A
Jane Green novel would be a welcome addition to our summer read-a-thon, don't you think? So here we go with
Promises to Keep
as we make our way into August 2010, because it's a
promising book to say the least. Here's a little more about this novel:
Synopsis: A novel about the hard choices we sometimes have to make, what it means to be a grown-up, and mostly, about the enduring nature of love.

"I really enjoyed this book. I did find it a little slow to get the sisters straight, at first, but as I got into a couple of chapters, I found myself into their lives; the characters developed as real people. I held my 2 year old daughter a little closer after I read it, but I did turn Mickey Mouse on for her,so I could finish the book. Very heartwrenching - as life is - good job writing, Jane."

So? Are you up for the challenge?
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteJust started chapter 5..nice listen..
Good afternoon there chief peep!
ReplyDeleteNow going into Chapter 10!
Really good book!
I am being pokey and only on pg 6. How do you like the recipes between chapters? Are you writing any down (since I know you're doing the Audible thing)?
ReplyDeleteHaving a hard time with this book? It does get better, or to me it does. I love listening to the recipes, not anything I would eat, but I think it is weaving something together, in the story line. In chapter 18..
ReplyDeleteScanning slides for the inlaws so I have listening time..
Mostly having a hard time finding reading time this week. School starts for the peeps in 8 days - CRAZY BUSY! The good news? Curbside reading soon. :)
ReplyDeleteHi..
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 26. No rush to read, but it is a heart tugger for sure. I do have a minor complaint, but lets see if you figure it out..
I just finished this book.
ReplyDeleteI have to give this book 5 heartbreaking stars.
I wasn't sure at first how the title of the story was going to unfold, but boy can Jane Green take us on an emotional ride.
I will not say more until you get the chance to finish the book. I want to get your thoughts.
Definitely read the epilogue and the memorium at the end of the book when you are done.
Amazing is all that I can say..
Just starting ch 19. The emotional roller coaster is about to begin.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I can't comment on it..you have to take this ride on your own..zipped...
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading 'Promises to Keep' 2 minutes ago and am finding myself fighting back a big huge lump in my throat while trying to hold back the waterworks! Not only did this book touch my heart but reached in and moved my soul. Jane Green really outdid herself in writing this book - a new favorite of all time.
ReplyDelete5 enthusiastic stars (out of 5)! I recommend this book to everyone.
I had a really hard time not telling you anything. You had to read this one to take this ride. It was such a good book! Highly recommend it to anyone!
ReplyDelete... and now I know why! Thank you, Becca, for holding back while I finished and not spoiling the ride. Loved this one.
