I can read for awhile, and then pick up the audio in the car or the pool (with my waterproof MP3 armband) so I don't feel glued to the reading chair.<br /><br />Harold is a book that really grew on me.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164739473838041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-43857663383895086952012-12-17T19:27:44.463-06:002012-12-17T19:27:44.463-06:00It was a sweet book, wasn't it?

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of books where the characters dwell on all the mistakes they've made in life, but I thought it was really sweet the way this book was set up. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-41700497498879757192012-12-13T16:40:27.414-06:002012-12-13T16:40:27.414-06:00This sounds sweet.

I love having human people read out loud to me in person, but audiobooks not really so much. :/ (The exception being Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter. I could listen to that all day. But I already know those books very, very well.)Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-3225142453259967712012-12-13T11:00:32.284-06:002012-12-13T11:00:32.284-06:00Yes, I make lists with plans and half the time go ...Yes, I make lists with plans and half the time go off in different directions, too...

I suppose the name should have given it away! Intriguing plot, and yes, brave, especially if the cane on the cover reflects the actual character. The marketing aspect reminds of a film I watched on a similar walking theme - once the radio station, in the film, found out, it wasn't as good.Charliehttp://wormhole.carnelianvalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-42414028304556796062012-12-12T20:54:31.115-06:002012-12-12T20:54:31.115-06:00I am terrible at accomplishing goals I set for mys...I am terrible at accomplishing goals I set for myself regarding the library too.

I was hooked within the first few pages and fell madly in love with Harold and was surprised I would feel equally the same for Maureen. What a beautiful novel and I'm so glad I read this one this year. I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-40972087999132375212012-12-12T07:41:00.254-06:002012-12-12T07:41:00.254-06:00I have heard so much about this book and will find...I have heard so much about this book and will find time to read it.
