Scary!
I know how you feel...Madame Bovary, huh? Scary! <br /><br />I know how you feel about reading at snail's pace. I can't remember the last book I finished--I guess Animal Farm at the end of August? I had really hoped to do some major damage on Brothers K and finish it this week, but I'm not sure that will happen. Can't wait to finish that beast!<br /><br />Hope you're having (had) a really lovely weekend.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-83951975475287124992010-09-26T21:56:32.779-04:002010-09-26T21:56:32.779-04:00Amy - LOL!

Iris - I...Amy - LOL! Isn't the cover gorgeous?<br /><br />Iris - I'm so glad you'll be reading along with Madame Bovary! What I need to do is turn off my computer for a couple of days and just finish Cutting for Stone. My mother loved it, and she tells me I haven't even gotten to the really good part yet.<br /><br />Amanda - You're welcome... the new blog looks great!<br /><br />Staci - I didn't get nearly as much reading in as I'd hoped, but still had a perfect fall day. Hope you did, too.<br /><br />C.B. James - My tbr pile is loaded with really long books these days. I have to get away from the need to finish a book every week and just read them! <br /><br />Gavin - Cutting for Stone would have been a perfect vacation book. I would love to sit and read it all day. Hope you like it, too!<br /><br />DS - Bleak House is wonderful! I love Dicken's characters and I think he does, too! Can't wait to get started on Madame Bovary. Hope all is well with you.<br /><br />Diane - I'm glad you like the new fall theme! Have a great week.<br /><br />Stephanie - I have so many chunksters on my tbr pile that I may need to dedicate a year solely to reading them!<br /><br />Lisa - Aw, I'm sorry you won't be able to read Bleak House with us. I think you'll like it when you do get to it though.<br /><br />Florinda - I just found your review of the Irreistible Henry House and now can't wait to read it. Thanks for letting me know!<br /><br />Molly - The leaves are finally starting to change and it is so beautiful right now. We're hoping to take a ride into the Adirondack Mountains next week when the leaves are peaking. Hopefully, I'll get some reading in too!<br /><br />Sandy - I hope you can make time for Cutting for Stone... and I hope I can make time to finally finish it!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-7716062145871302712010-09-26T19:53:47.507-04:002010-09-26T19:53:47.507-04:00This is reading to be proud of!
