I enjoyed all his interaction with his unwanted pet, and it made me laugh when he was the only one the cat would allow to groom it, gave me a funny mental picture :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-39327591895889501662016-05-22T11:48:12.685+01:002016-05-22T11:48:12.685+01:00Hi Claudine, I hope you are enjoying reading it :)...Hi Claudine, I hope you are enjoying reading it :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-27637278283001906392016-05-22T11:47:42.895+01:002016-05-22T11:47:42.895+01:00There never is enough time for all the books we wa...There never is enough time for all the books we want to read is there, Sheila!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-66160447606775569102016-05-22T11:46:25.195+01:002016-05-22T11:46:25.195+01:00Hi Laura, thanks for your comment.

It was obvious that she knew the book inside out, and so many characters that were only briefly mentioned in the book were fleshed out to be very real. I very much enjoyed this pair of books.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-60939758099081363922016-05-22T11:44:03.134+01:002016-05-22T11:44:03.134+01:00Hi Carole!

The letters were quite short but they were so funny that they were a real highlight of this book for me. <br /><br />There are some books that I have been meaning to read for so long and over time they slip my mind, so I was glad to be reminded that I wanted to read this pair.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-60573968019795601352016-05-22T11:40:18.804+01:002016-05-22T11:40:18.804+01:00I hope you enjoy it when you read it, Sophia.

Yes, Knightley's decision at the end didn't really seem in character for me, but he reconsiders his course of action in the beginning of book 2 due to the possible difficulties that could be caused. I hope that you enjoy book 2 if you read it :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-86190242997351529952016-05-22T11:36:43.535+01:002016-05-22T11:36:43.535+01:00I know that feeling, Vesper, we'll never get t...I know that feeling, Vesper, we'll never get to read all the books on our lists!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-76653540456446903982016-05-21T17:59:02.538+01:002016-05-21T17:59:02.538+01:00I love this series and I dearly love Mr. Knightley...I love this series and I dearly love Mr. Knightley!

Having just defended Mr K(far and away my favorite hero) in a blog post and in online comments, I really felt annoyed with the ending in this book and this reread. I even put aside my reread of book two for that reason and others(a wave of book club books and new releases outside the JAFF world). As you will be reviewing book two soon, I might give it another go.
