We would have a blast. :) I'm dying to start a book club here, but I don't know very many people yet and those that I know are not real readers. I'll figure something out. But at least, I can still chat online about books and that's a very good thing.<br />Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-54283252919734183192016-06-30T01:32:40.181-04:002016-06-30T01:32:40.181-04:00"However, it's not all roses and baby'..."However, it's not all roses and baby's breath, these are dark times."<br /><br />Love that line! Fun review as is always the case over here in Yvette-land. I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your takes on books I've written about and recommended. You've done it more than anyone among my blogging friends and it really makes me smile each time I know I've moved you to seek out and buy a copy and read it. Wish I lived closer to you. We'd have a blast meeting for coffee or tea or whatever and talking about these books and art and movies and more. :^DJ F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-49796424616310083152016-06-23T19:46:06.829-04:002016-06-23T19:46:06.829-04:00Do NOT resist, Sergio. :)Do NOT resist, Sergio. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-44421909707894415322016-06-22T04:31:00.409-04:002016-06-22T04:31:00.409-04:00Brand new author for me Yvette - but with you and ...Brand new author for me Yvette - but with you and John providing such nice reports, who could resist!

In fact they might be identical twins. There. Now I really have little choice but to find this book and read it. Altho I promise not to add a third review to the FFB canon!
