Leaving Somaria was more literary and serious; ain't no's is comedic and chic litty. <BR/><BR/>Not saying I don't chick lit, Mary G :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932082084523211319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9945723.post-1127393682492414972005-09-22T08:54:00.000-04:002005-09-22T08:54:00.000-04:00A bookclub, huh?

When y'all get ready to put it to my books, I'll be here taking notes...and sniffling.

The first was Passing by Samaria and I so thoroughly enjoyed that one (read it in like 2 days), that I had built up a certain expectation for Ain't No Valley. <BR/><BR/>I did read the first few chapters of Ain't No Valley, and I just did not connect with the characters and their stories as I did with Passing by Samaria. And I think the biggest hurdle for me in the very beginning, was trying to imagine a sistah who's a dentist giving up her whole career (even if she doesn't care for it all that much), to be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I was spoiled by reading Passing by Samaria first. Sharon set the bar so high for me with that novel, that it really felt like someone else had written Ain't No Valley.La Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649169422462139557noreply@blogger.com
