I'm having a tough time finding books I can "get into." It's been like this for a long time. I think my mind is just going in too many directions and I find it hard to really concentrate on what I'm reading. Thanks for the great review!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039090177447731633.post-20355462031004420232014-07-05T06:22:08.397-07:002014-07-05T06:22:08.397-07:00Good review of UNLIKELY, Claudia.

I agree with you, and without spoiling the ending, I also felt it left the readers with a challenge to reconsider some things.<br /><br />There are so many books that make the best seller list but that don't, in my opinion, deserve that following. Sometimes the high sales are due to the publishers' promotions and "hype" instead of the books themselves, so I appreciate the recommendations of friends.Marylin Warnerhttp://warnerwriting.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039090177447731633.post-44352872587136721522014-07-03T10:46:33.276-07:002014-07-03T10:46:33.276-07:00I just finished Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter and...I just finished Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter and loved it. I'll put yours on my list... ha, like I don't have enough. But I always like recommendations best. Sounds like you had a cool evening for the ballgame (that was lucky) as I think the last time I was at a game, I went away soaked from sweat. Ugh. And your other book recommendation (A Fine Romance) sounds good too!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039090177447731633.post-18622632609277941792014-07-02T18:02:48.118-07:002014-07-02T18:02:48.118-07:00Claudia--I'm glad you found a book you've ...Claudia--I'm glad you found a book you've enjoyed so much.

I'm a voracious reader, but light and entertaining is on my list to offset the crazy-busy I'm engulfed in. I'll put it on my list, though, for a later date.

I thought it needed a lot more editing than it received. And feel a bit out of step because I didn't love it. It was interesting, but I believe was released too soon. More and tighter editing required.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039090177447731633.post-87742082639036170872014-06-30T11:11:24.992-07:002014-06-30T11:11:24.992-07:00I read this book and your review brings out its go...I read this book and your review brings out its good points. I agree with your review and greatly recommend it.
