Rebecca - I admit that I don't read novellas as often as I read single titles - mostly because when I fall in love with a character I want to spend LOTS of time with them...novellas always feel too short. <br /><br />And wow - 2nd person. I can't come up with any books I've read lately in 2nd. I'm going to have to make a point of finding one!Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-9636889926155774402010-12-08T12:02:23.896-05:002010-12-08T12:02:23.896-05:00Thanks for the great comments.

Ugly, heavy rocks that don't do anything for the garden. They've been cleaning up today, and it's driving me crazy that I can't go out and beautify the view.

I love a good novella and really admire if an author can convince me that a couple is falling in love in such a short format.<br /><br />I've read a few books in 2nd person, too and it can really work if it's purposeful. I read one a few years ago that was a Victorian set sexual awakening story... It made sense to me because the heroine was (in my mind) using 2nd person to detach herself from the things she was doing... <br /><br />Danielle Younge-Ullman's debut FALLING UNDER was mostly in 1st person, but had childhood flashbacks in 2nd person that were very effective, I thought.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-35454770601034849962010-12-08T11:38:39.370-05:002010-12-08T11:38:39.370-05:00Good morning, Rebecca, first I have to say I'v...Good morning, Rebecca, first I have to say I've been a fan of your work forever, and second I never new you were dyslexic. How fortunate you were to have a mother to take that disability (for lack of a better word) and turn it into a positive. <br /><br />Also, I fully concur on your definition of thrillers. It's a sexy name for suspense. And you do both well.

Thanks for joining us at Get Lost in a Story today :) <br /><br />I think it's fascinating that on top of your very prolific fiction career, you've also written 15 cookbooks! Incredible. I also laughed when I read that your garden was full of rocks that you've collected...mine is full of rocks, too. Sadly, not that I've collected but because I'm a horrific gardner who finally gave up and had river stones placed in all of my plant beds in lieu of flowers. I do have one rock in the garden that holds meaning. It's a stone my mom bought for me. It says "I tried, but it died."<br /><br />As for novels vs. novellas, I haven't read enough novellas to know...though Cat makes a good point. Maybe I should try more because I might actually have time to finish them :)<br /><br />Thanks again for coming by!Heather Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658143507115401865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-5931837801835208622010-12-08T10:30:07.075-05:002010-12-08T10:30:07.075-05:00Good morning, Ruth, and welcome to Get Lost.

Ramsey sounds like "my" kind of hero. I love a knight in shining armor who can't leave the girl.<br /><br />As for Novellas vs Novels? I haven't really tried many novellas. I like to get lost in the story for longer than the story lasts...so I tend to choose very thick books. My mother read to me when I was very young, but I soon became too independent and began reading above my grade level. Reading was very private (get lost) time for me...still is.<br /><br />But now that I'm so darn busy...I might just have to give novellas a try.<br /><br />~~AngiAngi Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568009648101184027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-85311835501381242122010-12-08T09:13:21.142-05:002010-12-08T09:13:21.142-05:00My parents read to me a lot when I was growing up....My parents read to me a lot when I was growing up.

I love it, probably because my mom read to me so much when I couldn't read well myself. <br /><br />I think novellas are hard to write and many people don't have the skill. <br /><br />RebeccaRebecca Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868406006575223127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-18400647385689331412010-12-08T07:20:37.147-05:002010-12-08T07:20:37.147-05:00Ruth, thanks for joining us here today.

I use my eyes too much all day. It's nice to give them a break.<br /><br />Your book sounds fascinating. I've always had a soft spot for archeologists. I think it would be amazing to discover things about people who've been dead thousands of years.<br /><br />Until recently I hadn't read a lot of novellas, but I found I liked the shorter length because I could finish something in a single setting. And for me, finishing anything is a major accomplishment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663703767093923242noreply@blogger.com
