Simply because there are times when the brain wants to take a break, and what better than reading chick lit.<br /><br />And since I looked at EPL as chick lit, I rather liked it.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-29403944751349564062011-03-08T04:41:17.658+00:002011-03-08T04:41:17.658+00:00It's like food... if we eat healthy all the ti...It's like food... if we eat healthy all the time, it's just boring.

Although he was a bad father, I really wish he could have met his grandchildren and seen just how well they have grown up. <br /><br />Words do take you there. For me it's always the lyrics of a great sad but insightful song. Great post!<br /><br />*glomps*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994415353101258592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-26569178239701160372011-03-07T14:26:26.169+00:002011-03-07T14:26:26.169+00:00Hi dear goils, yes...sometimes something too compl...Hi dear goils, yes...sometimes something too complicated or heartfelt is just that and you need to read for a good old-fashioned shallow book!Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-26450034426968279992011-03-07T13:59:31.208+00:002011-03-07T13:59:31.208+00:00Ah, yes, I agree.

Sometimes you want happy music to cheer you up. But sometimes you would rather have sad music, to make you even sadder. We are weird that way, humans.

Cozy mysteries are usually light enough... or maybe something like a Tom Robbins playful mind-bender.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.com
