In reply to Rebecca Reid. I'll lend it to you, if you want! Or of course there's always the lovely Book Depository, which ships free worldwide (how I do not know; I think it is magic).

I really like the sound of this and was adding it to my Women unbound list! until I saw your comment that it’s not in the US. And you’re right — can’t find it. Boo hoo!
🙁

Thanks for a great review anyway. I’m glad for blogging so i won’t be a lonesome mother!

What’s your favorite breed? We pretty much have to get a poodle as my mum and sisters are allergic to regular dogs; fortunately poodles are very sweet, intelligent dogs.

I know the challenge police doesn’t exist. Sort of. But I can’t help feeling like if I don’t finish my challenges, people will shake their heads and think, That Jenny. What a terrible book blogger. 😛

(I’m probably going to end up joining several challenges. I just have to choose which ones and what books.)

Our puppy is getting better about pooping indoors. (Knock wood.) But she hasn’t quite gotten the hang of giving us a clear indication when she wants to go outside for any reason. One of the many reasons I’m glad I no longer live with my parents.

The book’s very sisterhoody – especially when the women are having difficult times. Everyone writes nice, supportive comments in the margins, and it’s very touching.

OH YES I REMEMBER THAT NOW. Oh, Angel and his Jasmine days. You know, I’d completely forgotten, when we named her, that Zoe was called Jasmine in Angel – I saw her in Firefly first, so when we watched Angel we only ever called her Zoe. That’s so funny, and on a bad puppy day kind of apt – we love her devotedly even though she tries to eat us. 😛

PUPPY! puppypuppypuppy!!! I was just told that a puppy of my favorite breed is at the pet store in the mall and I have yet to give it to temptation to go see it. Cuz if I do, that thing is coming home with me. Can. NOT. Go. to. Mall.
sigh
oh! and I will consider this book for the Challenge – thank you for the rec. (you do know, don’t you, that the challenge-police doesn’t really exist, right?)
