Default Re: Story of Edgar Sawtelle - book

gg,

Behave youself! Drink coffee! I am not a rich librarian. And I have spent our life savings on hardbound books. So now we will never have any hope of being rich. As much as I love libraries, when it comes to new books, I want what I want when I want it. So I keep spending our life savings on them. Mr. Boomer buys hardbound books, too. His though are mostly non-fiction. But I think he is going to read this one. No, NOT American Wife. He is going to read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.

Be careful in those bookstores, gg. One time on here I wrote about how bookstores are meetmarkets.

And the American Wife is Laura. Thinly disguised Laura. The book is fiction. And as I understand it, the author really likes Laura a lot, but takes an interesting perspective on things. I am not too far into the book. So far, Alice (Laura) and I are still in high school. I can relate to all the stuff that has to do with the times as she goes through her childhood and teenage years. Right down to those long gloves for the prom. I like Laura, too. And I like Alice, the character in the book. And this author is a good one.

I think you might like the book a lot. But I have heard it is quite steamy in places. No steam yet. Alice is still in high school. It is a small Midwest town. She is a nice girl. No steam yet for Alice.

If I would stop writing all this stuff on here, I might actually get the book read.
