Heard this author on MPR today while driving to dog training class. Sounds like a book I'd like to read and I've never read any of her others. Stopped and bought it on the way! Now that's a good interview!

Here's a little blurb that I attach to each book that I've registered:

Welcome to BookCrossing! It's a site for catching and releasing books and spreading the good karma of reading! Please make a journal entry when you FIND this book and let previous readers know how you came upon it. You may remain anonymous on this site if you like but it's very safe and spam free. We leave FREE books around for others to stumble upon...they read, and then re-release in a public place for someone else to enjoy. Of course you're welcome to keep the book if you prefer but it's more fun to watch them travel and to hear from them once in a while. I hope you enjoy the book but I especially hope you enjoy BookCrossing.

Many thanks, Poobah1
Make the *WORLD* your library!

This book is taking forever to get through. I do not like it so far and hate how this writer writes. I can't believe she's as popular as she is. I have not read anything else of hers but most of my bookclub mates have read her stuff and really enjoy her. We'll see how it shakes out. I have a beautiful hard cover here...I'll do a wishlist search when I'm done and it'll be off to someone who can love it perhaps.

OK, now I'm done with the book and I don't feel any better than when I last journaled. Let's just suffice it to say, "it wasn't for me." I'll let her loose and hopefully someone who can truly enjoy this authors work will pick it up. [I did a wishlist search as stated in above journal and there are only a few BCers wishing for this one.{I guess that makes sense}and I'm just sending out 8 RABCKs across the globe for a drawing I've done and don't want to spend anymore jing on book stuff right now...so off she goes into the wild.] Anyway, I'm not sorry I read this book...I'm just sayin'-she's a very popular writer with a strong following. I'll find this books next reader and it strikes a chord with them. Best wishes little book...I LOVE your cover!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

This one goes out to my lovely girl friend "R". She surprised me with a nice book last week as she was stalking around my house...[probably looking for my husband] while I was out of town. "Looking at your flowers", I think was the line she used. Anyhooooooo, I love this girl and think she is one of the funniest people I have ever encountered. I never fail to double over laughing when I'm with her. She's more than that of course and such attributes that come to mind are kind, warm, sharp, cute, strong - I could go on and on but I won't, shall we move on? We're spending a girls w/e together next week and I may need some time off to recover following the event. I can't wait! I hope she likes this book. It's a beautiful hard cover that is crying out for the right reader...perhaps I've found her! We shall see...



Many cheers from her good friend,
Poobah1 :^)

Books…Love ‘em and Leave ‘em.
