Q:  Do you think that overall work morale would be improved by having a "book lunch", sponsored by the company, at least once a month, or perhaps once a week? 

A: In some jobs I could see it being beneficial, but in retail where I work, not a chance. It's a get-in, get-out, kind of situation.

  3. Oooh, 'If You Tell' sounds like a very intense read, but I'm definitely intrigued! And yh, I can see how a retail environment wouldn't really benefit from those kind of things. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

  11. Friday 56: I've heard of Gregg Olsen but I've never owned any of his books.

    BBH: I don't believe a "book lunch" would work. People either eat during the lunches or use that time to do other things, such as paying bills, talking/texting to family, etc..

  12. Ah, so it's a true story? Hope you are finding it interesting.

  13. If You Tell sounds really interesting! The first excerpt you said is heartbreaking.

    I wasn't sure how to answer this week's question. I often read during my lunch breaks at work. I don't know how much interest a work sponsored book break would garner though.

    I hope you have a great weekend, Freda!

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
