Have finally finished it. Sorry it took so long. Unfortunately I just couldn't get into it as much as I tried. I didn't find that it referred that much to Jane Austen and I often found it confusing how the story jumped between people and in some places the past and present.

However thank you to Lovesbooks05 for letting me take part in the Ring.

I will pop the book in the post to Inver this afternoon as I already have her address.

I will also forward it on as part of 'The 2006 Keep Them Moving Challenge'

Thanks Rosiewhippet for sending it on. Sorry it hasn't been journalled earlier but have been on holiday. Left a note to that affect on Bookring forum, just incase anyone was trying to contact me.

Anyway, I started this book last night and will try and get through it ASAP. On reading first couple of chapters I don't think it will take long to read. Not quite sure how the story if going to grow...but time will tell.

(10/8/06)Have to say I am struggling with this book....the references to the Austen books are meaning nothing to me and still waiting for something of importance to happen with all the characters....not quite sure if I will finish this I'm afraid. Tending to skim parts of it!!

(11/8/06) Well I have tried hard with this book and don't usually give up on something, but I am sorry to say I just can't finish it. It is just not holding my interest at all. I feel as if I am just reading words and they are meaning nothing.

Thanks for the fun of joining the ring though.

Saturday was the first rainy day this Autumn - the perfect day to read a good book while seeing the rain outside. I was in the middle of another bookring, but decided just to browse through the first pages of this one. I couldn't stop and finished it yesterday. The book could be better structured. Nevertheless, I found it truly addicting and enjoyed reading it very much.

It will go to vainilla79 soon!

30/10 - sent today. Sorry for the large delay!

I got it yesterday.
Thanks a lot!

Those last month have been very busy and I didn't get much time to read.
I will try to finish this book before the end of april.

Journal Entry 14 by atalante3134 from Montpellier, Languedoc-Roussillon France on Sunday, May 13, 2007
I've finished this book (at least)... It didn't really catch my attention.
Maybe because I've never read a Jane Austen book...

I hope the next person will enjoy it more than me.

Sorry, it took me so long to read it.

I will pm to the next in line right now.

I''ve finally managed to pm Streetmouse who doesn''t want this book anymore (already read it).

I''m currently trying to pm LilPatoodle who doesn''t seem to answer.

I just wanted to let you know this book is not lost, neither forgotten.

Are you sure you want to delete this item? It cannot be undone.
