I’m not quite sure what to think about this book. It’s a good idea for a novel, it’s interesting to explore, and yet … the most interesting parts of the book are the clothing descriptions and the sex scenes. Everyone is so massively irritating and the main characters seem kind of two-dimensional. I don’t know. It kept me reading until the very end, but I think it was because I wanted to find out if anything ever happened.

I decided to re-read this and see if I liked it any better the second time around. Answer: not really. It feels like a Sayers wannabe attempt, and too many obvious references to other books. I don’t know … it’s a crude imitation of the original. Decent enough story, but it made me so impatient, and that’s something that doesn’t happen with the other Wimsey books.

A new Jane Jeffry mystery. Same sort of format and writing, but still good. A nice “soak in the tub” read.

Eh.

Double eh.

Cute enough, but I wish my problems in life could be solved with the man of my dreams miraculously falling in love with me, having the money for a glamorous makeover, and exercising myself to death. Whee!

(Eh.)

Updated to add: I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and cried after the tornado.

Adelle loaned me this book. So far it’s good. It’s always interesting to me to read books with Southern characters, just to see how we all come across. ;)

Simple, straightforward talking. I like that in a book.

I bought this book today and began reading it while waiting for a haircut. It’s part of my “I need to start thinking and studying again” initiative.

It was a gift, but it’s actually an interesting read. I’m getting excited!

I call books like these “gentle” books. They’re just so relaxing to the brain because they’re good, simple stories.

Fun, but not as smooth as I expected … at first. Actually, I have no idea what I really had in mind but this book still surprised me. It was good, though!
