That's high praise from a discriminating reader and writer such as you! I'm glad I saved you the time of reading this book. However, I was amazed at the comments on Facebook about married people who started communicating more after reading 50 Shades. Interesting!Gail Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726375184279652836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073447958804898856.post-19692240262785241262012-09-19T07:04:15.597-07:002012-09-19T07:04:15.597-07:00Gail, loved this!

I wonder how the term bespoke came to mean that! <br /><br />Tell me about "Between Shades of Gray."<br /><br />I love nonfiction so much that I'm thinking of only reading it in the future. Have you read "The Tiger"???Gail Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726375184279652836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073447958804898856.post-54286987859990461172012-09-14T19:02:35.543-07:002012-09-14T19:02:35.543-07:00Great review, Gail!

I sure as hell never wanted to read the book, and when I saw that you had written a review of it, I had to stop for a moment and think whether I wanted to read even that!<br /><br />But, of course, it being YOU who wrote the review, I went for it - and here I am. <br /><br />Bespoke means made to order, btw. Living in Toronto and environs, a lot of those expressions are common to me, especially since my best friend is British - who's always 'collecting' and 'sorting' things) - and yet a coffee drinker.<br /><br />I'd hate to run across those steepling fingers, too! (I don't know which phraseology I wince at most: that or "she padded in"). Good point about the subconscious!<br /><br />A book that is SO worth reading, and which many - in the beginning of this madness - mistook for Fifty Shades, is "Between Shades of Gray". <br /><br />I can only be thankful for the smutty "Gray" book for boosting the sales of "Between...". Now there's a tale from reality that's worth one's time.<br /><br />nurturinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035395856164817422noreply@blogger.com
