I looked at my blog today at work and the top header looks gray instead of purplish. In fact, it all looked rather drab.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-20154392541845497692007-03-23T09:00:00.000-06:002007-03-23T09:00:00.000-06:00You have just been nominated for The Thinking Blog...You have just been nominated for The Thinking Blogger Award!

I like it. I'm in the middle of One Good Turn, by Kate Atkinson, and I wasn't planning to read the Richard Ford any time soon.

The reviewer quite disliked Firmin, which I have a copy of on my TBR shelf, after reading some positive book blog reviews.

I keep hearing excellent praise for this novel though, and perhaps it was the wrong book at the wrong time for me. I should pick it up again because I love all those qualities you point out for us: determination, faith, etc.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-52217754534998344272007-03-20T20:11:00.000-06:002007-03-20T20:11:00.000-06:00Oh, what fun!
