I hope your thanksgiving was fun and your health is doing better. I have been praying for your treatment and recovery from your illness and I was wondering if you would share an update with all.

I have not seen you in the Bookmooch Tea Room board lately so I thought I would post it here.

Hi Heather, Bad Alice arrived so I have made an angel listing for you here: http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/BM1303188224351377328

I'm a frequent reader, infrequent poster on the BM threads. I recently finished The Eighty-Dollar Champion which I received through Early Reviewers. It's about a horse named Snowman who competed in jumping shows starting in the mid-1950's. It's an Advance Uncorrected Proof, so there are some minor errors in the book which were probably corrected in final editing, and the cover is generic. If I recall correctly, you collect horse books, so I wanted to offer it to you first before posting it to my BM inventory.

Hi Heather,
Thanks for angel-mooching "My Dog Does My Homework". Too bad about "The Giving Tree". I'm sure another copy will pop up eventually. And since it's for my new grand-nephew's library, I have time to search -- it will be some time yet until he's able to read :-)

I just read a bit of your dreamwidth blog (but I can't comment there) about the books about Sheila. I've read the first book, which made me search for other books by Torey Hayden. I haven't been able to find the second book about Sheila yet though, but I do want to read it sometime.

Also, I like your TBR bookcase with labels :)

Heather,

Thanks for your kind response. I discovered really quickly that I had made a mistake and I am sorry for that. I'm new here. My publisher suggested I open an account on Library Thing and I'm glad I did, but I should have taken a little more time to familiarize myself with the rules.

Surprisingly, a number of gay people read my blog, so I was a bit taken aback by the harshness of the comments here. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what I write. Yes, I'm sure we differ in our opinions about sexuality, but primarily my issue has been with the mistreatment and judgment inflicted on people. Hence, the idea of survival.

My other books, "Those Not-So-Still Small Voices," and "Like Father, Like Son (and Daughter, Too), were about family and raising children. Not quite so controversial.

I have offered five copies of the "Surviving" as giveaways and also posted that I would be happy to be interviewed. Perhaps something will come of that.

Thanks again for your very gracious note.

Yay! I'm glad the books arrived. I'm torn about The SL. Part of me doesn't really want it, part of me says it's just for a quick re-read, so condition shouldn't matter. I think as long as all the pages are intact, I will mooch the book. I would really hate to get to the last page and find out that it's not there! Let me know when the books are posted and I will mooch.

Hi Heather,

The book was just published at the end of 2009. It is historical fiction and is based on the life of Elizabeth Bathory told from the point of view of a lady in waiting. It follows her time line and includes many real people she encountered in history. Also, Dandelions In The Garden is book one, there is a sequel coming out this summer, The HIdden Will of the Dragon, which focuses on the second and final part of Elizabeth's life.

Thanks for sending a note and I hope you enjoy the book(s)!

Hi Heather (v good name btw!)

I don't know if you remember but way back at the beginning of January you were looking for someone to angel Behind Closed Doors by Jenny Tomlin from the UK to you. I mooched it from the owner and have been sending reminders, but when I checked today he has been vacationed (not sure who by) and hasn't logged in for 27 days.... He never accepted the mooch either.

I'm happy to hold on if you want to but I have a feeling it may not be coming.... Grrr :-( Let me know what you want to do, so sorry this hasn't worked out so far.

Hi Heather, I'm dropping in to say hi to everyone on the NaNoWriMo thread. I love the puppy picture and I hope to save unwanted abused, etc animals also, when I retire. I have a rescue of sorts now, a chinese crested and have fostered a harlequin great dane that I managed to get adopted within a week of taking her home. She went to the home of a man who takes in unwanted animals such as pot-bellied pigs, two black swans who were attacking people walking by "their" lake, miniature horses, etc on acres and acres of land. He had just lost "Spike" his GD and stopped me in the middle of a walk to pat Phoenix. When he heard she was available for adoption, that was all she wrote! It was all done officially through a rescue and I hope to have the opportunity to do the same again someday when life gives me the time. Well, see you in November. MB

Heather,
BBC *sigh* I ment BSC (Baby-Sitters Club). I've actually begun to think I should pick them up at the thrift stores as the local book stores don't sell them any more. I actually didn't get into Tamora Pierce until after Harry Potter. I was 20 when I first found her and I guess I just enjoyed a fantsay novel with a femal lead that I fell in love with both her worlds.

