Yeah, it’s a cute, touching, poignant fable (with some humor) 23 short chapters, so I read it every December — on chapter per night, leading up to Christmas. 🙂 xo

Thanks once again, Vikki, for mentioning EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY. You’ve been faithful to that book since it was published in 2005! I’ve really appreciated your support over the years & the plugs you’ve given it. 🙂

Awwww, thanks Linda, but, that is because it is an EXCELLENT book! 🙂 The only book I’ve ever read in one day 🙂
I saw a copy of Star Gazing at the BookCrossing UnConvention last Saturday. Was tempted to pick it up, but decided that wasn’t fair, wanted someone else to enjoy it. I hope whoever picked it up does and you get another review 🙂

I have one book I hold close to my heart – The BFG by Roald Dahl. A classic that I have on my bookshelf and I hope my kids read it too. I certainly hint at it all the time lol. My recently discovered new fave author is Chris Carter – he has written a 4 book series; crime, whodunnit – and I am itching to get my hands on his 5th book which wont be out till next year. Too painful!! 🙂

Lol, patience my dear 😉
