Terry can’t help but straighten everything – even in shops! Post Office counters drive him nuts because the staff put information sheets out for customers, but they are never in neat piles – or at least; they aren’t when we arrive!!! <br />With me, its cushions, books, mugs, anything that ‘should’ face one way or be in a neat line. My kitchen cupboards are a marvel to behold – but it drives me insane if anyone puts anything in with a handle pointing the ‘wrong’ way.<br />Anyway all that aside, I really enjoyed your review Tracy, and I’ve just clicked on your link and ordered a copy via Amazon (I hope you get a penny or two because I ordered via your blog?)<br />I would be interested to know if it’s worth linking to Amazon (from your point of view), I tried it on my family history blog, but to date I’ve received nothing from them – which I assume means nobody has ordered anything? <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-21502967988300009452016-05-06T04:05:17.935+01:002016-05-06T04:05:17.935+01:00Oh wow, sounds good then!

I can see so much of myself in this post, that I'm not sure whether I should be reading it or not!<br /><br />Hubbie has learned to live with my stock rotated cupboards, with the labels all facing the front.<br /><br />Never allowing a toilet roll to run out completely before replacing it.<br /><br />etc. etc. the list goes on and the memorable moment you quote from, only serves to re-inforce my beliefs.<br /><br />I would probably have much the same reservations as yourself about reading this book, however unlike yourself, I can't see me giving in, not when I already have so many books in my TBR pile.<br /><br />Another great review, which offers the reader all the salient and relevant points, clearly and concisely.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-9732890938404418412016-05-05T20:53:19.714+01:002016-05-05T20:53:19.714+01:00What a great review and you've convinced me to...What a great review and you've convinced me to add it to my wish list. I've always been a bit fascinated with OCD and my "doctor brother" has said he believes many of us have mild forms. I know two of my kids and I do. Mine's certainly not so severe as to disrupt my life, but it does "intrude" a little at times. <br /><br />Off now to look for this at Amazon...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-52758015004925967322016-05-05T19:55:01.572+01:002016-05-05T19:55:01.572+01:00Tracy, thank you so much for this amazing review -...Tracy, thank you so much for this amazing review - I'm delighted that you enjoyed my novel.
