Hi Janine – Thanks. I never realised until now there was a difference between WP.org and WP.com. Yours is a beautiful design, and the plug-in is a great idea.

I’m busy compiling a database of reviews for the new AWW site (it’ll be shifting to WP.com soon). I realise you’ve reviewed quite a few books for the challenge, but FFT is the only one of them I’ve read. I hope to get back and comment on the others when I’ve worked my way through my “to be read” pile. Floundering is one I have on my list.

My blog is on wordpress.org (not wordpress.com). It’s a custom design. The Comment Luv is a plug in that you can use on wp.org. (Although I couldn’t get it to work until I disabled the Jetpack comments). I like that comment luv helps to give everyone with a blog a little bit of publicity.

I just finished commenting on your comment when I received this! Thank you.

I love your website. I haven’t seen the “prompt” to add my own recent posts on other blogs. As I’d also recently reviewed Fishing For Tigers, I guessed you’d be interested. It’s a useful gagdet for creating conversations.

Which platform do you use to power your blog? (Or is it custom?)

Thank you for stopping by – love your review of the same book – much more in depth than mine! I’m glad to hear other member’s of your book club had the same concerns as me, maybe I’m not a complete fuddy duddy after all!

I read it because of my book group, too, and was surprised when several members mentioned that they wouldn’t have picked it up if it hadn’t been a book group choice, because of the back cover copy mentioning the affair. (I didn’t read it!)

I agree – it’s beautifully written and evokes a strong sense of place. Your sense of a possible difference in feeling between sleeping with a male friend’s son and a female friend’s son is very intriguing. I’ll have to think more on that.
