Love Letters

Love Letters by Katie Fforde

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Romantic. Hilarious. Absurd. Witty. I love Katie Fforde's novel - always guaranteed many giggles and laughs. Shy Laura had a wonderful job at the local bookshop, didn't pay much, but she loved her job. As the bookshop prepares to close, to tide her over until she finds a new job, Laura uncharacteristically, agrees to chair a literary festival. There was one author, a sexy, reclusive Irish writer named Dermot Flynn whose works Laura loved since her college days, and Laura is hopeful that he will lead the festival. So she takes off for Ireland to try and persuade Dermot, while keeping her romantic thoughts and wits about her. The events that follow are bound to make you laugh out loud.

LitLovers

Oooh, I like this site. LitLovers claims: We are an online community dedicated to books and book clubs—because both enrich our lives. We've got great resources to enhance your book club experience. Whether you're selecting books, or thinking & talking about them, LitLovers is the place to come.

Unfortunately, under LitClub there wasn't any discussion on "The Shack" (it's brand new tho)so I checked out "The Kite Runner." Lots of good reviews and discussion questions. LitCourse was pretty cool - they're courses to deepen your understanding—and enjoyment—of fiction. For the LitCourse, I chose Literature Matters. When I read, "We need literature— because we can never live enough to investigate all of life on our own" I thought to myself - that is the truth. There is even a quiz at the end for fun to see what you've learned. LitLovers claim that each 30-minute LitCourse is comparable to a freshman level college class—but no grades, no tests, no papers. LitBlog is a great place to blog & comment. LitFun includes LitKids, LitFood, and LitFlicks. LitFlicks covers books adapted to film. I actually printed out book discussion for Teens, with having Teen Read Week already upon us.

Great site, I bookmarked it and will add to my Del.icio.us as well.
