Not my favorite. By the time you bond with the character, the story is over.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-43454487166700543652012-05-21T22:50:03.333-04:002012-05-21T22:50:03.333-04:00Scanned your short story collection, didn't re...Scanned your short story collection, didn't recognize anything.<br /><br />Scanned your novels and one title (besides the awesome Hunger Games!) caught my eye: The Book Thief. My daughter LOVES that book. She says its one of her favs. I think I'll have to add it to my ever-growing pile of "to be read" now.<br /><br />And I love how you say you don't get short stories, but can appreciate them the way you can appreciate a good poem. I totally relate to that!Name: Holly Bownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079363337603264641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-23040880920811976162012-05-21T22:07:03.796-04:002012-05-21T22:07:03.796-04:00That's quite a collection!

This opened up my eyes to how plot really works.<br /><br />Fiction:<br />Pam Jenoff's THE DIPLOMAT'S WIFE was pretty good, set in England just after WW2.<br />LOVED Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran.Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-30642919468295971592012-05-21T11:09:24.782-04:002012-05-21T11:09:24.782-04:00Wow, what a diverse collection--and some of these ...Wow, what a diverse collection--and some of these are quite experimental. <br /><br />I've been reading a bit more adult fiction lately, looking for that sweet spot in women's fiction between literary and romance--in other words, strong writing without the go-nowhere, depressing plot. :-)Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-63741411511595917902012-05-21T11:07:01.421-04:002012-05-21T11:07:01.421-04:00You know, I've never read Animal Farm.

One that always stuck out to me that I read in high school was titled "The Lottery". <br /><br />Paulstrugglingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895062852286494753noreply@blogger.com
