It was hard to attest to the reasons of why Kelly Simmons book, Standing Still, was so great without getting to the core of it. :) <br /><br />Luckily, she is a great writer who knows how to layer her books with many aspects to appreciate. Keep up the good work of spotlighting great reads!WritewhereUrhttp://www.writewhereyouareblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-13634395156695568972010-12-03T08:59:52.134-07:002010-12-03T08:59:52.134-07:00Helen: Right?

I think all editors know what I'm talking about here.<br /><br />WritewhereUR: I went to your site and read your review--holding my breath for fear you'd give too much away. Good for you, for resisting temptation! This is a wonderful book discussion read but a tough one to write about up front, since discovering the unfolding of the story is the beauty of its experience.Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-74273913984850069972010-12-03T08:50:53.326-07:002010-12-03T08:50:53.326-07:00I too, loved this book, Standing Still and wrote a...I too, loved this book, Standing Still and wrote a review of this book here: http://bit.ly/eyVlBB<br /><br />Thanks for your review and keeping this wonderful book in the eyes of readers who truly know a good book when they read it!WritewhereUrhttp://www.writewhereyouareblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-63868967551739732132010-12-03T08:27:37.391-07:002010-12-03T08:27:37.391-07:00Great review Kathryn.

When I go to yet another used book sale and come home with yet another bag my husband shakes his head in disbelief. I always tell him: "I need these books here for when they call to me." <br /><br />I had STANDING STILL in my house for several months before it called to me--and I'm sure glad it did!Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-41351799278314405702010-12-03T07:04:28.143-07:002010-12-03T07:04:28.143-07:00Oh, man, you've forced me to add another book ...Oh, man, you've forced me to add another book to my shopping list, as if my TBR pile isn't already high enough. <br /><br />Thanks for a great post.L.C.

LOL<br /><br />Seriously, I am just like you, Kathryn. I have a hard time staying iwth a book when it has mistakes that pull me out of the story, but I can also fall in love with a well-crafted story and be lost for days. Sounds like this is going to be my next "lost" book.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.com
