Now it's not only miserable hot, it's also raining, raining, raining -- 5 inches overnight in some places but thank goodness not right where I am. <br /><br />I like the sounds of a few of your books and plan to put the "Wife's Tale" on hold at the library when I'm done here.<br /><br />I want to rave about a great <a href="http://thinkersthesaurus.com" rel="nofollow"> reference for writers</a> and readers and everyone else who loves words, "The Thinker's Thesaurus" by Peter Meltzer. Looking for a word? Don't get just the ordinary, get the interesting but real, with real-life examples. This is a second edition -- the two editions combined took more than 15 years to create, so you know the research is thorough. Beyond the incredible words you'll learn, this book is also entertaining.<br /><br />Now, off to my library site.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128269447156387127.post-33868256449219858092010-08-02T16:08:15.318-07:002010-08-02T16:08:15.318-07:00The weather there sounds wonderful!

We've had some really amazingly hot days here in Virginia lately - not great for reading or doing much of anything outdoors. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about Look Again - I've got that one on my TBR list, but maybe I'll have to reconsider.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy all your reading this week!jlshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268434704970729620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128269447156387127.post-34791032733968203232010-08-02T15:32:06.838-07:002010-08-02T15:32:06.838-07:00I think I want to read A Wife's tale... sounds...I think I want to read A Wife's tale... sounds good! <br /><br />Have an awesome week~Sheila (Bookjourney)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05354184020340930630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128269447156387127.post-42013469000703677682010-08-02T09:17:40.777-07:002010-08-02T09:17:40.777-07:00Jan -- Sorry to hear about the hot weather.

But it was such a good book that I was totally confused by the abrupt ending. Maybe a sequel?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053463512324781210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128269447156387127.post-81225943271345155882010-08-02T08:46:08.288-07:002010-08-02T08:46:08.288-07:00Have a great reading week!
