Sometimes it seemed like it lapsed into stream of consciousness, run-on sentence sort of storytelling that kind of left me in the dust. And I kind of hate when I feel like books are going "over my head." I also had some trouble relating to the main character, but I did appreciate her actual explanation of "the best place to be."

Take Kim Harrison for example, when I first joined an online reading group they were reading the third book in that series and I didn't know it. I read that book and HATED it. 2 years later I re-read it properly, in order and loved it. I've bought every book she's written since then.

Shake the Salt sent me! I love books too...I love that you have reviews of kid's books here... I'm getting behind and my kids are reading sooooo many these days! I see a couple of seriously my mostest favoritest books on your shelf on the left there. LOVED Balzac and the little chinese Seamstress..I even found the movie (not great) AND!!! I loved girl with the Pearl Earring. Especially the opening scene where the girl is chopping veggies and placing them in rows by color...I totally do that, and even blogged about it. Hey there!
