Granted, all books were a dollar, but still! I was over the moon. Of course, I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but I will! And I'm glad to hear it's as good as I've been hoping it will be. <br /><br />I like your short reviews - straight and to the point! :)Brie @ A Slice of Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445361407533018855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-20995602989095711622013-03-13T08:33:26.024-05:002013-03-13T08:33:26.024-05:00I jealous you found My Ideal Bookshelf at Half Pri...I jealous you found My Ideal Bookshelf at Half Priced Books!

It really is a great book.<br /><br />I should also mention that I believe I'm in the minority when it comes to my opinion of The Lifeboat. I know a lot of people really liked it.

I should really re-read it again and get caught up in all of Ignatius' dramas. <br /><br />Thanks for the honest review of The Lifeboat - looks that is one book I am definitely going to skip.

For some reason I thought it was, but I do remember you mentioning a while back and then totally forgot about it. It sounds really sweet so I'll have to make a point to get to it this year.
