... me by Marisa de los Santos. This book was good but I felt like it had too much of a happy ending. If I had to pick between Love Walked In or Belong to Me, I would have to go with Love Walked In. Halfway through: 8.) Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie

spacepotatoes in 50 Book Challenge : my book list (Nov 9, 2009, 10:37am)

Love Walked In has come highly recommended by a couple of friends, and it sounds like you really enjoyed it too! I'll have to move it up a few notches on the TBR.

kateburns in 50 Book Challenge : kate's 50 book challenge starting...now (Oct 28, 2009, 10:39am)

Just finished Love Walked In last night! What a great book. It definitely is a book that made me want to curl up on a rainy day and read straight through. Perfect timing too because it's been raining these past few days. Next on my list: 6.) The Other Bolyen Girl by Philippa Gregory This ...

bonniebooks in 50 Book Challenge : kate's 50 book challenge starting...now (Oct 26, 2009, 9:16pm)

I read Love Walked In one rainy Saturday morning when I had a really bad cold and I just wanted to stay in bed curled up with a fun, easy read. Santos's book was great for that.

readreview in What Are You Reading Now? : Books Brought Home - October 2009 (Oct 16, 2009, 12:47pm)

Recently purchased Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos. I read her first novel Love Walked In a while ago, thought it was a sweet winter read. Winter's around the corner again so the sequel is on my TBR pile.

... thoughts about Gilead here on LT but I quite enjoyed it and have put Home on my TBR list. My sister in law loaned my Love walked in but I haven't gotten around to it yet, sounds like good summer reading.

... it was OK but not great. I had heard the author speak on a radio program and thought it sounded good. I have a copy of Love Walked in and after reading Belong to Me I have moved it to the bottom of the TBR pile. If I had a long plane trip planned I might dig it out but otherwise not ...

#92 - Glad to hear that Belong to Me is "un-put-downable" I just finished Love Walked In and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm looking for to reading the sequel.

Louanne in 50 Book Challenge : On the way to 50 (May 30, 2009, 8:15am)

Book #21. Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos A satisfying, light read. I liked the author's writing style. Right from the first page, I loved her way with words: 'My life-my real life- started when a man walked into it, a handsome stranger in a perfectly cut suit, and yes, I know ...

On a work trip this week and was able to read Resurrection by Tucker Malarkey on the plane. Now I'm on to Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos but if I finish it I won't have anything for the plane ride home. Maybe I need to find a good bookstore........ Anyone know a great shop in ...

#16 - Love Walked In - This is a reread of one of my favorite books. I could have finished in one day but was trying to finish closer to my book club meeting. Upon second reading, I still really like this book. I love Clare and her lists and her fondness for orphans. I love Cornelia and her ...

Jac8604 in Girlybooks : What Books by Women are You Reading Now? February 2009 (Feb 14, 2009, 3:57pm)

Sorry to hear that about Disquiet, I've been looking forward to reading that one. I'm about 54 pages into Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos. So far it's pretty good and a smooth, easy read.

greeneyed_ives in BookMooching : Chick-Lit? (Feb 8, 2009, 3:32pm)

Chick lit is kind of my guilty pleasure. I personally would recommend Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos. It's a really touching novel and I thought it had pretty strong female characters. I would also recommend Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood though some may argue that the novel isn' ...

nicovin in Girlybooks : Valentine's Day thread : Best Love Stories Written by Women (Feb 7, 2009, 1:05pm)

These are such good and interesting choices so far. I love Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. One for its lighthearted and vibrant love story and the other for its passionate and unending love despite, well, time travel and the problems ...

... months this year and it didn't work out. One of the books I attempted to read and I utterly hated was Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos. I'm sure it has some redeeming social value, but when I read a book, I want to read about characters that take me away and outside of my life ...

avisannschild in 888 Challenge : avisannschild's 888 (Nov 7, 2008, 3:35pm)

... review here. I loved Love Walked In! It's very much a fairytale for grownups (so not super realistic, plot-wise), but the characters are great. I highly recommend it.

vickylondon in Big Smile : Who is your favorite author? (Oct 7, 2008, 8:22pm)

My favorite author changes somewhat frequently. Right now I would say my favorite is Marisa de los Santos. Her books really resonate with me on an emotional level.

greeneyed_ives in 50 Book Challenge : Kasummey's 50 book challenge (Oct 4, 2008, 6:29pm)

So I absolutely loved Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos. The characters were warm and human, and the story was touching while at the same time humorous. I especially loved the multiple references to classic movies, since I'm a huge movie buff myself. There a few minor plot issues (some ...

... to the memoir. Still, I recommended to my parents and will be interested to see what they think (3 stars). Just started Love Walked In: A Novel by Marisa de los Santos which was recommended to me by my mom. So far, so good. I'm especially enjoying the various film references.
