I had to stop after the story Morels though- I just couldn't go any further. :( I loved Shotgun Lovesongs, but this one didn't do it for me. :( I know what you are saying though. I love Robert Goolrick and would read anything by him, even though his books are also pretty tragic.Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-16741714555737272902015-11-16T14:16:55.261-08:002015-11-16T14:16:55.261-08:00Omg I know right?

I think that is partly why I like them! I like the easy little mystery they have going on, and usually every book has a part that freaks me out, no matter how times I have read it.

Short story collections can be enjoyable, but variety goes along with them.<br /><br />You know, I've never had anything pumpkin flavoured. Here in the UK it just isn't as popular as it seems to be in the US. We carve pumpkins and all for Halloween, but beyond that, they're basically non existent. <br /><br />Happy reading!<br /><br /><a href="http://readingwithjade.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Reading With Jade</a><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583725670237243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-70764279711351651232015-11-16T04:42:35.791-08:002015-11-16T04:42:35.791-08:00The knitting book sounds like a lot of fun!The knitting book sounds like a lot of fun!Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-72073241513443964852015-11-16T01:41:54.522-08:002015-11-16T01:41:54.522-08:00Good to see that you enjoyed The Grownup.
