack for finding these books with such tragic or horrible stories in them! My recent post Musashi Readalong-Book 2- Water

I couldn't make it through the movie ... and it didn't want me to go seek out the book. I'm glad it worked for you. I think I checked out when they were holding open his eyes in the movie ... I couldn't handle that for some reason!

If you can see the end, perhaps you should go there and then build the bridge from the middle to it. Don't stop if you have your mojo going!

A Reader's Respite : RIP: The Thirteenth Tale

Wed, 6 Oct 2010 23:29:31 +0000

I'm reading "Rebecca" right now and just love the cover you have much more than the one I have, which is just the name Rebecca. I guess I can understand this review better once I've finishing Rebecca ... Lord knows I'll never forget Flowers in the Attic! My recent post Up On The Roof

That is a fantastic deal. And I think my husband might like this ... he loves books that tell the "insider's view' of odd jobs. My recent post October Giveaway

A Reader's Respite : The Acquisitions Department

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 00:30:41 +0000

It doesn't matter if we sense a pattern ... but does your new assistant recognize the pattern and file the acquisitions appropriately? My recent post A Valley Girl’s Take on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Great idea! I may just have to go on a cruise with you. And I tell you ... you read some seriously depressing books with heavy duty storylines. My recent post A Valley Girl’s Take on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

A Reader's Respite : Mini Reviews and a Photo Journey

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:50:11 +0000

First of all, your children are ADORABLE. Pure sweetness. Love the photos ... you make me miss the Pacific Northwest. I need to get back soon to get my fix. And you are one of the few bloggers who seemed to like The Magicians. I read so many bad reviews that I'd kind of written it off. My recent post A Valley Girl’s Take on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

A Reader's Respite : Stupid. Times two.

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:47:43 +0000

Argh ... what ridiculousness. And I'm going to look for a book I've been searching for with a litlte bit of effort (not just listing it on my wish list on Paperback Swap) and if I can't find it, I'll hire you! My recent post A Valley Girl’s Take on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

You've got all types of good things happening in your family. That's great! And when Mr. Jenners and I got married at a winery, we got TONS of wine-themed gifts ... and we didn't even like WINE ... just the location!

I saw the movie but it probably would have helped to have read the book too.
