RoseB - 05 May 2006 03:30 GMT I read until after midnight, which makes me a little sleepy and grouchy in the morning. I typically get up first at about 4:45 am, and then for real at about 5:15 or so. It's all Diane's fault that i stayed up so late to read.
First, she made the story line very compelling, so that I kept wanting to read one more chapter, and then one more.I wanted to find out about this certain very tricky situation that the main characters find themselves in, and if and how they could get out of it.
Secondly, having many of my fellow ASA'ers mentioned on the Acknowldegements meant that I had to stop and reflect about when Diane asked certain questions and how different people answered them.
Probably I should have started this book at a time when there were still more reading hours left in the day and I hadn't just finished Gillian Roberts' _A Hole in Juan_or maybe I should have quit after the first chapter.
Now it looks like I might have to have another late night, because I usually watch ER, and that does not end until 11 in my time zone. Because I choose to read right before I go to sleep, it means I will start reading late, but if I get really hooked, it may be midnight again before I do the lights off thing.
LOL No harm intended Diane. I hope you appreciate the yongue in cheek.
Am loving Cee Cee Wilkes Secret Life, though. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB

As usual, I was up past midnight, again!! But I have several chapters done, and tomorrow is a weekend so no harm done. I don't think I was any grouchier than usual, but who knows. Kids seem off this time of the year anyway. I think they face the same temptation to stay up late, and then pay for it the next day by being grumpy and inattentive, so maybe we are a matched set. I can't wait til tonight when I read again... Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB

I loved this story for a variety of reasons, but won't go into detail so that I do not spoil it for anyone. I finished it in three nights and passed it on to my friend. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB

ladylove77 - 09 May 2006 02:54 GMT When I went to bed after reading about half the book one day and night, I kept waking up thinking about the characters and what they had done. Couldn't get them off my mind! Diane, this has got to stop! (LOL) Gwen

(LOL) << well, maybe it will. :-( i still don't have a contract for my next book. by this time of year, i'm usually headed toward deadline. my publisher is making lots of changes, plus i've now changed agents and we are trying to decide whether i should stay there or not. they turned down my next proposal because the "heroine" was 85. other things are in the work, but i won't have a book out in feb 07. sigh.

ladylove77 - 09 May 2006 03:48 GMT Diane, what will we do? You and your agent get busy and get another publisher who won't mind your heroine being 85. Nowadays, that's young enough for most anything! Gwen
>>>Diane, this has got to stop! (LOL) << > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > diane melodymom - 09 May 2006 06:06 GMT I'm sorry, Diane! Not so much for me, as it may give me a chance to catch up, but for you. All the best with your new agent and the changes in the air.

An 85-year-old heroine sounds great to me.
