9/9/11 - FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK!!!! This book, started off very slow, and although a little more than half way through it started to pick up, the author had already lost my interest. The ending overall was pretty good, and if you like over the top detailed books, you'll probably enjoy this read.
7/29/11 - Well, to be honest....I only have a little less than 200 pages left to go in this book. Although it has started to pick back up, it's still a little to slow and weird to me. My grandmother's book club meeting (7/2/11) was good though, and the ladies who did enjoy the book, made me want to finish reading it. So next week, the plan is to pick this book back up and finish reading it - hopefully before Baby Girl #2 get's here! I haven't read this book all month, but I am determined to finish reading it. So good luck to me, and as always, I'll keep you all posted.
6/16/11 - Well, I'm 70 pages into this book - it's starting off a bit slow...hopefully it will pick up - SOON!
6/10/11 - I have been invited to join in my grandmother's bookclub meeting at the beginning of next month. The book the bookclub is reading is The Hand I Fan With by Tina McElroy Ansa. I plan on starting this book hopefully this evening. And yes, this book wil count towards my goal of 12 books in 2011, although it's not on my reading list. I'm not sure which book it will replace yet. If you've read it, please let me know what you thought about it! :)
About the book:
The Hand I Fan With
Lena McPherson, the "baby of the family" from Ansa's first novel, is all grown up, rich, beautiful and successful. The only problem is she is also lonely, overworked and unappreciated as the "hand" the whole town of Mulberry, Georgia "fans with." But she is still a special little baby girl so she and her best friend get together and conjure her up a man and Herman, a 100-year-old ghost appears.
In this beautifully erotic novel, Herman fills her life with joy, love and peace and teaches her how to share her life, wealth and gifts without destroying herself in the process.
