SOMETHING BLUE

I read Something Blue because I needed something light and superficial after reading Here on Earth

and it turned out to be exactly that. 

Darcy annoys the (insert 4 letter word here) out of me. 

I remember really enjoying Something Borrowed which is the prequel to Something Blue.
But that was something like 5 years ago
so who knows what my thoughts would be on that book
if I picked it up again today.

WILDFLOWER HILL

When I really enjoy a book I think it is best to simply recommend it 

and let you experience the adventure for yourself.

So that's just it for this book.

Read it.

THE GUERNSEY LITERARY & POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY

Although this title is long and complicated,

 the book, on the other hand, is not.

As the book is written in letter correspondence only, 

there are a lot of gaps left to the imagination. 

But I suppose I'm a sucker for layers of description 

so this book just wasn't for me.

Memorable Quotes:

"Word of God or crowd control???" 
Kindle Loc. 170-71

"That's what I love about reading: 
one tiny thing will interest you in a book, 
and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, 
and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. 
It's geometrically progressive- all with no end in sight, 
and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment."
