I'm definitely going to be checking this one out from the library at some point. Isn't it great when you find a great book and you aren't expecting it??

Just in case, I am a french woman living in Paris. I am writing a blog about my readings, the movies I liked and some other subjects and I am trying to improve my english by reading several blogs (+ Books, + Newspaper, ...) in English, and guess what, your blog is on my netvibes page!!!

Thanks for reminding me about it. Maybe I'll try and get a copy at the library this week. I heard some buzz about this book last year and added it to my list but never got around to reading it.

Serena - I immediately thought about the challenge when I picked this one up. Beth F. - A perfect book for Swapna's challenge. I do hope you read it. Amy - The cover art is beautiful. Becky - Oh yay! I'm going to go back and look for your review right now. I missed it. Rasco - Oh good. That's my job, right? Swapna - You're welcome! Becky - I *think* I have Homeless Bird on my shelf right now. I'm going to have to check. Jenn M. - That's what I love about book clubs. They always introduce me to books that I would have missed. Trish - If I look at the back cover it's usually to only read the first sentence. I'll go back after I've read the book to see how the publisher interpreted the book compared to how I thought it was. I like to also know as little as possible about a book but just enough to know if it's the type of book that I'd enjoy or not. So same thing with bloggers summaries - I'll skim quickly glossing over the details or read just the first couple of sentences. Word Lily – For the perspective alone, it’s a great book.

I rarely read them--and I actually don't like reading bloggers' summaries either. I like going into books knowing as little as possible about the actual book--I just want to know what the person thought. Anyway... I love the cover of this book!

The setting & theme remind me a little of the YA novel Homeless Bird. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks for sharing your review, and it was good seeing you the other night! :) Sounds really good! The setting & theme remind me a little of the YA novel Homeless Bird.
