Vicki’s comments from the Challenge Corner group.

Perfect! Thank you! :)

I tried looking at our scheduled buddy reads but can’t see ANY on my phone. Can you tell me what we are supposed to be reading after this one?

I know you’re less “generous” with your ratings. Or I rate them too highly! But it’s all opinion and enjoying (or not) what we read.

Btw I had a feeling you wouldn’t be too much into this one. Honestly there isn’t much action but I really got into Rosie and Walter’s relationship. lol I am thinking about changing my five star rating to four stars because I’m not so sure it’s really worth five stars but that’s how I felt at the moment. Lol

I was going to post last night but my daughter and granddaughter came over. I’m watching Lily & Juju so not sure how much I’ll get posted but this is at 75%

Through Chapter 22

(view spoiler)[I’m really liking the budding romance between Max and Rosie. I love Esme and think she’s a really good friend. I’m glad that Rosie finally wrote the letter to Xander but I wonder if he will actually get it and see it. I definitely don’t think they belong together. (hide spoiler)]

Might not be able to post my final one till tonight. I can’t read yours yet since I’m on my phone. I wish they’d fix that!

Through Ch. 15

I was upset that (view spoiler)[Vivian had lied about the family wanting Walter but hoping she had a real good reason. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Nobody better mistreat Walter. Jeez! I can't stand racists and someone said they weren't racist? I forgot who but it sure sounds like they are. (hide spoiler)]

I was also surprised to find out that (view spoiler)[nobody is related in the way Vivian said. Grrr (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 8

Walter (view spoiler)[poor little guy has been through so much in his four young years. I hope all goes well in Australia. (hide spoiler)]

Rose (view spoiler)[is absolutely going to fall in love with Walter, especially after the loss of her own baby. That's a hard one to deal with.

Vivian (view spoiler)[is such a loving and caring pseudo mom for Walter. I am so sad about her cancer. (hide spoiler)]

Xander (view spoiler)[he might be telling the truth about his father since Rose believed him, but I think there's a lot more to the story. I want to know what! I don't like him as of yet. (hide spoiler)]

I'll be watching my grandkids again today so might not get anymore or much more read until after I get home. That won't be until this afternoon anytime between 3-5.

I'm really liking this one but it IS historical fiction so I usually do! lol (hide spoiler)]

Hi Mia and welcome! :)

Based on other comments above I don't think any of us thought that would happen. I'm glad you liked it :)

I just read this one back in December and I loved it! I hope you all enjoy it too!

Finished

(view spoiler)[I didn't want to see Hawthorne end up like that! I really didn't like him to begin with but he grew on me. (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 40

(view spoiler)[ The band...ugh! I kept wondering why this book doesn't also have MPG Music because there's been talk about throughout - her guitar, the band, singing, wanting to make a record, etc. I could've used this for an MPG Music challenge. lol (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 30

(view spoiler)[I thought it was so strange how the forest talks to her and all, but at least now I get it. It helped me at least understand why which helps. (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 20

(view spoiler)[ That was pretty intense when she saw Ewan and the Wood King wanted Emeline to become his minstrel, especially after finding out that she could lose her life for missing a note and other such absurd reasons. (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 10

(view spoiler)[I was so worried about her grandfather, Ewan. Awful to hurt someone who's totally unable to hurt them. (hide spoiler)]

Finished and I loved it! (view spoiler)[I thought Eva was so gutsy and the book they created took on a life of its own. I'm glad that if anyone had to die, it wasn't her father. (hide spoiler)]

awe, I love that he left her a message. I hope he's okay

interesting that Gerard is dating Genevieve. he seems slimy - I hope he ends up being a good guy but I'm not feeling it

a..."

Her mother is definitely (view spoiler)[ clueless! Worried about putting money away for college? I would think when people don't have enough food one would be grateful for any salary! I agree about Gerard and it seems his mom is mostly into his good looks! (hide spoiler)]
