I'll bet your excited about the possibility of Michelle Pfieffer starring in the film... I think she'd be perfect! And as far as recommending it to all my friends, you don't have to worry. I have the book on my personal "employee recommends" endcap (I work at B&N) and will keep it there throughout the holidays. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-21454264105358549652012-10-29T09:25:48.675-07:002012-10-29T09:25:48.675-07:00Hello one and all,

On the hopeful news front, Michelle Pfieffer has optioned it and would love to star in it. That would be life-changing...Anyhow, I hope you'll recommend it to all your friends, and, as you know, Christmas is coming...<br /><br />xx,<br />SonyaSonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992239969770885567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-16108779463793248962012-10-21T15:33:54.767-07:002012-10-21T15:33:54.767-07:00It was a productive day!

I'm trying to get caught up on my reviews. Only 3 more to go!<br /><br />Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-33956491129849901922012-10-20T09:10:20.431-07:002012-10-20T09:10:20.431-07:00What a day well spent.

I practically have sticky-notes on each and every page! ;) Thank you for introducing me to her works.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-66884941703306227002012-10-16T19:24:37.996-07:002012-10-16T19:24:37.996-07:00Wasn't it wonderful, JoAnn?!

It really spoke to me as a woman, wife and mother.

Give it a try, Joy. A don't be put off by the "verse" style. I actually love it!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-83436161067141625982012-10-16T14:47:04.107-07:002012-10-16T14:47:04.107-07:00The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus was such a surprise...The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus was such a surprise for me - an unexpectedly great read, and perfect for readathon! Twenty minutes of reading before bed just isn't enough for me either. Good luck carving out that extra reading time each weekend.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-24128547541752444162012-10-16T12:07:42.091-07:002012-10-16T12:07:42.091-07:00Well, Nora really was writing more from 'my...Well, Nora really was writing more from 'my' age group perspective. ;<)<br />50 feels so long ago, I can barely remember it except for the fact I had two teenagers, and one began driving. YIKES. no wonder my hair is all white. <br />So pleased you read the Mary Oliver poems. It feels like she's in the room talking to you, doesn't it. Just you and her together. Oh, she's wonderful.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-22833491273558523352012-10-16T07:11:57.857-07:002012-10-16T07:11:57.857-07:00I'm curious about your thoughts on the Neiman ...I'm curious about your thoughts on the Neiman Marcus book, too! I have it on my TBR shelf, but haven't made the time yet. When it first came out, I began listening to the Neck book, but wasn't interested. Glad to read that they are different.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-66356418845751321362012-10-15T18:47:14.293-07:002012-10-15T18:47:14.293-07:00So far, I'm loving it!

I've been laughing out loud quite a bit, but last night as I read, I found myself feeling sad and had a lump in my throat. Overall, it's a wonderful book. I'm so glad Nancy/Bookfool recommended it, as I never would have picked it up otherwise.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-40946792089394034222012-10-15T14:36:30.847-07:002012-10-15T14:36:30.847-07:00You had a great readathon.
