I tore through it while my children napped.<br /><br />Bells on Their Toes is wonderful! My grandfather roomed with one of the Gilbreth boys in college, so maybe that's why this book is especially interesting to me.<br /><br />I enjoyed World Without End even more than The Pillars of the Earth. It also kept me company during the hot, dark hours after Hurricane Gustav, for which I'll always be grateful.<br /><br />I loved Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. Green is hilarious and tender at the same time.<br /><br />I read Here on Earth while traveling for an interview my husband had years ago. Isn't it strange the way books lodge themselves in our minds in relation to what was happening in our own lives?Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-37787580380892287802011-11-15T13:31:27.157-06:002011-11-15T13:31:27.157-06:00Ooh "Paper Towns" is a book that's b...Ooh "Paper Towns" is a book that's been on my to-read list for a while, but I have yet to pick up a copy!
