Like you said, way too many good books out there to waste time on something that's not keeping me interested.<br /><br />I read THE PASSAGE and I enjoyed it overall. I'm not someone who shies away from a long book but even I thought it would've been better as two. Maybe a series instead of a trilogy?Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-74537921456642634472011-03-18T21:26:20.255-04:002011-03-18T21:26:20.255-04:00Are you one of those readers who sticks with a lou...Are you one of those readers who sticks with a lousy book to the bitter end, or do you give it a shot in the first twenty pages or so to hook you? I'm learning to be the latter; there are too many good books out there to be stuck in the middle of a bad one. I'm reading THE PASSAGE right now; it's had its moments, but it's l-o-n-g. So far, it's sort of holding my interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-2988878491693476042011-03-17T07:30:15.378-04:002011-03-17T07:30:15.378-04:00Thanks, Cathy!

Would love to read it, but guess we'll have to wait.<br /><br />Also, congrats on all your subbing. I expect to see publications soon!<br /><br />And finally, my rec: A Tale Dark and Grimm. I feel like I've already told you to read this because I'm always telling people how much I loved it. It's MG, I think, but no matter. If you've ever read a fairy tale and loved it, you MUST read this grim, Grimm tale. :-)Cathy C.

I've been surprised by the gems I've mined through my son's literature classes; so on the off chance you haven't read "Peace Like a River" by Leif Enger, it moved up to the top of my favorites list from junior year reading list. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is also good.<br />Let me know if you read either and what you think.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758737470750841665noreply@blogger.com
