I got Sweet Salt Air too – doesn’t it look good? The weather can’t decide what it wants to do around here.

I have the GG narrated by Tim Robbins and I’ve been thinking of getting this one instead.
I love the Measure of Love cover. I can’t wait for that review.

I’ve read my print copy of Gatsby several times but haven’t listened to it. I sampled the newest audio (narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal) and couldn’t resist it or the $5.99 price 🙂

Sharon, luckily the river is far enough from our house that we didn’t get flooding – although our pump worked overtime. Thank goodness for that! Have a great week!

HI Mary~ Thanks for visiting my blog post today.. as far as GR Page Count goes, you will find on your home page your Challenge widget. You must have entered the goal for the reading challenge… you click on the small print where it says ‘view books’.
After that screen loads with all the book covers, click on ‘view your stats’ which will then load a page with the option to view pages (the standard/default will show the # of books). Enjoy 😉

Oh, Barbara Delinsky looks good. I used to read her all the time, but haven’t read her recently. I am going to add that one to my list. Jane Porters book is amazing. I hope you really enjoy it.

Duh me, if I had of read this post first instead of your review of Life from Scratch I would have found the sequel sitting right in your book arrivals lol. I must be the last person on earth to read The Great Gatsby, I did want to get to it before seeing the movie but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Have a wonderful week and happy reading 🙂

I really enjoyed The Good Woman, and hope to read The Good Daughter soon. It’s taking me some time to get into The Engagements….the print is really small for my older eyes…lol.
Waiting for Sweet Salt Air…..enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

I’m not a fan of arcs with tiny print. I hope the reading experience gets easier (one of the reasons I prefer my Kindle is the ability to enlarge the print).

I was so excited to see some wild flowers on my walk Saturday. I can tell it’s been a bad spring when that happens!
I received a copy of Sweet Salt Air too.

I know what you mean, Leslie. I had to snap a pic with my phone when I saw the tiny bit of color. My husband subscribes to my blog and when he saw the pic he went outside to find the flower 🙂
