[Candi]

Thanks to a very helpful librarian at the Library of Congress, I just finished Promise Me Tomorrow by Nora Roberts.

Should any one else be looking to read this book, good luck. Nora has not allowed this one to be re-published and has no plans to. However, you can buy a paperback version on Amazon for about $78.

Now, I'm reading The Welcoming by Nora and that will complete my personal goal of owning and reading every title published under Nora Roberts or J. D. Robb.

To be clear, I did not buy Promise Me Tomorrow....I have a reading card for the Library of Congress since I only live 3 miles from there.

So, what did you think of Promise Me Tomorrow?

I can understand why Nora once said in an interview it was the worst book she had ever written. It wasn't necessarily horrible, but it definitely wasn't up to her usual standards.

To be honest, after I read that interview, I almost didn't read it. But I wanted to reach that goal of reading everything she's published so far.
