So, I would probably recommend that book to you as well! I had an opportunity to attend an author event at the indie bookshop in Neptune Beach a couple of years ago, and she was wonderful to listen to. I can't wait to see what you think of her books!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-64359606796576531222011-12-13T23:20:34.428-05:002011-12-13T23:20:34.428-05:00I'm 200 pages into Beasts and feeling the same...I'm 200 pages into Beasts and feeling the same way. And I loved Devil, too. I think this book needs that same dual story format. I'm getting dragged down by too much Martha and her sexcapades. I wasn't expecting it to focus so much on her and all of her men. I don't think she was the best choice of glue to hold this story together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-70459752420138473102011-12-13T20:31:58.128-05:002011-12-13T20:31:58.128-05:00I was ready to give you grief about it being "...I was ready to give you grief about it being "50" and cold but I guess you can complain about Chicago!

It is historical fiction, and it tells a rather interesting story. I am glad that you are getting some coolness in Chicago, and can't tell you how disappointed I am that it has been so warm here. I went out and got a few sweaters at the beginning of the season, and haven't worn any of them! I also saw the purple coat on Facebook, and I do have to say, you looked great with it on!<br /><br />Have a safe trip back!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-60118032851044877682011-12-11T07:31:39.751-05:002011-12-11T07:31:39.751-05:00Birth of Venus = Girl With the Snake Tattoo.
