Received this in the mail yesterday. It still has Betsy-STL's Busch Stadium postcard in it. Nice to see something familiar in a BC book, especially since our St. Louis Cardinals are now playing in the World's Series! (Go Cards!)
I'll be getting to this as soon as possible, but I have a few books in front. Thanks for including me, mlbish!
UPDATE: 11/30/06 - slowly making my way through my stack of book rings/rays and finally to this one! Starting this today.

Wow! I thought this was one of Alice Hoffman's better ones. It was one of those "can't put it down" reads! If it weren't for my busy schedule, I probably could have read it all in one day. Passing it along to Invern next, as soon as I can get to the post office.
Mailed to Inver on 02/02/07. My deepest apologies for holding onto this so long.

Arrived today. I have just started another bookring so may be a few weeks before I get to this one. Thank you Mamikaem for sending it on.
13/4/07 Hoping to get this finished soon....3/4 way through.

My second Alice Hoffman but glad it wasn't my first (Blue Diary was and really enjoyed so much I wanted to share started a bookring) but can't say this wouldn't have had the same enthusiasm. When I started it I thought it was going to be a great read, but have to say I began to lose interest when I was nearly 3/4 way through. I didn't give up on it though, but I found it disappointing and was glad when it finished. I felt I was just reading it for the sake of getting to the end to find out what happened. Also....why was it called 'Turtle Moon'? Don't think I figured that out or did I miss the point of the referral!!
I have the address of the next on the list and will post it off soon.

Received this book the day before my surgery, so I am just now getting around to the JE-- my apologies.
I am placing this one on top of Mt. TBR to be read as soon as I finish my current book. I should start this one by Monday.
Thanks so much for the book and the postcards!

A fun read by Alice Hoffman who is one of my favorite authors. Am reserving it until I contact the ray/ ring originator to see what to do with the book next. Thanks for including me!
I still think Practical Magic, Here on Earth and Blue Diary are Hoffman's better works. Although this got harder to put down the further I read into the book.
