My library is good and all, but the wait for newer books is crazy. I have been doing a bunch of Book Depository giveaways, because I love my international blogging friends, but the international giveaway we did of a book from a con, the winner was in Romania, and the shipping was an arm and a leg. The book I received from Sara Barnard in England? The shipping was more than the cost of the book.

The LIE was not a deal breaker for me, but I know that was something a lot of reviews mentioned as being unforgivable. This was not the romance I thought I was getting, but it was a good piece of women's fiction.

It does look pretty good. Laughed at the cake fail as well. Congrats on winning a Goodreads contest you never entered it's nice you're offering those books out when you know you won't be reading them/already of it. And finally someone who rates The Matchmaker's List similarly to me!

There is a lot of pre-explaining, and it's a sticky situation, which I thought the author handled really well. Not sure about QC at the supermarket. It was just a kid with some icing.
