I tried to leave a comment for you in our original convo about it on goodreads, but I must've done it wrong. <br /><br />I kept hearing that the Elizabeth Gilbert book <b>was not</b> Eat, Pray, Love so I tried to go into it with an open mind and lower expectations, but I was still disappointed. And it could've easily been about 200 pages shorter. Oh well. Plenty of people love it though, so maybe you'll see something in it that I missed. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-9738966184585249722014-02-01T20:38:38.361-05:002014-02-01T20:38:38.361-05:00Indeed!

Everyone else is ripping him off, not the other way around!<br /><br />What a good month of books, though! Looking forward to the Elizabeth Gilbert and have been meaning to read These is My Words forever. I really loved Feathers, too.
