A very engaging read. And aren't you nice to pass it on!
(Hey, look...I'm here, leaving a comment and my computer's not going crazy. A breakthrough!)

Thanks for the book pointer. My library has it, so I don't need to beg!

Missed the deadline but I'll make sure I read it anyway. I trust your taste,

This has been on my list to read for about a year now! It has gotten wonderful peer reviews! I'm keeping my fingers crossed since begging and pleading won't help in this contest! :)

what the hell. throw my name into the hat for the book. i can use a new one to read.

I read this book last year and can also thoroughly recommend it. It is lyrical and very mving and some of the images will stay with you for a long time.

Sandy, what a great idea to suggest a book to read. There are so many books out there that most of us are uncertain of. It's great finding new sources for opinions on books. This one sounds like a good little treasure that I just might have to look up.

Sandy, You are so funny! No begging aloud...only silently! :-) If I won the book, I would read it with plesure and then pass it on to the little library at the Assisted Living where I work! It would be greatly enjoyed!

I don't know about the begging! BUT I would like the bok to read for my book club. SOunds like just the one I need.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Oooh! I'll second the "summer reading" from Tee. But then, I'm a fan of all seasons reading.

That book was...by far...one of my favorites read in the last year. Loved it! :)

That book is actually on my must read least. I'd love to win it!

A good read is worth begging for, especially if it amuses the hordes. So, I'd love the book. Please? Please?? Oh, pick me, pick me!! I'm down on my knees, hands clasped prayer-like in front of pleading eyes. Pretty please?

ahem. Trying to regain composure now.

Someone told me about that book a while ago, and I forgot the name, so I'm grateful to you for reminding me. I'd love to win a copy, but if I don't I at least know the name and author and can get it from the library. Thanks for the contest!

I'll beg...I would love to read this book and I don't have an english library to check it out on.....

Hi Sandy! I've recently discovered your blog and, I have to say, I love it. The pictures you take are beautiful and I love reading what you have to say.

(You've also inspired me to try to grow my own avocado seed - something I never considered doing before!)

Since I was recently tagged for a "7 Things" meme, I thought I'd use it as a good excuse to say hello and get to know a few folks in the knitting community. So...

Tag! You're it! If you're interested you can read more about this meme on my blog :)

P.S. Like you I also wish I knew of a local book group. I wouldn't mind finding a local knitting group too.

I'm a shameless Japanophile, and have been eyeing that book for quite some time. I'd love a chance to read it!

That is on my bookshelf right now, it is the next selection for my book club. Good luck to all of the contestants.

Read a book? What a novel idea! (sorry. couldn't resist.) I would love to have your book.

Shall I chant? Go to the library, Go to the library, Go to the library. Can I stop now?

If it were an audiobook, I'd be begging for it. Mebbe I'll look for it in audio, though, since you made the recommendation.... XOXO

Ohhhh that IS a good book!
Don't put my name in though, I've already read it...obviously. Have a good one!

I love to find new books! I'd pass it along to someone. . .

Don't mind me. I'm just here to watch the begging. ;^)

I'll put my name in for the book, too. I also added it to my list of books to put on hold at the local library.

Love the flowers.

I was eying that very book at the store the other day, I'm glad to hear a recommendation!
Looking forward to reading it one way or another!

Hello! I would love to read this book. :)

ooo, summer reading! And if I don't win it (since I never seem to be at Random when people go there to pick someone), I know where my library is!
