I did something similar when it was time for university (I took more than a year in fact, and I did a mix of "nothing" and then work, before finally going back to university). I feel I could relate to Cecily, at least a little. :)kay - Infinite Shelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227285073921171393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-9186765215160847982009-08-01T13:08:07.723+02:002009-08-01T13:08:07.723+02:00NIce review -- I hadn't heard of this book bef...NIce review -- I hadn't heard of this book before.

I pushed right from one to the other and don't regret it, but I can see the appeal of taking some time off to do other things. I've had the money, I would have loved to travel! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the great review -- going to add this one to my wishlist!

I wonder how some books get published.<br /><br />I took three years between high school and college to work, finally figured out what I wanted to do, went to college with my boyfriend, broke up with boyfriend who turned out to be a loser, and changed my major after my freshman year because what I wanted to do turned out to not really be what I wanted to do.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906363450397019069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-79637984860721750412009-07-30T16:56:37.210+02:002009-07-30T16:56:37.210+02:00You make me feel curious about this book.
