But they don't say so to my face. I don't think I get enough reading in! Thanks for this review (and for linking to mine!). I did think it was a fun little story to reread someday.

I think sometimes they just scratch their heads and other times are glad it occupies me. Go figure. I tend to feel they know not what they are missing out on. Thanks for the mention, by the way. :) Michele @ A Reader's Respite I’m the only person in my family who reads constantly and such varied content.

My extended family and my husband and children are all readers, so there's never been any conflict with reading and interacting. I don't think I'd ever considered what life would be like if that were not the case! Great review! I liked this book, too.
