It's too bad, because I thought the setting and the idea to imagine the life of a saint was original and had a lot of potential.DoingDeweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902496432225294188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-28753888196088621022013-08-06T20:17:48.029-04:002013-08-06T20:17:48.029-04:00Thanks for having me, as always, Heather :)Thanks for having me, as always, Heather :)guiltlessreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966826359454179677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-30964466348601490632013-08-06T20:17:27.635-04:002013-08-06T20:17:27.635-04:00I don't know anything about her which is proba...I don't know anything about her which is probably why I was expecting something more ...guiltlessreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966826359454179677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-82877032566930438322013-08-01T20:58:27.883-04:002013-08-01T20:58:27.883-04:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book for ...Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book for the tour.Heather J @ TLC Book Tourshttp://tlcbooktours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-84829489587542646452013-07-31T22:50:09.505-04:002013-07-31T22:50:09.505-04:00as we know about nothing really on Saint Xenia, I ...as we know about nothing really on Saint Xenia, I believe the author did a great job at filling the gaps.
