That's how I read my first novel by Anita Shreve and then read more. It's always fun to guess someone's character by his/her bookcase. That would be lost if we switched to ebooks.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-77176719544854545502015-02-04T11:15:47.543-05:002015-02-04T11:15:47.543-05:00Collapsed ceiling?

It was a "leftover" by someone with whom I shared an adjunct teachers' office (i.e., she got fired and left everything behind), and -- in spite of the title, cover, and unfamiliar author -- I gave it a whirl. Well, for me, it turned out to be one of that best books of that year. <br /><br />R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-80476786489669929072015-02-04T10:05:58.863-05:002015-02-04T10:05:58.863-05:00I always like to see what other people are reading...I always like to see what other people are reading and occasionally I do find something that interests me. Now that we have established a "library" in the laundry room of our building there are literally hundreds of books people have donated and I have taken a few to read. I've also donated dozens myself.<br /><br />Jeff M.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-28541382944693763572015-02-04T09:38:29.161-05:002015-02-04T09:38:29.161-05:00I have read a couple of mysteries lately that I wo...I have read a couple of mysteries lately that I wouldn't recommend too strongly either. Well, actually, I'm giving up on one halfway through--life is too short to waste anymore time on something I really don't like:) But I can put up with a lot if I like the characters. Sounds like this book at least has that going for it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
