You have piqued my interest with Quaker Summer, this is going on my list. Though at the moment I can't concentrate to read much!
I was just going to ask you how you enjoyed The Time Travelers Wife...but I noticed that you have a review...I am thinking of seeing if Paperback Swap has that one. I have had Girl with the Pearl Earring on my shelf for over a year, I tried to read it once but couldn't get into it...however, based on experience, much like you....that may change the next time I try and pick it up.
This waas a lovely blog post
