I guess I'll have to bring it into the house, now that I've graduated from physical therapy and don't have an excuse to listen to audios in the car (the only time I'm in it long enough is when I drive to the Jackson metro area). <br /><br />Isn't that pretty? I'm an orchid flunkie, myself. I've killed three of them, to date. I kept one growing for nearly a year, but it only bloomed once.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-72994647509091601452011-01-27T13:21:31.151-06:002011-01-27T13:21:31.151-06:00I tried to listen to P.S.

I still want to rent the movie, though, as I hear it's very good (for chick-lit!).<br /><br />Gorgeous orchid!!! I tried to grow one once... My mom is much better at keeping those things alive. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-41427010194272737782011-01-25T22:18:28.036-06:002011-01-25T22:18:28.036-06:00Kelly,

But, the heroine's sass really needed to stop, at some point. I have a copy of Rosie Dunne that I'm pondering -- keep, get rid of? I think P. S. I Love You was good enough to give her one more chance.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-80059094487786838982011-01-25T22:09:57.961-06:002011-01-25T22:09:57.961-06:00This book sounds good.

Maybe one day I will try her again. I had thought maybe this book, but I will probably pass.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-18435809394805381222011-01-25T21:41:40.652-06:002011-01-25T21:41:40.652-06:00Susan,

The last thing I want to do is skewer somebody who worked hard at telling a story. <br /><br />Yep, I thought about that, too -- reading the book wasn't a total waste because I learned a little something about what not to do when writing.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-20721608775514517722011-01-25T21:21:01.127-06:002011-01-25T21:21:01.127-06:00For a not-positive review, you did an amazing job ...For a not-positive review, you did an amazing job of finding good things to say about it, and being fair. That was lovely to see. I still might look for this book, just to see how not-good it is, and the errors in the writing - as a writer, sometimes these are good to see, too.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-70681247423528407742011-01-25T17:40:42.796-06:002011-01-25T17:40:42.796-06:00Kathy,

I haven't written fiction in a long time, but The Book of Tomorrow reminded me of a few things to pay attention to. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-28647633026040295852011-01-25T12:07:35.765-06:002011-01-25T12:07:35.765-06:00I usually enjoy Cecelia Ahern's books (except ...I usually enjoy Cecelia Ahern's books (except for The Gift), but this one sounds like one I'll pass on.
