We've got too much else going on (like everything in the house trying to break at once).Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-55953721307028030292010-04-21T20:45:53.814-05:002010-04-21T20:45:53.814-05:00Not sure I actually wrote a review.

I'm not daunted by the size of the series, but I guess that's because I figure I'll only read one occasionally -- I would never try to barrel straight through the entire series. I'll have to go look up your review of the second book. <br /><br />Shari,<br /><br />VERY large series. It's kind of startling how far she's been able to take a single series (and rather cool). <br /><br />Amy,<br /><br />Me either. But, I do like the idea of following a family through history and found myself completely immersed in this family's lives, so I have no qualms about continuing on.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-33063691597848765162010-04-21T13:50:29.917-05:002010-04-21T13:50:29.917-05:00I'm not a huge fan of series but this is reall...I'm not a huge fan of series but this is really high praise indeed.

I hope you enjoy The Founding as much as I did, when you get to it! Sounds like it's good timing for this review for you, eh? :)<br /><br />Connie,<br /><br />I think it would make an excellent beach book if you read fast enough -- it's nice and meaty.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-82483482838085650972010-04-20T21:18:11.523-05:002010-04-20T21:18:11.523-05:00I'm putting this on my beach book list for thi...I'm putting this on my beach book list for this year. I know it's not a traditional beach book--but there's something so decadent about the idea of this one that I can't help it.

I must be way overdue for a dose of Historical Fiction - it seems to be the majority of what I'm adding to my TBR list lately.<br /><br />Thanks for finding this series. I'm definitely going to read this one!!SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-18477001564225204972010-04-20T13:15:12.053-05:002010-04-20T13:15:12.053-05:00It certainly is!It certainly is!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-72782994263995799442010-04-20T12:21:07.829-05:002010-04-20T12:21:07.829-05:00Holy cow, that is a huge series!Holy cow, that is a huge series!bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50160017905475740542010-04-20T12:15:36.495-05:002010-04-20T12:15:36.495-05:00Krista,
