And thanks so much for the link - I really appreciate it:)<BR/><BR/>Susan, Nancy, Dorothy & ML - Thanks! I'm glad to be back :)<BR/><BR/>Lesley & Les - It definitely is difficult to settle down in a new environment. Some people adapt well. However, when you're so used to living a certain lifestyle, change can be difficult. Thanks for the understanding! <BR/><BR/>Bluestalking Reader - Thanks! I anxiously await Tippy the Turtle's growth! ;)<BR/><BR/>Cipriano - Thanks for the laugh! Cheers to you!<BR/><BR/>Judytta & Danielle - The three books that I read for Elle are: The Best Place to Be by Lesley Dorman (I really enjoyed this one and chose it as the book of the month. It is a series of short stories revolving around a character named Grace. Each story involves a poignant experience in her life that provides insight into the woman that she became); <BR/><BR/>Angelica by Arthur Phillips (Another good read. This one involves a very disturbed family and their individual takes on creepy events involving a supernatural entity. Chilling!); <BR/><BR/>and Black & White by Dani Shapiro (The novel delves into the mother-daughter relationship and what happens when the mother oversteps her boundaries. The mother is a photographer, and when she chooses to take some very disturbing pictures of her daughter, we learn how it has affected said daughter and her relationship with her family. Despite this premise, I did not enjoy this book).Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105214470972651791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-36733874551868757732007-02-21T10:24:00.000-07:002007-02-21T10:24:00.000-07:00Judytta - Thanks!

You'd think it'd be the other way around, but home is home and it's hard to love a new city when you really loved the one you had to leave. I hope you get out of your reading slump! Oh, and I'd be a royal bitch on Thanksgiving if I had to do all you did. As it was, I wasn't very hospitable to those who joined us either. I think it's very stressful to put on a huge meal like that and then be carefree and happy. Anyhow, it's great to see you here again!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-88488548835306195102007-02-15T06:20:00.000-07:002007-02-15T06:20:00.000-07:00Yeah, you're back!
