He never understood the need for it. I think you are right about how forward moving we have been in technology and yet moved backwards when it comes to actual face to face socialization. <br /><br />I hope you like this one if you read it, Melody!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-51752834596337020092015-11-16T14:32:19.581-08:002015-11-16T14:32:19.581-08:00Kathy - I love the sound of your neighborhood, Kat...Kathy - I love the sound of your neighborhood, Kathy!

I'll stop and chat if a neighbor initiates it, but other than that, I keep to myself. I do think though that there has been a shift in our society as well to being more closed off. <br /><br />I thought that too about the cover!

I remember during my childhood days we didn't even have to lock our doors and the neighbours seemed to know everyone within our community. I think it is sad; our technologies keep on improving but human relations have gone backwards instead. <br /><br />I'll definitely add this to my wishlist since I've enjoyed reading her other books so much.

Neighborhoods aren't the communities that they were in the past and there are lots of reasons for this, but still it is sad.<br /><br />I haven't read any of Haynes' books, but I'm adding this author to my list.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-32154347079335794002015-11-16T05:33:01.023-08:002015-11-16T05:33:01.023-08:00My neighborhood is like yours, at least from my pe...My neighborhood is like yours, at least from my perspective. I think it is because my husband and I are both introverts and simply like to keep to ourselves. I've always assumed it was just my personality, not so much that people aren't as friendly or open with neighbors as they used to be.... <br /><br />The cover of that book reminds me of Let the Right One In.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.com
