Hey - I just read State of Wonder. Let's talk about it sometime. Also, now that my blog is up and going some, I've been using google analytics, which you showed me how to do - YAY!
Oops, that comment published as The Crabby Hiker - that blog is NOT up and going.
Which blog are you reactivating cadh8?
Not me. It's AnneGG I think. But she posted as the crabby hiker. But let's all do a state of wonder break down some time. Oh and I have read some books by the other Bronte sisters this year. Have you guys ever read those? I recommend Agnes Grey.
OK. Let's talk about State of Wonder, which I read as my first book of 2012 and so I will have to review it.
I will have to get hold of Agnes Grey.
Oh my. Cadh8 and brd have read State of Wonder. We do definitely need to talk. I do also want a more in-depth review of Agnes Grey - since the Brontes are crazy, I want some grounding before I read :-)
Yes, we need to talk about Agnes Grey and State of Wonder. Both interesting books. I think that Jeff Says I Can't author read Agnes Grey also. I am going to listen to The Professor by Charlotte Bronte while I drive to Altoona this weekend. I never even heard of that one until yesterday.
