    SORRY, I NEGLECTED TO MENTION 'EINSTEIN´S DREAMS', A BOOK THAT BENDS MY SENCE OF WHAT REALITY IS, BY CHANGING THE RULES OF TIME. I RECOMMEND IT.

    Mimi, thank you so much! It came in the mail yesterday. And can I tell you I was actually in desperate need of a bookmark? I love the Japanese theme as well.

    Again, thanks! :)

    Hi! Do you have any objections to be promoting a book giveaway contest I am doing on my book blog next week in the Bibliophiles group? I just want to do a single post and let people know about the 20 or so books I have up for grabs in a contest I will be running. I figured I'd ask before doing anything since you're the lead admin in the group.

    Thanks!

    Hi! There was a new member "Best Books..." post up random things that I couldn't understand how they added to discussions and a member had actually posted they were frustrated with those posts so I deleted them. I can't find somewhere on that person's page to let them know but I figured I'd give you a heads up.

    My semester should be a little lighter next semester so I hope I can help again with post up discussion questions. I've tried to be around as much as my schedule permits though. Thanks for being understanding and not kicking me off the admin team. :)

    Hey Mimi! I see your planning on reading 'Sisters Red'. I just finished it. I thought it was a very intresting take on the whole little red ridinghood thing. Very cute! I love a book with a kickass female lead!

    Mimi, I thought the relationship was incestuous too,then I just thought it was odd.
    I forgot his name too,he was wierd throughout the entire book,for me anyway!
    I also thought that the kids were his too,especially since his wife had such scorn for Eliza. I also thought the cottage was their rendezvous place too. That is why I thought the wall went up,they were found out.But all was explained.
    I have to say I tried not to solve things as I went,but I did anyway and I was wrong on all counts! I was hoping Eliza survived and was sad to know she had been buried in the cottage garden.So sad.Kate Morton writes quite a tale, I will giver her that!
    have you read Woman in White by Wilkie Collins? That is good. I love them both,they are different mysteries. But the Uncle in Collins book reminded me of Georgianna's brother. I do family history and I was confused with the family lines in Forgotten Garden! :) I also had to "re-group" at the beginning of each chapter with the date/place and person change. I don't know how else it could be written, I am no expert,but I found that confusing at times. I plan to read her other books,do you?
    I was glad that Cassie was going to stay at the cottage,that felt like a good ending. I know the ending was not to your liking. I couldn't wait for the end and yet I hated to see the story end.Not many books have "grabbed" me like that. Shellseekers by Rosamonde Pilcher did that to me. Hated to see the book end.
    I hope you enjoy your next book! What are you reading?

    Mimi,ok, I agree with you! That bothered me too. But, I felt Nell softened up and concentrated on Cassie when she was abandoned by her Mother Lindsay. That is how I processed it,anyway. I am not adopted either,my best friend is and she did not close up like that,she was an excellent mother. I can identify with Cassie as my mother walked out when I was a kid. So I understood the grandmother/grandddaughter connection.I am actually writing my Gran's story since I followed her early life trail.I identified with Cassie! I agree,I had a hard time with Nell's lack of emotions for family,they were always her family regardles of how she came to them.

    Hey Mimi! Hope you are well. I'm about to send you my suggestions for August :] & while on your page I noticed your reading 'Evermore'. I hope you like it. I LOVED it! It was so romantic & a good mystery. Sadly I contiuned with the series all the way through 'Dark Flame' and notice I said sadly :[ It just wasn't my cup of tea but I hope you'll like it. & if your wondering why I continued reading a series I obviously don't like.... I loved 'Evermore' sooo much I just keep hoping the "magic" will happen again.

    So far so good - I didn't get very far into it before Alex absconded with it - I'm reading "The Girl who Kicked a Hornet's Nest" now...I'll go back to Lincoln when Alex is done with it. Have you read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"?

    Hey, I noticed that the discussion questions for "My Life in France" have not been posted. I was wondering if you needed help with this one. I have not read the book but I found a website that has some questions.
