Barbour ARC's always have formatting issues but not so the end product. <br /><br />Don't you hate when the ending ends abruptly. The last novella I read did the same I reread it several times to see if I had missed something but no, I think it assumes I know the answer.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-38361433464206307252017-07-27T14:30:33.801+10:002017-07-27T14:30:33.801+10:00It's the first time I used NetGalley so I will...It's the first time I used NetGalley so I will keep that in mind for future reviews. <br /><br />Hi Ian, it's the first time I had heard of Lisa but I enjoyed her book greatly so I will be reading her other ones soon.

They valued long faces as spiritual one-upmanship on the ignorant masses.<br />I always looked on joy as being the deep down emotion while happiness spills over to those around us. And we sure need them today!<br />Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-23303340716223089122017-07-27T06:42:11.473+10:002017-07-27T06:42:11.473+10:00Happiness vs. joy ... an interesting concept or qu...Happiness vs. joy ... an interesting concept or question. And I like the reminder that God has a sense of humour. Great review!<br /><br />As an aside, I often find formatting issues with NetGalley books. I think it's because while I'm reading it on a Kindle, it's not a true Kindle (mobi) file, but a pdf that's gone through a rough conversion. It can make the reading difficult at times!Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.com
