I love unique reads. Hope you get to read it, soon! <br /><br />Yes, I do read an eclectic mix. I have a tendency to burn out if I focus on any particular genre for long, so I always try to mix things up to keep that from happening (again). :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-32363155495821902862013-08-08T04:34:12.690-05:002013-08-08T04:34:12.690-05:00I'm keen to read the Last Policement - I keep ...I'm keen to read the Last Policement - I keep reading good comments about it.

I'm usually very, very good at guessing what people will enjoy, based on what I know they liked and disliked in the past (one of the reasons my bookstore boss loved me) but you're one of those rare people I have trouble pegging. Still, there will likely be those few successes and the Anderson Cooper book was definitely a home run, wasn't it?Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-82210077059225915602013-08-06T20:34:18.976-05:002013-08-06T20:34:18.976-05:00Perplexing? ;) Well, we're not exactly reading...Perplexing? ;) Well, we're not exactly reading twins, but you did recommend Anderson Cooper's book, which I loved. And I'm sure there have been many more over the years.

It's such a well-written book and Caroline Leavitt's books absolutely grab and won't let go (at least, the two I've read). <br /><br />Gaiman's latest is getting such polarized reviews! I'm in the love category, of course. I'm iffy about his books -- some I love, some I just don't get. This one was, I thought, a deeply personal story wrapped in creepy fantasy. It was just as good the second time. I hope you love it as much as I did (both times - and will, again, I'm sure).Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-37891649663350724242013-08-06T19:22:09.675-05:002013-08-06T19:22:09.675-05:00I don't do that often, Jenny. Simon's boo...I don't do that often, Jenny. Simon's book just happens to have to many characters who touch each other's lives that I had a little trouble keeping track of them (which I hope is not an early sign of Alzheimer's -- I used to be a lot better at keeping those things straight in my head). It probably would have worked better to have little people bubbles instead, but whatever works, right? :) <br /><br />Thanks! It was a great month for me. I really enjoyed my reading (and the number was nice, too).

I see you've read it twice now. Must be pretty darned good! :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-31558137659830862562013-08-06T14:18:57.971-05:002013-08-06T14:18:57.971-05:00Good grief!
