Fingers crossed I actually finish a book, soon, so I can move on. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-32574082730162539312016-03-04T05:46:28.041-06:002016-03-04T05:46:28.041-06:00Most definitely.

Let me know when you decide to read it and maybe I'll pull it off my shelf and give it another read. BTW, if you rent the movie, be sure not to get the one that's been dubbed rather than captioned.

I'm pretty sure I had nothing else going on in my life in 1996 other than mowing 3 acres, cooking, cleaning and going to the gym. Like you, I feel like a complete bum if I spend any large amount of time reading during the day. My weekends are full, although I do look forward to the day when we're retired and I can spend a few hours reading in the middle of the day rather than the 20-30 minutes at night before I fall asleep.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30328141706908135742016-03-03T18:18:38.181-06:002016-03-03T18:18:38.181-06:00I'm glad you enjoyed it.

My reading time is right before bed. I feel like a complete bum if I read during the daytime, so I just don't.

I thought it was great and would you believe I read it in ONE day! Oh, for the days of being a SAHM. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-38554045219300733282016-03-03T16:53:43.053-06:002016-03-03T16:53:43.053-06:00Have fun!

I knew I had to be holding onto that book for some reason. ;)<br /><br />Yep, you have till March 5 and I'm pretty sure she said anything you consider weird is fine. So, if a fairy tale retelling seems weird to you, go for it. I think we all have different ways of interpreting the word "weird" in regard to books -- great that she's allowing it to be so broadly defined.

I wonder if fairy tale retellings are weird enough for this?Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.com
