I know I've read a great book when I realize that there were a lot of issues and it still worked.

And you are so right, there is nothing wrong with those types of reads - cripes, I usually dive into one or two of those a year.<br /><br />Jenna, exactly! Why do these authors overload their books? Ugh! Its so annoying, because they can wind up with a better book if they would just focus on a few themes, instead of twenty. Oh well.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-62615312409683024322012-06-18T18:16:12.014-04:002012-06-18T18:16:12.014-04:00I can't say this one would be my cup of tea ei...I can't say this one would be my cup of tea either. Including so many themes/issues comes across as the author trying to hard to be a book club pick.

The only problem is that you have to read them to find out if they are so-so :)Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-32001841534546122722012-06-18T14:30:01.001-04:002012-06-18T14:30:01.001-04:00Thanks for the honest review!
