I have not read his books but my husband has. I have to go through all our books and give many away before we move – I won’t give Mr. Conroy’s books away now, so that I can read them later. He was much loved around here.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-70814540262604378872016-03-15T18:56:10.509+10:002016-03-15T18:56:10.509+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870039507877612461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-26065194838097587132016-03-15T07:45:02.411+10:002016-03-15T07:45:02.411+10:00His prose seems quite poetic, although I haven'...His prose seems quite poetic, although I haven't yet read a book by him.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-67770995534324521912016-03-14T23:16:16.139+10:002016-03-14T23:16:16.139+10:00Hi, Denise, thanks for this lovely share.

This excerpt was a gorgeous piece of writing. I love his advice, too: "You have to finish things." I have a lot of unfinished pieces that makes me want to finish.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-52451642327038844932016-03-12T23:12:20.202+10:002016-03-12T23:12:20.202+10:00I'm so sorry to hear that one of your writing ...I'm so sorry to hear that one of your writing idols died.

In fact, I don't remember the title! Whatever it was, it just wasn't my kind of book...at least at that time. I have so many authors I still want to read, I don't know if I'll ever try Conroy again. I'm glad you enjoyed his work so much, though.

Probably won't see it for a day or two. Since Amazon is being annoying and deleting reviews that they imagine are not legitimate, I also posted it on my blog. I gave you 4 stars because it was great but there was also some head hopping between the two vamps. <br />NancyN. R.
