I'm curious about # 187. I've stayed away because froma distance I don't think i'd like it. What say you?

I think everyone else liked it. For me, there were a couple of things I can never tolerate. Chapters 1-8 interesting.... Chapter 9.....NO*456677

I had to click on it in order to read what it said. Clever. We always had cats and dogs as pets growing up but my husband is allergic. But my one daughter has a cat so I get my purring there.

OMG! I am brain dead after reading 3 Wells books.


message 138: by Sheila (new)

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1321 comments I never did get that third volume and read it...some day.

Great progress on your part. Sometimes I think we should count pages read rather than the number of books.

Debbie (dmbrown) | 1246 comments Jeanne, it cracks me up to see your high ratings for the Memory books-- As well-written as they are, I know I would deduct stars for their absurd length if I were reading them for the first time now. They are among my earliest JAFF reads, which is why I rate them so highly and can't make myself re-rate them lower. Leslie clearly doesn't have that problem, as you have noticed!


message 140: by J. W. (new)

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1376 comments Yeah... I know... It was a real conflict trying to rate with the stars. I mean... the writing was great and if I took a magnifying glass and looked at this in sections... high stars... but over all.... it was exhausting. This could have easily been 6 books... or more... but were compressed into 3-books. That is the way it felt. Too much information in too short a space. We would call that overcrowding if we were looking at an apartment complex. Maybe she will redo them at a later time. Probably not. Thanks for commenting guys and encouraging me.


message 142: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (dmbrown) | 1246 comments I need to get to that one! Really enjoyed the first 3 in this series, and I look forward to reading more about Mr. Tanner and his relationship with Darcy.

Definitely a 'well done' is in order, Jeanne. You read a pile. :)
