About my libraryIn the Spring of 2006, we moved from one end of the country to practically the other and there is only so much that will fit on a moving truck. I had to get rid of a lifetime of books, keeping only a select few. I'm slowly re-stocking my library, replacing the books I gave away and finding new ones.

I also have books listed on BookMooch.

Couldn't resist leaving you a comment, we have a few things in common. I am a 40ish (almost 50ish) homeschooling mom. We have 4 children, two still in school, both boys Our oldest son (3rd in order) also has Aspergers, he is a real treasure. I also have a daughter names Elyza Jean, and our oldest is Madelyne Jane. Thought the name thing was intresting. My daughter Madelyne, has books listed on Paperback Swap, a great place to get books.
Have a great day

LOL--well, you got me there! I haven't read A Dirty Job yet, but I've heard good things about it. I also have yet to read Lamb (gasp--can you believe a Moore fan who hasn't yet read that?) I'm glad you took my review for what it was meant to be, just a laugh and nothing serious. Some of my best friends are Republicans and I hold no ill will against them. :)

Thanks! I see that you've just given Inigo permission to post your reviews, so I will have to go read yours as well!
Reading in alphabetical order is kind of cool. There are a lot of books I own but have been putting off reading because there's always something new to read. I would have missed out on quite a few treasures if I hadn't started doing this!

Thank you, Nicola. Your reviews (reviews 62, 77, 84, 99, 109, 136, 141, 163, 201) make a big dent in the gaps.

Oh, I didn't think you'd left because of any time taken. It took me a year to review a 200 page book. I thought you'd left because the name ElizaJane isn't in the Group Zeitgeist members list. Huh. Weird. Glad to hear it's not the case. I enjoy your reviews very much and maintaining the wiki page means I'm more likely to read them more often.

Hi, Nicola. I know you've left but on Go Review That Book!, I've created a group Wiki page to keep track of the progress of the game and the reviews that have been generated. Some may find it easier to read the reviews by having them in one handy place. There's a discussion thread in the group and this is the first Wiki page if you are interested in having a look. To avoid any difficulties with copyright, I'm seeking your consent to add your reviews to the group Wiki page.

I was so glad to find someone that was reading children's literatur. I pre-read all literature that goes throught he hands of my 9 year old grand daughter. As she is not home schooled, she is in a very fine Christian Private School and we are very protective of what she reads. I hope I can continue to find your library for suggestions.

I came because I used to be the sole possessor of John Patience's "A fairy tale treasure trove", and now it is you and I..I'm embarrassed though, I don't recognise any of your favourite authors, bar Agatha Christie. I'm surprised you got rid of so many books, although I'm always grateful when people I know do similar give-aways- it's how I got so many old classics. Couldn't you have got an extra van??

If you enjoyed Peter Carey's take on our Ned, have a look at Ian Jones's biography, beautifully written and thoroughly researched. I reviewed it on my site a few weeks back.

While many folks feel that Carey got the tone and the lilt of Ned's speech patterns just right, some aspects of the novel were dramatically licentious in the extreme - the disturbing role of transvestism, which, if it ever occurred at all, was for the purposes of disguise rather than titillation, and the existence of a daughter. Still, the book is a novel and is marketed as such, so Carey could put in whatever he liked. I feel the true story is much more interesting.

You may care to check out the best websites on Ned, such as Ironoutlaw, and Kellycountry2000. The Public Record Office of Victoria has put the original documents - thousands of them - dealing with the Kelly episode on the net as well.

Thanks for the pick on Go Review That Book! - I'd been in the mood for some fantasy, and The Summer Tree will do nicely. I've read three other of Kay's books, and can't recommend them highly enough. He's a fantastic writer, and his books are very absorbing. I'd start with Tigana or The Lions of Al-Rassan - although I'll let you know what I think about The Summer Tree! :)

I also really enjoyed your review of The True History of the Kelly Gang. It's coincidental timing... my hand was hovering above it this morning at a used book store, and I watched the movie Ned Kelly a few days ago. The movie wasn't fantastic (strange pacing, mostly), but I'll have to add the book onto my every-growing wishlist.

Thanks for the comment! I'll be adding more over the coming weeks, until I catch up with all of my previous or "prewritten" reviews...then I have practically a years worth of reviews to catch up on. This site it my incentive, as I promised myself I wouldn't post any book that I have not written a review for. :-)

Have a great weekend!

Hi Nicola,

My name is Dawn and I am a librarian and the host of Toronto Public Library’s online book club: Book Buzz and a fellow LibraryThing member.

This month we are reading Inside, by Kenneth J Harvey I noticed that you include Inside in your library and I’d just like to invite you to visit us and share your thoughts about Harvey’s book. It’s a friendly easy-going book club with over 500 members and we are always looking for new points of view.

If you are interested, visit us at http://bookbuzz.torontopubliclibrary.ca .

Thank-you for your time,
Dawn

Your 50 Book Challenge entries are great - I really like how you post your thoughts about each book that you read. I should do that more often!

I know what you mean about moving. Most of my major book culls have been because of moves. My last one (three years ago) cleared out about 20 percent of my collection and there are still some books I regret giving up and am trying to replace.

On another note, you have one of the few Catherine Anthony Clark books on librarything. They are hard to find!

You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I went to the bookstore yesterday to pick up The Other Side of the Bridge, but they didn't have it!! Argh! I've ordered it on-line, hopefully it'll come soon. So many good books on my TBR pile :-)

Hi, you added me to your "interesting libraries" list and I came over to check you out...guess you have an instinct - I am also a homeschooler, now in grad school studying library science!

I just wanted to say hi to another Pearl S. Buck fan...there are only 9 of us as of yet. :D Everyone else just doesn't know what they are missing!

posted by annabethblue at 4:21 pm (EST) on Jul 23, 2007

Thanks for the interesting library add, ElizaJane :-). It's interesting... I am also a homeschooler (all the way from kindergarten through graduation). When my husband and I have children we will be homeschooling them as well. Nice to meet another homeschooler around these parts! :-)
