It's Friday linkup time! I'm linking up with the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice.
This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
Do you answer all the comments left on your blog?
My Answer:
I try but lately I haven't been doing very well. I'm hoping to get back on track soon and possibly start using disquis so that commentors will be notified of the answer.
The Beginning:
London, 1843
Two young women stood at the threshold of the perfumery, one tugging impatiently at the arm of the other. "Do we have to go in there?" the smaller one was saying in a flat American accent, resisting as the other pulled her forcibly into the quietly lit shop.
My Thoughts:
I like that the heroine in this book is American as I've always been fascinated by the stories of the wealthy Americans who took their daughters to England to find a titled husband for them.
The 56: (Actually 156)
"Pardon," came Daisy's voice from nearby, "but I am going to take this opportunity to make use of the ...the... oh, whatever the polite world is for it, I have no idea. I will meet you at the entrance of the dining hall."
My Thoughts:
I can't imagine going from relative freedom and then suddenly being dropped into a world that has so much more structure and strict rules for how you should and shouldn't behave. I feel for Daisy here. She's trying to do what she's supposed to do but she's getting frustrated. Luckily her sense of humor keeps her from getting to stressed about it all.
So what do you think? Keep reading? How often do you reread?
I love It Happened One Autumn. I really want to re-read it but I haven't quite gotten there yet. Hopefully soon, though. I love that quote from Daisy too.
ReplyDeleteI generally liked The Wallflowers series. It got 3-4 stars from me. I've been either replying back to comments on their own blogs or emailing them if they don't have one. If I didn't get back to that, I'll do a big thank you on the next post.
ReplyDeleteNot heard of this one but it sounds interesting. :)

ReplyDeleteThis seems like an interesting read. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow does Disquis work? Please send me an e-mail if you can with the directions.
ReplyDeleteI comment on all comments. :) I enjoy doing that.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Hopping!!

My Blog Hop Answer
The 56 made me giggle... why is she looking for a polite word for dining hall? Can you be rude in describing it?!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I have been very slow about answering comments as of late--and terrible about keeping up with the blogs I follow. I think it's just that time of year. Goodness knows you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteCould she be referring to the powder room? LOL

I liked the Wallflowers series. I try to answer comments but some weeks are busier than others especially lately.
ReplyDeleteI answer all comments.

I love this series! As for comments -- well, I try to answer them all. I try to visit back, too, but when things are busy that isn't always easy! But I do try to stop in at my favorite blogs at least once or twice a week. :-) (Yes, you're one of them!)
