It's never too late to learn to sew! I'm still thinking about guitar lessons:)<br /><br />Cheryl and Songbird, I understand your concern about the subject matter. It's hard to explain, but the beginning is rather vague, so by the time you realize what Maggie intends, you also know that she'll never go through with it. But humor is subjective and certainly not every book appeals to everyone.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your comments and compliments on the Kindle cover. I've since received a leather cover as a gift--not sure I like it, except it has a retractable reading light with it, which I definitely like!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-91655244805196630132011-04-08T19:37:08.735-05:002011-04-08T19:37:08.735-05:00I must read Fried Green Tomatoes.

Somebody was going to end his life, but the preacher just happened to walk by and pay a visit. Of course he couldn't go through with it and on and on. It was really done as a comedy and focused on silly details, like a chicken popping out from nowhere to confuse the issue.<br /><br />Anyway, love your daffys. And wow, I'm impressed with your kindle cover. You go girl!<br />Happy gardening and reading.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-4244734330046561712011-04-08T12:05:06.454-05:002011-04-08T12:05:06.454-05:00And incidentally the book of Fried Green Tomatoes ...And incidentally the book of Fried Green Tomatoes was MUCH better than the film.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-58064836889679559832011-04-08T12:04:07.846-05:002011-04-08T12:04:07.846-05:00I shall look out for that.

It sounds like it will be just as satisfying as Fried Green Tomatoes. The only weird thing I noticed in that story (at least the movie; I didn't read the book) was the product "endorsement"--Mary Kay cosmetics. Was this novel selling anything? <br /><br />Beautiful work on that Kindle cover, Rose. I am so jealous of people who know how to sew.
