Can't wait to start reading it, but have to finish a few library books first.

Damn it, I totally forgot to make a journal entry when I read the book!
I absolutely loved it. It is a charming, beautiful story with a wonderful main character. Actually I loved the whole family. Besides, it has one of the most memorable first sentences I ever read. :o)

And because I'd love to share it wth more people I have sent it to ajsmom in Canada and will see if I can start a bookring with it once she is finished reading it. I hope it will return to me eventually, because I'd love to read it again in a few years.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I'm so glad I was finally able to get my hands on a copy as a bookring I had signed up for has stalled indefinitely. Thanks so much for sending it my way, samulli. Let me know when you organize a ring for it and I can send it to the first reader if you like.

Journal Entry 8 by kitiarablue from Jersey City, New Jersey USA on Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Arrived today! I've already started reading it and hope I won't be able to put it down! Thanks Samulli for organising the ring, and thanks for the kind thought ajsmom!

Journal Entry 9 by kitiarablue from Jersey City, New Jersey USA on Sunday, January 13, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as you can tell by the length of time it took me to finish reading it! I didn't want to rush through, it is the kind of book you just want to sit and savor. I love when a book makes me wonder what its characters are up to during the times I'm not able to read it, and this book is one of those. I will be sending it on as soon as I have Bdgrgrl's info!

Journal Entry 10 by kitiarablue from Jersey City, New Jersey USA on Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Both Bdgrgrl and aava have asked to be skipped, so I've contacted Brujula and will mail it out as soon as I have the address!

Journal Entry 12 by Brujula from Valenciennes, Nord-Pas-de-Calais France on Thursday, March 20, 2008

Thank you!

Journal Entry 13 by Brujula from Valenciennes, Nord-Pas-de-Calais France on Saturday, August 23, 2008
Really a charming story, with a endearable, most lovable narrator, full of humour...
I loved the bit about good deeds and hot baths being the best cure for depression!

Thank you so much for sharing this so nice book!

What should I do with it? Do you want me to send it back to you, samulli? Or would you like to try to go on with the ring?
