You know, the ole "killing two birds with one stone" trick. Gotta keep those brain waves kicking. <br /><br />This sounds like a cute romance novel. Something my daughters might like to read. The cover is gorgeous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-63721310667155038362010-10-28T18:23:34.637-07:002010-10-28T18:23:34.637-07:00Hi Catherine - thanks for posting about this book....Hi Catherine - thanks for posting about this book. I haven't heard of it, but might be tempted to pick it up before the movie comes out.

It's a hard job to do when you've not warmed to the charcters - sounds like I wouldn't have liked them much either! I do enjoy fiction books but they either have to be based in reality or totally outside of it, not lurking inbetween as though they can't quite make up their mind!<br />I've just reviewed a book over on my blog but I really enjoyed that - it was by Kathryn Hall at 'Plant whatever brings you joy' and was a pleasure to review ......so I'm feeling quite lucky that I got such an enjoyable read!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-72828002345281919172010-10-26T17:16:11.776-07:002010-10-26T17:16:11.776-07:00I'm more into non-fiction myself but this does...I'm more into non-fiction myself but this does sound like an interesting read.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270611634380137009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-91796633787882937622010-10-26T17:05:43.390-07:002010-10-26T17:05:43.390-07:00I'm sorry this book wasn't such a good fit...I'm sorry this book wasn't such a good fit for you, but I'm glad it was easy to pick up even after a few days away. :)<br /><br />Thanks for being a part of the tour.Heather J. @ TLC Bookshttp://tlcbooktours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-79622021941521893402010-10-26T15:19:57.922-07:002010-10-26T15:19:57.922-07:00Catherine, I actually think you've given it a ...Catherine, I actually think you've given it a very fair review. Like you, I prefer to read about people or places that have some grounding in fact or history. In fact, I rarely pick up works of fiction, but when I do, I prefer them to be well researched and plausible at least. This book sounds like one I'd choose to leave on the shelf.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-80477683100774132622010-10-26T14:58:07.910-07:002010-10-26T14:58:07.910-07:00Hi Catherine, sounds like it would not exactly be ...Hi Catherine, sounds like it would not exactly be my 'cup of tea' either. But you did good with what you had to work with.<br />I've been in the hospital again. Seems be be October is my month each year for getting sick. I do this just to screw up Bob's hunting season you know. That isn't nice of me but seems to be the way it works. In fact the Dr. who admitted me said he admitted me this year on the same exact day he was releasing me last year. O'well. I need to behave myself. Hopefully I'm back to get busy and start visiting everyone again and possibly write a little on my blog although I'm a little brain dead at this point. I'll just have to be happy visiting for now.<br />It's sooooo good to be out and reading all of you again!RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-17998092825466730162010-10-26T14:50:48.146-07:002010-10-26T14:50:48.146-07:00Very interesting.

I get the impression that the characters are somewhat lacking in credibility and that, for me, would be thend of my interest. It sounds an improbable basis for a film...we shall see!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
