I have not heard much negative thought about CeeCee, but I can easily imagine saccharine situations and characters. I'll let you know my thoughts, which I'm sure will parallel yours, when I read it.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-10779162028266613552010-07-03T06:48:54.312-07:002010-07-03T06:48:54.312-07:00Joy - Yep, we were definitely in agreement on this...Joy - Yep, we were definitely in agreement on this one, weren't we?! :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-23052768977013979452010-06-27T06:26:46.952-07:002010-06-27T06:26:46.952-07:00Okay, I've come back to reread your thoughts a...Okay, I've come back to reread your thoughts after having read the book and posting my thoughts. My conclusion is that this post is the epitome of "DITTO!" :)<br /><br />(Can there be an epitome of a word? Well, if not - there is now.)<br /><br />I didn't remember reading your thoughts prior to now, but apparently I did. (see above) And, it appears that my hunch was spot on.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-88674690246847258512010-02-21T17:47:19.887-08:002010-02-21T17:47:19.887-08:00And that should read, "miss its mark" no...And that should read, "miss its mark" not "miss it's mark."

I was tied up with jury duty last week and was mentally exhausted by end of the day.<br /><br />Kay - I agree with you completely. Who knows how I would've reacted to this book had I waited to read it later this year. Or prior to hearing it being compared to <i>The Help</i>. I'm a firm believer in timing. This one just happened to miss it's mark.<br /><br />Diane - You know, I'm glad so many people loved it. I would feel terrible for any new author to have EVERYONE dislike their book. <br /><br />Thanks for the blogiversary congrats. The years sure have flown quickly!<br /><br />Nancy - LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed the review. And lucky you to get a copy of The Postmistress!!! I really want to read that one soon. Maybe I should wait until all the hype dies down, though.<br /><br />Jan - You're welcome! It's always nice to have someone affirm your opinion, isn't it? Do you have a blog? Just curious how you found me.<br /><br />Lisa - Oh, dear. Not The Help of 2010, eh? But a good read? I'll have to check out your review. At least I can go into the book with an open mind, right?<br /><br />Joy - You crack me up! :) But hey, you may love it. I know we haven't always clicked on the same books. Let me know if you give it a try.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-24286071847760344622010-02-19T13:13:18.403-08:002010-02-19T13:13:18.403-08:00EEK!

BTW--I liked The Postmistress but it is definitely not The Help of 2010.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-83877140369963319472010-02-16T08:52:49.527-08:002010-02-16T08:52:49.527-08:00THANK YOU!!

And otherwise not. Sorry you didn't care for this one, but we have connected often enough on things for me to know that we will again. I'm looking forward to reading The Postmistress, by the way. I've heard a lot about it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
