doing a little reading
when you spend three days in an airport mostly with a five month old who sleeps off and on for a couple of hours.... i found that i got through my book rather quickly. much quicker than at home, funny that. well, i finished it really with the thought that i was excited to see the movie. i think perhaps it will be a better movie than book but that being said, it was a good book. not fabulous. not a page turner, at times a bit confusing.... but good. i'm glad i read it. i know there are those out there that probably loved it since i have seen it on top book lists..... but not on my top favorites but not on my "waste of time" list either. 
this was a quick read. entertaining.... interesting premise... but it more just passed the time while sitting on the beach on the one day i got to go this summer. i liked her mode of story telling and the characters were slightly interesting.... but not a compelling love story. it made time traveller's wife much more appealing. i read that there is a sequel. i am mildly interested in reading it.
the fourth book in the series.... i love them. i wish i had brought the 5th book to read while here. but it gives me something to try and finish in september.

Meant to tell you that I read the series 9 yrs in a row to 2nd graders. They are the best! So glad you're reading them. Plum Creek is probably my favorite but they're all good. The Long Winter is a bit much. I froze through the whole book. But it's good. Love to you, Aunt Mary Lu
