day before yesterday, I had to run to the library to get a book that DH had placed on hold and make some copies. When we got ready to leave, DS grabbed a book off one of the display tables . Before I could correct him, I happened to glance at the cover.....it was Quilter's Legacy by Jennifer Chiaverini! Okay, now I have read the meesages by everyone about the books and the Elm Creek Quilters, but it is not my usual style of book, so I have been putting off reading them (yeah, yeah, dumb me).
My local library only had Quilter's Legacy and Round Robin, but I checked the online catalog when I got home and have requested all the other books from different libraries (2 are already in transit and 2 are still considered "active" but not yet heading toward my local library). I feel like such an idiot for not getting into these books earlier!!!!!!!!!! I started Round Robin yesterday and am almost all the way through it already!!! My DH has found it amusing that he actually hears me chuckling and or sniffling as I read....so much of it touches nerves....Sarah's relationship with Carol, Diane's strained (to put it politely) relationship with her neighbor, Carol's childhood and lack of emotional support from her parents....I had to explain to DH why I burst out laughing shortly after I started reading...."Who died and made you quilt police?" LOL
What an emotional up and down, but I absolutely love it!!!! I can't wait to get the other ones...of course, I know that I'll have to reread everything in the proper order, but....that's okay :-)
Larisa, finally dragged out of the narrow halls of historical romances and fantasy/science fiction
