About meThanks so much for stopping by: I love my kid, reading, my husband, reading, the autumn, the classics,art,reading,hot chocolate,fireplaces,the view from my window (see profile pic) and did I say reading. Oh yes, and my two cats, Peanut and Mittens. Retirement is about working when you want, reading a book when you get the urge or having a beer in the middle of the afternoon.

About my libraryA little bit of this and a little bit of that. I enjoy reading the classics.I don't usually look for a specific genre I just want a good, thought provoking book or one just for fun. I usually set books free which I've enjoyed but will not reread and those I really do not like. My library consists of books I absolutely adore and will reread and books I have yet to read.

NTI Upstream wants to let you know that your author signed Advanced Readers Copy of Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq (for your participation in the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program) has been shipped and should arrive shortly.
Bestselling author (Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality) and NY Times columnist Pauline Chen praises the work as “powerful, thought-provoking, and unforgettable…” In Chen’s words, after reading Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq, “You will never again look at the Iraq war—or any war for that matter—in quite the same way.”
We hope you enjoy Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq and look forward to your comments. For further information, please visit the official website http://www.coppolathebook.com
Thank you,

I appreciate the time and trouble you took to share your feelings with me. That matters a great deal. I like people and I think it is important for people to feel good about themselves. Also I tend to write like I think and talk so sometimes it has gotten me into trouble, but I just go with the flow.
Thank you very much my dear.
You made my day.
hugs,

Thanks for stopping by. And, thanks for the offer of the book. It does sound like something I would like. Thanks for your kind offer to send it when you are finished.
The PA fall is warm this year. The grass is still growing and needing to be moved and tonight I walked my dog and I didn't need to wear a sweater.
Take care,
Linda

So, the fantasy books and the old Alfred Hitchcock books stand in strange opposition to some of the newer additions!

The read will be on the 50 book gig in November and you will hear more as the time draws near.
Thank you for taking the time to get back with me.

Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

I just wanted to pop over and say hello and how R U n "stuffs" like that.
Is that a new profile pic? She is lovely.
You have recently added 4 books to your library that I want to read. "The Memory Keeper's Daughter", "Utopia", "Under the Persimmon Tree" and "The Corrections", which I have a copy of but have just kind of been too intimidated to begin. You will have to let me know what you think of it as you go.
I hope you have had a lovely day. We had a nice sunny one here and the kids and pup played in the pool for a while. I think I get next week off until Friday as my daughter is taking the elder boy to football camp in Seattle and will take the little one with. Yea!~! I may get some reading time in. It has been tough since they got out of school.
Well, hope to see you on the threads.
