Looks like a pretty good week all the way around. Nice review of The Bookstore, it’s nice to see a bookstore as a setting and I can just imagine an urban bookstore with a name like The Owl- sounds pretty good to me. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your perspective on The Bookstore. I didn’t enjoy it as much as you because of the relationship angle in it ((I didn’t like the boyfriend). It’s interesting to hear others’ opinions 🙂
Congrats on your blogoversary–that’s a great stretch of years! Have a Happy Easter and hope you have a good week reading.

Thanks for the congrats, Rita…I almost feel guilty celebrating SIX years, since I didn’t really figure out how to connect to others that whole first year…LOL.
I absolutely DETESTED the boyfriend in The Bookstore, and if I hadn’t liked other parts of the story, might have stopped reading. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your week.

Enjoy your new books! I see The Collector in a lot of people’s book hauls this week. I’m waiting for the library to order it — I’m surprised they haven’t ordered it yet, but I guess finances are tight due to all the budget cuts.

Yes, it is very sad that libraries are always so strapped. I think of the 1970s here in California, however, when libraries closed down for large portions of the days. I am glad to find them open during much of the week these days. Enjoy your reading, and thanks for visiting, Lark.
