When I started reading this book I understood that it's not the coincidence that it has this title. So I'll share a poem, which is extremely dear to me and from which, I assume, this title is taken from:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Until the next time,
Whose woods these are I think I know.His house is in the village though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound’s the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.
I have always loved Frost's poems, so beautiful. I think I need to read this one.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI totally agree :)
IzbrišiOh, I do love this poem. That's cool that the title came from it; I assume so too...as it would be a very big coincidence if not. haha
OdgovoriIzbrišiLOL Yeah and the story itself is connected with poetry :)
IzbrišiOh it's nice, I confess that I didn't know the book.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll give it a try :)
IzbrišiBeautiful!

Glad you like it, Mands :)
IzbrišiI first though you were going to speak about " Lovely, Dark and deep" by susannah sandlin ( aka suzanne johnson) it's so strange to find book so different with the same title
OdgovoriIzbrišiI have heard of that one too! But this one is quite different I believe :)
IzbrišiOhh, I love this poem. It's been a favorite of mine for years and thanks for reminding me to bump this book up on my TBR -- I really need to read it!(:
OdgovoriIzbrišiOh I'm so happy to hear that. I hope you'll read it soon, Keertana :)
IzbrišiI don't read much verse books but I can appreciate that's beautiful
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad you like it :)
IzbrišiLove that poem Tanja! It's one of the few poems I remember studying in school and one I actually understood:) Poetry was never my strong suit. Looking forward to reading the beautiful book!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThat's the point! :D This one I understood even before we discussed it which is a huge deal :D Thanks :)
IzbrišiIve always loved this poem as well. Thank you for sharing, Tanja!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad to hear that, Andrea :)
IzbrišiI've not read the book, but I do remember reading some of Frost's poems back in high school. I liked this one :) Great post Tanja!

Glad to hear that, Janina :)
IzbrišiI love that poem too. It's really beautiful isn't it? It really gets to you. I love Frost, he always writes the most gorgeous poems that really make you think.

He is indeed. Thanks Terri :)
IzbrišiOh friend of my heart..I adore Frost and love this poem. It is one of my favorites.
OdgovoriIzbrišiGreat minds think alike dear ;)
IzbrišiOoh! Nice teaser (: ~ I'm pretty sure you are correct that the title is from the Robert Frost poem which was really lovely. I usually don't read many poems because they are always so complicated but this one was really nice.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI didn't read them either, but now at college I had to :) I started to enjoy them. Thanks :)
IzbrišiThat's one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost - I'm so back and forth with poetry and I've come to realize that some poets work for me and others don't. Frost definitely does!
OdgovoriIzbrišiSame for me!! :) Thanks :)
IzbrišiThat is a beautiful poem and I love the sound of this book. Thanks for sharing!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad to hear that. Thanks :)
IzbrišiI am with you on your opinion on poetry. My brain is poor too and never seems to get poetry. That is a really nice poem and I'm sure it's the inspiration for the book title. Thank you for sharing, girl!
OdgovoriIzbrišiSarika @ The Readdicts
It is. I got it later when I read the book ;) Thanks, Sarika :)
IzbrišiI adore that poem, it's always been one of my favorites! I just now put together that title with the poem, I can' t believe I never noticed it before. Lovely post, thanks for sharing!
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt's mine too!! :)) Thanks, Lauren :)
IzbrišiAh, I have heard of this poem before! It's a pretty famous one and I remember that we studied it a little bit in our English classes among some more of his works. Nice job on sharing it. I write poetry and read it too, loving it because it can be exactly as the title says - lovely, dark or deep. Just gotta look closely ;)
