Pies!! I like it.

My F2F book club is reading this to discuss in October. Can’t wait. I *knew* it was a novel in stories but I think I knew that from reading other reviews.

Like you, I don’t follow the award winners; it’s always interesting to see what’s on it, but I don’t build my library around it.

You know I’m doing this Game On Diet competition … between your reminding me of the doughnuts, the mention of blueberry pie you quoted, and your pie rating … I’m off to snack on a cheese stick!

I agree, 5 pies (or 5 cheese sticks … pick your poison)

Nymeth – I’m sure you’ll love it. Pretty sure. NO, I have no idea! but I did want to tell you that I can’t wait for you to read/review On Chesil Beach (I saw your comment somewhere – Fyrefly’s?)

Lisa – can you do that? read a book club selection too far in advance? I cannot. I tend to forget even if I loved the book!

Nicole – you have such thoughtful reviews, I think you’ll like this one.

Ali – ah, and WHICH day of the week is Someday!?

Violet – yea, the name Olive seems to a typecasting name huh? Read it – I think you’ll like it.

Debie – you are too cute. I am thrilled you are thrilled.

Thanks KGMom! Yes, deeply touched is a good choice of words. I had problems with Life of Pi but I don’t doubt anyone who loves it. I need to blogroll you; I’ll be back to read more.

OH Joanne! Thank you – what a sweet thing to say. I just reread my post and I have no idea – how I make my writing ’seem so cozy and chatty?’ really? I do? huh.

I’ve wanted to read this forever! But I was looking for a book written by Olive Kitteridge – I couldn’t find it (of course.) And only realized it was the title when I saw Jill’s review. Then I forgot about it (of course.) Now I read your review and again I feel like I must read it! *writing note to self on sticky tab right now*

However with all that said, I highly doubt this book will be as entertaining as your review! How on earth do you make your writing seem feel so cozy and chatty?! I love it

I’m somehow put off by the title of this book, no idea why. I didn’t know it was a collection of short stories. Thanks for pointing that out. 5 stars huh? Not bad at all.

You’ve been reading some awesome books lately, haven’t you? This one’s definitely on my list for Someday.
