How wonderful! I...Heehee, I can understand that. :)<br />How wonderful! It is so fun to love a story that does NOT have a romance angle in it. Then my brother and dad can't tease me that I like the story only for the romance. ;) Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-19747521248842781692016-03-19T13:31:10.934-07:002016-03-19T13:31:10.934-07:00Natalie,
Reading too much about the WW's "...Natalie,<br />Reading too much about the WW's "churns" me up, but I love reading about wounded heroes and whatnot, so like you I'm usually more about the romance angle. :) This one, though, is one of those rare stories which has like NO ROMANCE, but is all the more un-utterably splendid for it!

Any story set during WW1 or WW2 piques my interest. :) Although, I do tend to lean toward ones that are not strictly about the war....usually it has to have a romance or some other plot mixed in as well. ;)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-70572086921375046012016-03-09T10:39:20.281-08:002016-03-09T10:39:20.281-08:00Rilla,

And as for the young man... as I continue through the story (which I'm reading <i>very</i> slowly, because almost any type of war novel is really intense for me) he becomes only more splendid! BTW: do you like reading war stories? This one isn't exactly a <i>war</i> story as it takes place on the home front, but being in England the war is quite present. <br /><br />I hope you can read it soon!Éowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740991607580029470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-22491855904189220552016-03-09T10:37:49.502-08:002016-03-09T10:37:49.502-08:00Literary Feline,

I first discovered Tolkien in my early 20s, even though I'd been an avid reader ever since I could read on my own. How nice that your entire family is into reading!<br /><br />The book you've chosen this week has a great beginning. I love the descriptions! The repetition of the word "gray" gives the first paragraph a rather musical quality, especially when you read it out loud.<br /><br />Happy Reading!
