It's funny Written by Barb JA (9/19/2010 8:06 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, JA always knows best., penned by Patricia AA

It's funny how each time we read these novels, we gain new insights and find new things that we hadn't really considered before. And perhaps our view of the characters is sometimes shaped by our stage in life, or our mood at the time we're reading.

I think the GR is helpful because I learn so much from what others post. I look forward to more of the conversation.
