But both these books felt different. I had read so many good reviews about the first one, that I was wondering what I was missing, or concerned that I was approaching it with the wrong mindset or something.<br /><br />The Dust was simply one I wanted to really really like because of my attachment to CCM. I was hoping someone might tell me how wonderful it was once you push through the section I was in the middle of!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-46635028874357850072015-09-09T06:09:22.503+10:002015-09-09T06:09:22.503+10:00I dont like abandoning books but I put down The Ra...I dont like abandoning books but I put down The Race For Paris recently by Meg Waite Clayton. It probably had nothing to do with the book but I just couldn't click with it at the beginning. I will try again when the timing is better. I too liked Corellini's Mandolin so I'm glad you warned me about his new book. Sometimes it just happens! It's okay to let it go. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-842253871318838032015-09-06T11:08:41.423+10:002015-09-06T11:08:41.423+10:00I hate it when a book disappoints.I hate it when a book disappoints.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-7758418066899986632015-09-06T10:28:02.021+10:002015-09-06T10:28:02.021+10:00I haven't read BWW but it is one of my colleag...I haven't read BWW but it is one of my colleagues favourite books.

I've seen one fairly positive review, but many more are less than glowing. Corelli's Mandolin is an all-time favorite, so I'm hesitating...<br /><br />Have you read Birds Without Wings? I picked that up at a library book sale and will probably give that a try instead.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
