On these shows, the studio audience, which is selected by some Oprah criteria of worthiness is inundated with one fabulous gift after another. It is mindboggling bordering on obscene. I mean, I don't really mind her sharing her largesse and that of corporate America, but spread it around a little why don't you, gal?seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-51617583459588490402010-12-17T19:39:23.435-06:002010-12-17T19:39:23.435-06:00It seems Oprah is good for something.

Honestly, I'm not sure how far I'll make it through A Tale of Two Cities...it isn't going well. I'm trying to give it a fair chance though.<br /><br />As for Moonlight Mile, I know what you mean I think. It did seem odd to me to see them so normal, and I have a hard time seeing that being maintained. On the other hand though, I was happy to see them have a happy ending.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-62397459252327498432010-12-16T14:30:37.495-06:002010-12-16T14:30:37.495-06:00Sean, rats, I wish you'd read it just so you c...Sean, rats, I wish you'd read it just so you could tell me if I was missing something. So far I'm finding it wordy and boring. Three chapters in and all I've got is a messenger meeting a stagecoach and unintentionally making everyone nervous by doing so.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-17262874833596826062010-12-16T13:57:16.040-06:002010-12-16T13:57:16.040-06:00Why you darn slacker, good to know you are still o...Why you darn slacker, good to know you are still out there.

It sounds like the perfect thing to do at this time of year for escape.<br /><br />I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about that jump to the future in Moonlight Mile. There was something about the early books that were a little out of reality, like their office in the bell tower or whatever it was. For them to settle down and be quite so conventional didn't altogether fit with the early ones for me. However, I seem to be alone in that opinion as it has hit the indie bestseller list and I hear nothing but praise.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
