Good lines: good reasons

"Kiss me."

"I beg your pardon!"

"We're two lovers of old novels in a garden in the moonlight. Kiss me."

Will she? Won't she? You'll have to read Charlie Lovett's First Impressions: A novel about old books, young love, and Jane Austen to find out.

Oh, this is SO intriguing - but I cannot afford another book or the time to embark on it - heck, heck!
However it is definitely on my radar, I can't stop thinking about it now I've read post - twice.

Oh I look forward to reading this. I enjoyed The Bookman's Tale, which I won in the Alma Books competition last year.

Ooh, I have an ARC sitting on my shelf! I must take it down and actually read it.

I have this book which is waiting to be read. The title has lots of promise, doesn't it? I see you read Ian Rankin too, I read all his books.

I have the ARC too and look forward to reading this book soon.

The Bookman's Tale was a lot of fun, and this is very much in the same vein.

Mr. C. has snaffled the Ian Rankin - he's a great fan!

Posted by: Cornflower | 04 October 2014 at 12:46 PM

I'm well on with it now and really enjoying it.

Posted by: Cornflower | 04 October 2014 at 12:47 PM

This will be a good one when you're ready for a nice, fun read with a bookish theme, Carol.

Thanks for the hint. Just on order at my local US library, so I am one of the first on the wait list to get it when it comes in...not that I need another book on the nightstand--just more hours in the day to read.
