Hey, I am interested in the "Taking Charge of your Fertility" one and the Fitzwilliam Darcy one. Those sound pretty interesting. Will you be giving your reviews on your blog?
Okay, Vanessa. I am most interested in WHERE you find the time!!! How do you do it? Please elaborate on THAT for me, so I can find some reading time too!
Oh, how I miss the Book Club!!! It was good while it lasted I suppose! I'm going to have to pick up some of these books! I can't wait for your reviews! Now-- I need your honest opinion on the Twilight books---I read the first chapter but the writing made me ill. But everyone I know from children to grandmas who reads farther than that can't put them down until they've read all three at which point they sigh about their love for Edward and wanting a vampire lover. As a as of now non-reader of the books I'm alittle bit afraid to end up that way... advice please!
I also read The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency and Twilight Series, and The Great Divorce. I'm a few pages shy of finishing Beowulf right now. Any suggestions on my next?
