Melanie: I keep hearing mixed reviews on this book – which makes me nervous! I just hope I’m with the ones who liked it!

I’ll be interested to hear what you think of The Story Sisters. I’ve read all of Hoffman’s books but must say I didn’t like this one at all.

Frances: I don’t subscribe to Hoffman’s website, but you have tempted me!

Gavin: I am a little nervous about Sea of Poppies – it is getting some wildly mixed reviews and sounds like the language of the novel is tough going…so we’ll see. I’m keeping an open mind

Lisa: My review of Beach Trip is up…I really enjoyed Down River…hope you will too!

Debbie: You sound like me *laughs* It isn’t like I need more books…

Eva: I agree – reading should be fun!

Nicola: Good to hear you enjoy Laura Lippman…I’m just about done with the book and I really am liking her style! Looks like we have some books in common Two weeks ago I only got one book – this week NINE showed up … I should really track my requests as half the time I don’t even remember what I’ve asked for or said “yes” too *laughing*

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher was so good! Glad you loved it too.

Laura Lippman – I’ve read two so far, neither one you’re reading but she is definitely a new author for me that I am interested in reading more. Though I think I’ll concentrate on her standalones rather than her series.

Can’t wait to see your review on The Little Stranger and I too have The Story Sisters here to review which looks like it’s going to be good and will actually be my first foray into Hoffman so I’ll look forward to seeing what you think of that as well.

Can’t wait to see what you got in your mailbox last week. It was very quiet over here, mailwise.

I want to read Frenchman’s Creek! I just read a thriller myself; I think it’s good to read things just for the fun of it.

I’ve been on a book buying frenzy myself last week. I came home from a trip to Dallas with two books. Waiting for me at home were four books from Amazon. Then I bought one more for my Kindle! Jeepers!

I reviewed The Last Child a few weeks ago! I hope you like it as much as I did! I also have Down River but haven’t read it yet. I look forward to your thoughts on The Beach Trip, as I had my blog stop a few weeks ago. As always, you’ve got some great books to read! Happy Sunday!

Now I have to move “Mr. Whicher” to the top of my stack. I can’t wait to see what you think of “Sea of Poppies”.

I envy you that copy of the new Alice Hoffman. I love her books and have looked forward to this one as much as the new A.S. Byatt. Do you subscribe to her website? I have been receiving stories from the books and little snippets here and there for months. Such a tease! Maybe I could sneak out to the book store today…? Happy reading on the porch!

Gautami: Can’t have itchy palms – must go shopping

Lisa: *laughs* I KNOW there are dozens of amazing books on my shelves calling to me. Sometimes I wish I could have 3 straight months of nothing to do but read…but even then, I don’t think I’d get to all of them!

Kathy: I really liked Beach Trip – it is pure comfort reading…perfect for summer.

Molly: I have been having a productive month of reading! I have spent the last two hours reading blogs…*laughs*…the laundry is screaming at me!

Jenny: I am eager to read The Little Stranger – I love Waters!

Amanda: Oh, I think you’ll enjoy Fingersmith – it is a terrific book!
