I would have assumed a team of editors would have caught those things.<br /><br />Have you been on Goodreads.com yet? It's a site where you can review books you've read and make a list of books to read. Friends can see each other's recommendations and comment to the reviews.<br /><br />I have to add that I agree it is very refreshing to read a well-written book. When I read Jany Eyre again last year after a string of more recent books, it felt so good to get sucked into the language and scenery of the Brontes' time.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492268398373284943.post-7284302179276542152010-08-24T19:29:39.812-07:002010-08-24T19:29:39.812-07:00No - blogs don't count - only published books....No - blogs don't count - only published books.Pam Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101099770476255954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492268398373284943.post-26836813279791187102010-08-24T18:39:49.739-07:002010-08-24T18:39:49.739-07:00I love to read books that are highly recommended. ...I love to read books that are highly recommended.
