I apologize to those who loved the book and found it the "best" romance novel ever. I had a hard time with it. I spent most my time laughing and texting my buddy (Dianne) to see what she thought. It was the month's choice for our book club. In fact Dianne had her husband pick up 2 copies at Costco. One for me the other for her. We thought we could embarrass him. Fools that we are...he does not embarrass easy.
I liked to think of it as a "Harlequin" romance on steroids...It just seemed unbelievable. Christian Grey far too damaged for my liking. Again...sorry. Well at least it is getting women to read more. Argh.
So my thought was...What do I do with this book. Do I donate...Do I give it away...
I was so excited and quite pleased with my idea that I decided to run it by my husband. My husband, who is usually quite supportive, told me there was a special Christmas hell just for me.
Alas, I mailed my book to my cousin Michelle in Bakersfield.
Hi, I just found your site through Terri at Art Life Rust - I love your little men, both the snowmen and the ones on Terri's blog - they are great fun and very original.
ReplyDeleteI adore your dogs - aren't their names posh - and totally agree with your views on 50 shades of grey, although I got no closer to it than reading the back of it in my local book store! I think I'll enjoy coming back and visiting again!
Thank you. They are a lot of fun to make.
DeleteI have some pictures I need to upload of some of the wine we recently purchased in Paso Robles. Sully decided he needed to be in the pictures too. I would upload them now, however the husband took the camera with him for work out of town. Honestly.
Haha! HATS for sure! I don't get it either BTW - never even picked up a copy. BUT the pages did make gorgeous art! Just found you through Terri - nice to "meet" you, Kristin xo
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too! I know I probably offended some of my cousins with my loathing of that book. I keep asking Terri to read it so we can have a laugh about it.
