I finished reading The Secret Life of Bees this morning and was satisfied with the book. I was glad I read it and found it a bit better than The Mermaid Chair. Neither of Sue Monk Kidd's books left me with any kind of lasting impression, so I wouldn't pick up another book of hers. It was a decent read, good moral, and a happy ending...but there's something about her that I don't quite love. I have heard raving reviews about this book, but it didn't live up to all my expectations of it being a fabulous story.
Up next is Good In Bed...a book that I borrowed from Ashley ages ago...and still haven't read!

Damn, how many blogs do you have, baby??
Too many Dyck! You want one!
I liked Good in Bed. It was the first book by Jennifer Weiner that I read and I thought it was cute. unfortunatley I think all her other books are about the same so that was disappointing.
Sarah and I have had this conversation. I read In Her Shoes first and liked that one the best. Good in bed is a fun read, though.
They had a book by her at IKEA on a bookshelf. It was in Swedish and I couldn't even figure out which book it was. The cover was completely nondescript.
I don't know too many people who have read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's 'The Shadow of the Wind.' I LOVED that book. So much that I eBayed myself a copy of the publisher's illustrated edition from Britain last year. (Did I just turn eBay into a verb?)
Nice blog.

It's true...I am irresistable...and not just good in bed...but...!
I was so so with The Mermaid Chair. I read it after The Glass Castle, and after reading that, it just fell short. I told my mom about it and she said she had watched the movie on Lifetime. Doesn't that say enough?
Jenny,
Made my day!
Which blog is the fastest?
Yours sincerely,
Scrobs...Oh, all right then, we haven't met yet, SCROBLENE!
