So far, she is not impressed.

I really...Yes, I am slowly working my way through. I really did not care for The Dark Frigate at all. I think what kept me with it was that I was listening to it on audio. I think this made it more palatable. I can't imagine children enjoying it. I am just starting Splendors and Glooms tonight. I hope I like it. <br />Cheers!Gigi McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090843830125090541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-90503643799210386102013-02-25T06:29:26.572-08:002013-02-25T06:29:26.572-08:00I did enjoy 12 kinds of ice.

It's been the only one I've abandoned to date. :( I'm working my way forward (very slowly!) and am now soon to start Call it Courage (1941). And what did you think of Splendor and Glooms? Intriguing and well crafted, but I too am trying to think of kids who'd stick with it. Have a great week!<br /><br />--LornaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-32714993848045738082013-02-25T05:58:55.580-08:002013-02-25T05:58:55.580-08:00I would love to read Splendors and Glooms but what...I would love to read Splendors and Glooms but what happens is a little too creepy for me, but I hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else I know who read it.
