If you really enjoy chick-lit, then I would give it a try. If not, it appears as if the sequel, Belong to Me, still has some hope. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-39735064784137155972008-09-04T08:08:00.000-04:002008-09-04T08:08:00.000-04:00Oh I am so glad you read so much!!

Currently I am reading The Mindful Way through Depression and Redemption by Gary Smalley and Karen Kingsbury. I am enjoying both. I have 'a long way gone' on my list and I can't wait to read the book I bought instead of Love Walked In - it is a book by Merrill Marko 'It's My F...ing Birthday. I loved her walking in circles book.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great day. thank you so much for always thinking of me and stopping by!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-67077238888769916692008-09-03T20:05:00.000-04:002008-09-03T20:05:00.000-04:00Terri B ~ I hope you do, too!<B>Terri B</B> ~ I hope you do, too!Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-44448898229882936902008-09-03T18:01:00.000-04:002008-09-03T18:01:00.000-04:00I have this one on my TBR stack.

I'm going to give Belong to Me a try, but I'm not convinced that I'm going to like it. Unfortunately it's starting out with two strikes against it - chick lit and LWI.<BR/><BR/><B>Les</B> ~ I forgot that you read this. I just got back from rereading your review. We're sitting on opposite sides of the fence on this one, but yes, we're standing strong for Cody. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-55207621724013554532008-09-02T21:02:00.000-04:002008-09-02T21:02:00.000-04:00Oh, dear!

I doubt I'll give it another go but don't let that deter you-you may like it although I think it follows the same writing style, etc as the first one.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-56215052214598529392008-09-02T08:31:00.000-04:002008-09-02T08:31:00.000-04:00Eleanor ~ Thank you for your comment, Eleanor. I ...<B>Eleanor</B> ~ Thank you for your comment, Eleanor. I was really bummed that I didn't like this (LWI) and it's good to know that at least you weren't crazy about it either. I'll say this, I will continue with the sequel when I have a better attitude. :)<BR/><BR/><B>Ladytink_534</B> ~ Blah. Other chick lit fans may be enthralled with it. I usually have to stretch myself when reading chick lit, but this stretched me too thin!<BR/><BR/><B>Twiga92</B> ~ LOL You said a very simple statement, but a very true one indeed! :) An award!?! I'll stop by your blog soon.<BR/><BR/><B>Eileen</B> ~ Well, I actually thought the beginning was okay, so you can only imagine the rest! Geez, that sounds so mean. My intentions are not to be hurtful, but I didn't like it.<BR/><BR/><B>Trish</B> ~ It's not my type either.<BR/><BR/><B>Kay</B> ~ Oh absolutely read it for yourself. My dislike for chick lit didn't set this book up for a good chance, but oh well. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. The honesty is me, but it often sounds soooo much harsher in a post than it is meant to be. I do feel bad about that part.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-4317355007735919382008-09-01T22:55:00.000-04:002008-09-01T22:55:00.000-04:00I really liked BELONG TO ME.
