You know, I didn't know a thing about the book before reading it. An online friend sent it to me and I'd heard such good things about it, I just jumped right in. Had I read the blurb first, I may have thought twice about reading the book!<BR/><BR/>Literary Feline - I would be more than happy to send the book your way, if you'd like. I don't plan to read it again.<BR/><BR/>Iliana - Looking forward to your thoughts!<BR/><BR/>Kookiejar - Might be worth checking out from the library. Ya never know until you try, right?<BR/><BR/>MyUtopia - see my note to Kookiejar. :)<BR/><BR/>Bookfool - You know me so well! Actually, it wasn't the least bit religious. Just a bit too something. <BR/><BR/>Katya - I think I can honestly say it's worth $5. Not much more, though!<BR/><BR/>Janet - I remember you mentioned that Joshilyn Jackson was at the conference. Interesting that she was more personable in front of the large group, but not so one-on-one. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're back in the blogosphere! You've been missed. Thanks for your sweet words about my Summertime post. It was fun to create. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-23135366547439875842007-06-23T04:35:00.000-07:002007-06-23T04:35:00.000-07:00Les, Jackson was at the Winter Weekend at the Bil...Les, Jackson was at the Winter Weekend at the Biltmore this year. I gave gods in Alabama a 4/5 and I did like between Georgia better but not enough to give it a 5/5. It is funny - as I go back and read my original notes, both books seem better than I remember them to be. Jackson gives a wonderfully funny talk to a large group but she is very cold one on one. <BR/><BR/>I know I am out of order but I LOVED your summertime pictures too.<BR/>I miss talking to you. Now that I am a free woman - watch out.

Funny, since I haven't read the book, that I guessed right. <BR/><BR/>For some reason, I have a terrible time loading Lisa's blog.

So much of life affects our feelings about a read, but I think hype is one of the worst. Expecting something and not getting it makes for a farther fall. I hope your next read hits the spot! :)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832231139076878401noreply@blogger.com
