I can't even get into Shades of Grey and we are supposed to read books 1 and 2 for summer book club...blah, her writing is so poor that if the content wasn't so titillating, this would end up in the dollar bin at Family Dollar store in mid-town. BUT am loving Wolf Hall about the 1500's and royalty, courts, and intrigue in England...historical fiction catches me every time....best book I've ever read, Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry...some of his other stuff, ickity, ick, ick, ick, but this one was a prize, once in a lifetime present to myself. Seize the day Kathleen and DO NOT read what you DO NOT like....<br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545526788079020239.post-30665737349880382862012-06-20T15:25:19.871-07:002012-06-20T15:25:19.871-07:00That's too bad...

However, when Sebold's next novel came out, THE ALMOST MOON, I was disappointed. Not up to the quality of BONES.<br />I am SO going to check out your blog.

It sounded SO interesting, but halfway through I just couldn't make myself plow through it any longer! The Club Dumas, I believe it was. I recently picked up a book by the same author and ALMOST got taken in by the book jacket. It sounded great. Good thing I remembered the author's name! I recommend The Lovely Bones if you haven't read it. Great writer. Tough, unusual subject. But a great writer! I do book reviews on my blog, too! http://homeschoolblogger.com/glorydays/ I hate the ads and may have to move it, but for now, it's there! :o)Charity Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293010532499449059noreply@blogger.com
