Yay! Thank you so much for choosing this book, Gingerlily!!!I am SO pleased we'll be sharing this in the group!
Hope you all enjoy it - theres loads more in the series if you do. I am hoping to get some birthday vouchers and stock up on them.
Just bought it Gingerlily,looks interesting.Are you going to have a 'forum party'to let us celebrate your birthday with you,if so I will buy some raspberry vodka when I am out today?
Well I will be out most of the day tomorrow but we can certainly have a party in the evening in between the packing!
Oooh sounds like a good book, thanks Gingerlily x
Better get a bottle then.Will stick to one as we don''t want you being sick on the plane.
will download a sample I think, and also watch for reviews here, before I splash out. It is rather more than I like to spend unless I know the writer! I am happy to be guided by all of you though so I will part with my hard earned cash once I see what all of you have to say about it!!...talk about letting others take the risks for me, I am such a wimp!
12% in,Rather long introductions but what I have read so far has been both fun and touching.
Yeah, Ben Bova did go on a bit. I don't recall that being in my paperback copy. A few typos or formatting issues as well. I'll be emailing the publisher about them. I'm at 36%. Love it, love it, love it.
I've read the first two chapters this morning! Loving it so far. I skipped the introduction - if I'm interested enough after I've finished the book, I'll go back to it.

Just finished it and now I want to talk about it!!!!I love this book on so many levels. Okay, okay. I'll wait for the discussion and review thread to be opened...
The next book I read has a hard act to follow, is all I can say.
I'm finding myself dipping in and out of this so it is taking a while. We have a fireplace at the pheasant but ........
As each chapter is a stand alone story, it's a perfect book to dip in and out of.
Finished this book yesterday and really enjoyed it,a sort of fantasy 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'.The stories were full of puns and humour but still managed to restore my faith in human nature.Thought provoking and strangely comforting in turn with some real laugh out loud moments.Thanks for recommending it Gingerlily.
I'm so pleased you liked it, Sarah!
So am I - I was worried that no-one would like it
No worries GL, the book is it a bit like you. In the nicest possible way, witty, tough, thought provoking with an underlying goodness. (feel free to call me a creep but its true)
You have a gift of adjectives, Lynne.
Aw thats so sweet! I'll be smiling all day now!
I finished this last night! Loved it!

Yay!
Bit late to the ball here - I have just downloaded it - it's still October isn't it? As soon as I have finished 'Snuff' I shall read this.
Love Callahan!!! I've already read the entire series, so it's great to see others loving Callahan, too! So, what day is Punday...?
Every day on here Valerie! The humour on this site is just brilliant.Someone already compared us to Callahan's,I think it may have been Gingerlily or Patti.
I mentioned it weeks ago and at that time I think it was only Gingerlily who knew what I was talking about! It's so great that more people are reading it. Did you see Spider's email to me in the other Callahan thread, Valerie?
Yep, I'm still grinning.
NO... I missed it... where's the other Callahan thread? *running to go look*

That comparison stuck in my head when I was reading the book Patti,and I think it contributed to my enjoyment when reading it.
Not being distracted by an imminent holiday, Ginger took the time out to recommend Callahans Crosstime Saloon
