Released on Sunday, June 01, 2003 at Mailed to a fellow book-crosser! in Norwell, Massachusetts USA.

I don't usually make release notes for controlled releases, but I've decided that doing so for rays is a good way to get more participants since they show up in the sidebar. This was mailed out to Germany a while back, and should be received soon. Please PM me to be added to the list.

this book arrived yesteray, but I hadn't time to make a journal entry.
I try to read it very soon. thanks for letting me join this bookray.

update 06/26/03:

At first I thought that this book wasn't a book for me, but so more I read I really start to like the character in the book.
Specially I liked Sam and Julia, they both had some hard time but they managed.

Hope that the other readers of this book will also like it.

Now the book will take a journey offer the ocean to ramson......

Journal Entry 10 by FranciJo from Waco, Texas USA on Friday, September 26, 2003

I just couldn't get into this book. I found the characters to be rather whiney. But, I know from the bookstore that many other people have enjoyed it. So, I'm sending it off to wontyoubefair, hoping it finds friendlier hands!

Journal Entry 13 by thescreaming from Cumberland, Maryland USA on Tuesday, July 06, 2004

This came in today's mail, along with a literal pile of other bookrings! It may be a while before I can get to this, but I'll try to read it as soon as possible. 

Journal Entry 14 by thescreaming from Cumberland, Maryland USA on Monday, August 02, 2004

What a wonderful book. I have yet to read a Jane Green novel that I didn't like, and this one didn't disappoint. I liked how didn't try to make motherhood look really easy and enjoyable, rather told the truth. Green always makes her characters so easy to relate to.

I'll try to get this out to raynebair by the end of the week. 

Journal Entry 15 by raynebair from Montgomery, Alabama USA on Monday, August 23, 2004

Received this book a few weeks ago, but then Hurricane Charley hit and I headed to Florida to help family clean up. Everyone is okay and they faired a lot better than many. I've started reading the book at least, just now getting around to making a journal entry. I'll report back once I've finished reading it. 

Journal Entry 16 by raynebair from Montgomery, Alabama USA on Thursday, August 26, 2004

Great book. I was skeptical at first but I immediately got hooked on this book. I liked how it broke the story down into the three stages of "babyhood", even though each story was somehow entertwined.

I've sent a pm to the next person on the list and will mail this out as soon as I get an address.
