So I don't know why I let them sit so long. In 2014, I am making less commitments to challenges and just reading what I am interested in at the moment (well, sort of) so maybe I can fit one in.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-119538611330177502013-09-22T15:52:43.048+01:002013-09-22T15:52:43.048+01:00Tracy, she does a good job of giving her heroine/i...Tracy, she does a good job of giving her heroine/investigator an excuse to be involved in the crimes: she is a lawyer doing PI research work - in this one for a different firm of lawyers. I do enjoy them, will carry on with the series.

I just figure publishers name series like they choose a suitable title and they often get it wrong. But, having said that, I have two books in the series and have never read them. Even knowing that she is Chabon's wife and said that about her relationship with her children and her husband. Bravo for her to be able to say what she thinks, right or wrong. <br /><br />Probably the reason they have not called out to me to be read is that the books feature an amateur detective and that is hard for me to believe in. But I have not given them a chance.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-72957744213843088412013-09-22T00:43:01.229+01:002013-09-22T00:43:01.229+01:00I've read a couple Waldman novels that I reall...I've read a couple Waldman novels that I really liked, but I've never tried the Mommy Track series.<br /><br />As for First Communion wear, I don't remember the dress as much as the flowery tiara :) Aren't quinceanera dresses the really sparkly ones in Mexico?RebeccaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720581274534125405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-23653808892772506622013-09-20T15:05:37.155+01:002013-09-20T15:05:37.155+01:00Another interesting book I never heard of, but sho...Another interesting book I never heard of, but should check out....LA, movies, hippies, Mexico.....my kind of scene!<br /><br />I can recall (dimly) both my First Holy Communion and Confirmation - and believe I was dressed equally as smartly for both, but can't for the life of me remember whether the girls wore wannabee wedding dresses for the latter! Funny what you can and can't remember with the passage of time. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-73232142425832477062013-09-20T08:09:58.062+01:002013-09-20T08:09:58.062+01:00I know - it's not a good name.

That said though, I've been to some of those open-air markets. They're pretty interesting places and I'm not surprised that Julia finds that dress. Honestly, it's amazing what you do find.
