I wish I still had it, because I'm almost certain it wasn't any thinner than the copy of Anna Karenina I'm (not) reading right now, which somehow has just over 800 pages crammed into it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-24834124828549085382010-07-29T15:03:08.333-05:002010-07-29T15:03:08.333-05:00I didnt realise it was less than 500 pages, one of...I didnt realise it was less than 500 pages, one of those that looks deceptively bigger - Ill add it to my library list then!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-86267515752837677632010-07-27T15:29:18.456-05:002010-07-27T15:29:18.456-05:00Oh, Jess, it looks chunky, but don't let that ...Oh, Jess, it looks chunky, but don't let that put you off any longer.

Maybe that will make a difference for you. I hope it gets better before you finish the book!!<br /><br />Lesa--yes, you had just gotten <i>The Forgotten Garden</i> when we met up--so glad to hear you really enjoyed it! Makes me want to read it even more, if that's possible! I wish I knew how the two compared, because I don't want you to be disapopinted in <i>Riverton</i> (if <i>Forgotten Garden</i> is a better read and I've built <i>Riverton</i> up too much for you) . . .Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-51679120027903726842010-07-24T01:50:44.166-05:002010-07-24T01:50:44.166-05:00I'm going to get Riverton from the library-- I...I'm going to get Riverton from the library-- I think I was just starting The Forgotten Garden when we met at SDC-- I loved it-- my favorite book of the summer so far!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-5746918061263113522010-07-24T01:35:16.883-05:002010-07-24T01:35:16.883-05:00Stopping by from the hop.

Hopefully by the time I've finished that will have changed.
