Your first book by Amy? Wow! Try or

I understand what you mean about the chemistry. I was okay with that though.

Okay, that's cool, Laura. I thought I was all alone. lol

Finished

I'm sorry I haven't gotten my comments on here earlier but I had to do my reading for various challenges and comments when I had time. But I don't think it matters because I don't think anyone is reading my comments anyway...is anyone?

I love how Annie was loved her grandpa so much and got the opportunity to really learn about him and her family. There was so much he hadn't told her and I loved watching it unfold. Such an opportunity to learn about all that she did in the way she did.

I loved this one just like all of Am's books. :)

Normally I don't care too much for time travel because it sometimes confuses me. I was listening to the audio version of this one for a while but I was again a little confused with Anne and Anne.

Thomas (view spoiler)[recognized Annie as not being the same Anne (hide spoiler)] which I really like because it shows how he pays attention to detail. Like when he said (view spoiler)[she didn't have that gap between her teeth, and as any man would he noticed how she looked at him and "Declan's Anne would never look at him like that." (hide spoiler)] I was glad when he said all that so that I knew he knew.

I don't know what it is about Amy Harmon, but for me she just can't go wrong. I love how the story starts off with Annie and her grandfather talking about some family history. It reminds me so much of myself with my grandparents and my children with my parents. We sometimes just don't learn enough while we can.

I'm not super familiar with Irish history, but I'm enjoying reading this one so far.

I find it interesting that her grandpa said the reason no one ever smiled in photos is to appear sophisticated, or something to that effect.

I've read several books recently where a mother or other adult family member starts off the book with having cancer. It's so sad, but her grandpa seems like he's had a nice, long life.

I also love the use of a "history book/journal" to learn about Annie's family's history.

Amy is a class 1 author: humble, down-to-earth, flexible with her writing genres (loved ) and she's one of my very favorites. I'm going to read this one today and hope that I can disagree with some of your comments. LOL I hate it when a favorite of mine doesn't meet my expectations, but I don't think anyone can hit it 100% of the time. Hopefully I'll like it better than others in this thread. :)

Amy Harmon is definitely one of my favorite authors! She’s amazing! I’ll be joining in on this BR!

Thanks, Tina, maybe I'll bow out then. I have a lot of active challenges and this one just ever really seemed to flow for us, or at least not for me. I think it's time to move on. Enjoy if you keep playing. :)

This isn't over is it??

Okay, I feel totally lost right now but I'd like to continue as well. What should I be reading now?

Thanks Laura and Brooke. :)

Would anyone mind if I butt in and buddy up with you?

Are we (is anyone) still doing this challenge?

Are we allowed to repeat a task with different books or may each task only be used once?
