In reply to Catherine. I for one would love to hear about a sailing book! Did you ever see the movie All is Lost with Robert Redford? So good. One line of dialogue and I was riveted.

In reply to Lauren. Agreed! It's so funny you would use the term "float your boat" because I just finished my review of a novel about sailing and while I adored it, it might not have the same impact on others.

I love these posts. Not because I relish the fact that some reads are letting you down, but the more we talk about it being ok not to connect with everything and feeling ok about moving on to something that really floats your boat, the more we all begin to hopefully feel more comfortable with it. I’m having trouble connecting with anything right now, but I really know it’s me, not them. I did just fly through Mary Kubica’s new one and she always keeps my pages turning.

In reply to Eva @ The Paperback Princess. Exactly! Buy a girl a drink first, right?

You know, I’ve been kind of a distracted reader over the past couple of weeks which probably means that I don’t love what I’m reading. I’ve read a couple of interesting nonfiction titles (related to some eating issues that I’m working on), and that’s been fine; I think I need a good kick in the fiction tail, though…or a better book – ha!

Ohhh that’s too bad about Small Bombs. Sounds like it reached a little too far without enough room to do any of the themes justice.

I really enjoy this feature on your blog, btw. 🙂

Ah this made me laugh. Getting around eh? I mean, if they aren’t doing it for you, they’re not doing it for you. It has to be mutually…satisfying right?

OK – I know it’s been forever, but I realized I never emailed with you about Small Bombs…there’s something I wanted to ask you about…actually, 2 things!

I like you’re “It’s Not You, It’s Me” posts. Mainly because it’s true, for most published works, there is an appreciative audience and sometimes that includes me/you and sometimes it does not! 🙂 I did add Country of Red Azaleas to my TBR, but I really don’t believe I want to tackle the subject matter of the other. I just finished reading The Color Purple and Room, two intense novels, all about abuse of females. I’m kinda fried at the moment and am grateful that children’s books await my attention now! 🙂
