We'll see if that's true coming up this month. :) ____ Thanks, M! ____ Oh, say it ain't so about The Seamstress. I'll keep an open mind when I read it. In comparison to Melmoth, it might be a walk in the park. ;) I think that reading a book can make you happy even if the story isn’t happy itself. We’ll see if that’s true coming up this month. :)

I read it a few weeks ago, and I just couldn't get into the author's writing style. I’m curious to read your review of the Seamstress.

Juana's life sucked pretty much as badly as did her little sister's, Katherine of Aragon. They both got screwed over by their husbands and their dad. On the other hand, they were both amazingly strong women (probably took after their mother), so maybe the book isn't that depressing after all.

It reminds me of the everyday sights at the middle school when I was a principal. The cover was a bit disturbing. It reminds me of the everyday sights at the middle school when I was a principal.

I'm so glad you've decided to join in. I do hope that the Charles Robert Maturin book picks up. That particular book giveaway/review opportunity seems to be a hit and miss with readers. I hope you have a great week. Welcome to the Sunday Salon! I’m so glad you’ve decided to join in.

I'm really glad I took the plunge. Like readerville said, it's about time. Best of all, I've found some really wonderful new blogs. I'm just thrilled. _____ LOL about making Melmoth a door stop. It's about heavy enough to be one. The story is finally starting to kick in a little bit. We'll see. I still am wondering what I've ever done to Penguin Classics... ____ unfinishedperson, I haven't really thought about whether I read happy books or not. Recently I certainly haven't. You're right about that. The Four Seasons was pretty pleasant, but that's about it. I might have to look into that. Hopefully The Last Queen and The Seamstress will break the mold.
