designer bedding…

Reader puasmommy just spotted an Adios Star Plush Throw Pillow for pre- order on Tenacious Toys. The description says that STRANGEco says the pillows may be released this summer, but there is no concrete date. Each pillow will be about 2 feet tall and …

This is one of my favorite books. I love epistolary style novels. I haven’t read the sequel and haven’t seen the movie. I’ll have to do that soon!

I’m glad that you finally found a copy and at least it’s not out of print.

To those of you who have read this book, I’m so glad to have joined your ranks. It’s delightful. As many of you suggest, I really need to rent the movie. I love Anthony Hopkins.

LindaMC ~ Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a comment. I am so glad that this review was the one to prompt you to make yourself known. It’s such an incredible book. Thanks also for following my blog. Comments or no comments, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to visit or read my feed.

Carey, that is so incredible that you got a letter from Helene!!! What a treasure. I do need to read the sequel. I didn’t know about that.

Valerie, Kathy, Marg ~ I am comparing this novel with Guernsey because of the letter format. I suppose in a way it is similar, but I wouldn’t put the books in the same category. Does that make sense?

Caite, Lisa, Violet, Meghan, Nymeth ~ You will not be disappointed reading this book. Carrie K’s description of where she read it says it all. What a peaceful feeling.

I actually ordered myself a copy of this today I bet I’ll love it; it really sounds like a complete delight.

And wow…you’d think a bookstore would want their search system to actually find books. So that they can actually sell them and all. Might come in handy.

Yay! I’m glad you loved this one as much as I did. I read it last year, and sucked it down in no time after watching the movie adaptation. Great, sweet, charming book. And it made me cry!

I read 84, Charing Cross Road this spring on an afternoon at the park while the kids played – and absolutely loved it!

My hypothetical book festival gift bag

I recently read this article about the books that Jennifer Egan chose for the PEN World Voices Festival goodie bags. I’ve only read two of the books she chose: Emma (which I’m rereading ri[...]

Since I follow your blog on Google Reader, I can only post a comment by going back to your acual site. Therefore I don’t often post a comment, but felt the need to do so this morning. After seeing the movie with Anne Bancroft, I immediately ordered the book, its sequel Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, and then later I ordered Q’s Legacy. All three are absolutely delightful. And, I also loved Guernsey.
