This was my first experience with WOW, but I have another tour scheduled later this month and that book came in traditional form. I imagine it depends on the author which format you'll get?

Have you read Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen series? Besides the yummy recipes (which I can personally vouch for) they're also good stories. Hannah owns an ex-alley cat named Moishe who is one of my favorite characters. I'll keep a lookout for these books!Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57823623881923144852008-11-06T07:06:00.000-08:002008-11-06T07:06:00.000-08:00My two cents are like several others' -- I don't l...My two cents are like several others' -- I don't like to read a book on a screen, since I sit in front of a computer all day as it is. I'm not usually a cozy fan, but this one sounds appealing since it sounds like it is a little sassier than most cozies. And, since the rains have started here in Oregon, it will be perfect for a Thanksgiving weekend read. Maybe I'll give it to my single sister who just turned 40 and is in a dead end job . . .Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-15215037371579692052008-11-05T20:17:00.000-08:002008-11-05T20:17:00.000-08:00Kathy - It is a fun read.

It's also a quick read, which is nice when you are in the mood for something like that.<BR/><BR/><B>Sylvie</B> - It's too awkward, sitting and reading an entire novel at a computer. I think if I had a Kindle or Sony Reader, it would be a different story.<BR/><BR/><B>Iliana</B> - I thought it would be a good one to start my review off with. :-) It's actually a good one for Thanksgiving too as it's set around that time period--I should have mentioned that in my review. <BR/><BR/><B>April</B> - I don't read a lot of cozies, but they sure do hit the right spot sometimes. <BR/><BR/><B>Serena</B> - Doesn't it though? The descriptions of the cakes Daphne put together sounded so delicious. I wish she was real and lived next door to me! <BR/><BR/><B>Shana</B> - Oh! I'm sorry! I should be careful about slinging the lingo around without more carefully defining it.<BR/><BR/><B>Vickie</B> - It seemed easier that way. I even took notes in the margin to remind myself of certain points later, something I don't usually do in actual printed books. I do hope Gayle continues with the character. It would make a fun series. <BR/><BR/><B>Melody</B> - It's a great cover, isn't it? <BR/><BR/><B>Angela</B> - Thank you so much! That is so nice of you to say. Now I'm blushing. :-) <BR/><BR/>I'm really glad you brought this book to my attention. I don't always gravitate towards cozy mysteries unless they come recommended, and this one turned out to be a lot of fun. <BR/><BR/><B>Alice</B> - I'll send you all the e-books I need printed out so you can bind them for me. ;-) I don't actually have any others, but when I get them in the future.
