Journal Entry 3 by Amberkatze from Wien Bezirk 10 - Favoriten, Wien Austria on Wednesday, December 14, 2005

I finished reading this last night so it is all ready to go off on a trip!

Another great Jill Mansell book! I really loved the characters and the storyline and once again I couldn't put the book down once I had started!

I won't say anymore because it wouldn't be fair on the people joining the ring! 

Journal Entry 4 by asterw from Athens, Attica Greece on Tuesday, January 10, 2006

I received the book yesterday. I'm really looking forward to reading another Jill Mansell book, she's my favourite chick-lit author! I'll start the book within the week. 

Journal Entry 5 by asterw from Athens, Attica Greece on Wednesday, January 18, 2006

I finished the book two days ago. As always, Jill Mansell didn't disappointed me. I enjoyed reading the stories of severeal people, their reactions, their thoughts. Quick plot, funny parts, that's Jill Mansell!

Thank you Amberkatze for sharing it! I'm PMing lulubookish for her address.

Journal Entry 11 by Mochagirl from Sydney, New South Wales Australia on Saturday, April 08, 2006

I'm hijacking this journal to say that I'm starting up a couple of (hopefully international!) bookrays for two books by Serena Mackesy. They are essentially chicklit, and are witty and fun so I think all you Jill Mansell fans might enjoy them ;)

And it's here. Will read and journal again. 

Journal Entry 19 by three104 from Catawba, Wisconsin USA on Sunday, October 01, 2006

I liked the story, but I do have a few complaints. My biggests is I was satisfied with what happened with Sean and Pandora? What happened? I didn't not like Imogen, for obvious reasons. Come-uppance is right.

Sorry for having this for so long - it's been a hectic month. Sending out tomorrow. 

Journal Entry 20 by bookchick88 from Ravenna, Ohio USA on Friday, November 10, 2006

Thanks!

I received this a few days ago and started it immediatly since I have so many br's going on.

I love Jill Mansell, and this book is another great one of hers. The characters are always fun and lively and the plot is always a page turner. :)

Loved it.

Will send along to the next person as soon as I receive their addy. 

Journal Entry 21 by Amberkatze from Wien Bezirk 10 - Favoriten, Wien Austria on Sunday, February 18, 2007

RainDrop162004 is this still with you?

I think this book is lost? I can't believe it hasn't reached another address in the States since Nov!
 

Journal Entry 22 by Amberkatze from Wien Bezirk 10 - Favoriten, Wien Austria on Friday, August 03, 2007

I have not heard back from anyone about this book :( I guess it is gone!

Will set as travelling and maybe one day it will get a journal.

I will not be replacing this ring. Sorry to anyone who was waiting for it! I hope you all manage to find your own copies and enjoy the book as much as I did!

RELEASE NOTES:

mailed to mellonhead of Austin, Texas who is the next person on the bookray list.

I hope you enjoy this book, mellonhead. 

Journal Entry 25 by mellonhead from Austin, Texas USA on Monday, March 10, 2008

This book arrived this weekend with another fabulous Mansell bookring, Millie's Fling. I'm looking forward to reading both of them, but I just received this one as a RABCK last week! So, I'm going to send it on quickly.

I'm so glad to see Raindrop is clearing out her shelves of bookring books. Congratulations! Thank you to everyone else, especially Amberkatze for your book trip planning and tracking abilities and your patience.

ETA: I this this was one of my favorite Mansell books ever. Her characters are amazing, timeless and while they are fantasy charcters, still seem very real, or maybe I just identify with the turning-40 theme!

I never did hear back from summerbreeze (11 or 04), so I'm moving to the next in line. blaizeablini does not want the book now, so I've sent a PM to lulubookish.