As for Nancy Drew I love that they are mysteries that don't talk down to the child who is reading them. I also like that I still have a hard time seeing who the bad guy is until the author has Nancy figure it out.

LOL Heather,
I was obsessed with Nancy Drew and BBC books when I was a kid. Then I got into the Hardy Boys after I started the joint mysteries. *snort* I had almost all the BBC books, but when I got to college my mom asked if she could give them to a friend. I didn't have enought room so I was like sure go ahead. *sigh* now I regret not still having the BBC books, I held onto the the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys ones. Anyway long explanation for nothing really.

Thanks for grabbing those for me. I had a copy of Tricksters Queen that was suppose to come to me but the moochers account was put on hold. Those shipping to her got a account closed notice but I didn't. They are almost the last two I need from Tamora Pierce to have all her books. Now I just need the White Tiger one and I got them all. *dances* My dad and bf have both told me I need to stop getting books I just rolled my eyes and picked up my book to finish reading. Any who thanks again I really appreciate it!

BTW I'm ArtemisAthene on bookmooch.

Hi Heather,
I have just gotten a reply about your 'angel' mooch request: Women Out of Control: How the Girls Next Door Became Some of the World's Most Notorious Criminals, as I managed to contact the member. She wrote:

Hi Lyn,

I've been meaning to send you an email. I kind of live in two places and the book you have asked for is in the NT at the moment. I'm FIFO at a mine there and currently it is sitting in my donga. I go back to work on tuesday next week. I'll try and send it from work if possible. If not I will not be able to send it for at least a week and a half.

Really sorry. I should get into the habit of checking me email at work so I can make sure I bring the books that are wanted to be mooched.

I told her not to worry and we wouldn't mind waiting until she could send it... so I hope you won't! NT is Northern Territory BTW, and you may have known that, and I am not sure if she is in another state at present; I asked what a FIFO did, and otherwise I will wait now, until it is sent. :)
I am actually very pleased to get this reply, as I was worrying this would turn into another case of a new member disappearing.

Hope this IS all OK with you,

Hi! Was just reading your "rant" from Jan 16. Just joined this group. Yes, I too have the problem of only being able to send out so many shipments a month due to a tight budget (You know what's as bad as a 20-yr-old trying to get by.....a 48-yr single mom w/ a special needs child whose *7%#@*&^!! of an ex isn't paying his child support). What got me was I had started w/ changing my status message indicating I could not accept any more mooches for that particular month & people would keep on mooching!! My biggest rant: "I THOUGHT we're a site of READERS! Why aren't you READING my status message?"

So now I go on vacation in between sending out bks in the beginning of each month, for chunks of 6-10 days.

It's true, communication needs to be clear on both sides. I just wish some of the BM members would finally 'get' it.

Thanks so very much for your comment - very sweet of you. It always puts a bright smile on my face to read comments from others on my page. What a day brightener! *smile* You know that Nancy Drew habit of yours could be quite profitable in the end, those books can sell for a bundle should you ever be inclined to sell them. I know I've been holding onto my YA collection of like titles in my collection for that reason among others.

*chuckle*

Well, that and the fact that I, like you, can't bear to part with them. It pains me to get rid of any books unless I already have a second copy or (very very rarely) really don't like the book and then it's no problem to part with it. But that really only happens about once a blue moon or so as it really takes a lot for me not to want to hold onto a book and keep it in my collection. However, it looks like we share a good collection of books, so I'm sure you know how that is.

Thanks for the comment again. :)
Much bliss & happy reading!

From one Nancy Drew, SVH, and babysitter club fan, I just stopped by to say, "Hi!!"

The book that I wrote that about was the graphic novel adaptation of "The Truth About Stacey". That book and also "Kristy's Great Idea" have been adapted into graphic novels by Raina Telgemeier, published by Graphix (which is an imprint of Scholastic publishing). I believe there's a third one expected out sometime in the next year (though I couldn't tell you which one!). If you're a BSC fan, I'd recommend checking them out. I found that both were pretty faithful to the original stories.

Even better (re: the # of books we share)! :)

I know what you mean about the restrictions of how many books you can have in your catalog. I finally gave in and paid the whole fee, because after a couple weeks of adding books, I realized I'd reached 200 a lot quicker than I'd expected. :)

Oh yeah, there are tons of BSC books, especially if you include the spin-off series: Baby-sitters Little Sister, California Diaries, etc.

Cool, we share similar tastes in kids books--22 so far. :) Happy reading!
