About my library"My Library" = "Books I've Read"
I haven't distinguished between owned and borrowed.

Also haven't distinguished between the books I chose/read willingly and the "popular" books I read to stay on top of things during my years as a bookseller and a library clerk. Perhaps I should.

"Words are so friendly, so accommodating, so loosely adaptable, not like numbers, with their tiresome insistence on meaning only what they mean and nothing more."
- John Banville, The Infinities.

Thanks jbvn -- I did think the book was a disappointment. What did you think of [If You Follow Me]?
Hi,

Either Theowhite read the actual book or he's married to the author. LOL

It was lousy. My review will certainly agree with yours, read it if you have time, I tried to make it funny.

I think it's actually the worst I"ve read in a very long time. The publicist who sent it knew I liked literary fiction and somehow that's what he thought this was.

Take care!

Hi,

Just wanted to compliment you on your honest and on-point review of The Season of Second Chances. I'm finishing it and it's been a struggle. I've never seen such a string of fortuitous coincidences in a novel that wasn't a chapter book!

And seriously, Teddy? What the heck? He sounds like a human golden retriever.

Of course, I'll water my opinions down a tiny bit for my review, but loved that yours was so refreshingly real.

I think I will suggest that a Restoration Hardware catalog be included with each purchase, and page numbers "literally" added, LOL.
