  23. Dar says:

    Thanks everyone for your comments. Much appreciated!

    Jo-Jo, Painter From Shanghai was awesome.

    Lilly, I'm still working on Cousin Kate. My migraine really threw my reading off. However I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm curious to see where it's going.

    Teashop Girl, Under the Tuscan Sun was such a good book. Gosh, I loved that book.

    Rebecca, I keep going back and forth on whether to read Still Alice or not. I'd like to on one hand but on the other it may be a difficult read for me.

    Jess, I can't wait to see what you'll think of Painter.

    Staci, I won Shanghai Girls from Bonnie. I can't wait to read it.

    Naida, Cousin Kate is really good so far. I'm only about 50 pages in but really enjoying it.
