It's hard to figure out sometimes if you think a book is bad if it fell below your expectations. Was it bad? Or did it just not live up to your expectations? These are questions I have a harder time answering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-13546640119459976052010-12-03T19:37:45.315-05:002010-12-03T19:37:45.315-05:00I'll admit to being a bit leery about this one...I'll admit to being a bit leery about this one.

I can't remember the title right now, but I read a surprisingly fantastic book about a woman exploring baths around the world that really incorporated some adventurous travelogue themes.
