Thanks for adding ILLEGAL to your list. I adored The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks - Emily writes amazing books.

Best,
Bettina

Hi!

I made a mistake with the Richelle Mead series I mentioned - so I deleted my original comment. Sorry :) (Reasons why I shouldn't post comments when I've had no sleep! ;) hehe)

Thanks for passing on the link to your blog review. I saw one of the books you are looking forward to this year is the second Dark Swan book! I have the 1st, but have not read it yet.

I am currently reading Street Magic by Caitlin Kittredge. I just started it a few days ago. :)

I loved Revolutionary Road. I agree - it had 2 of my favorite actors, too! I loved how any outside-shot looking at the street or house was "picture perfect". (like when she's at the doorway looking out. or in the yard) Maybe I'm reading too much into it. :) I adored the clothes & cars, too!

OOoh, Let me know how Twenties Girl is, please! :) I'm curious. It is on my watch list for the summer. (The new Carlos Ruiz Zafon, too!) I'm curious what you think of Brida, too. I gave it to a few friends as presents this year.

I love discussing books - so pass on recommendations anytime! :)

I will check out your blog. :) I recently moved my book-ramblings to a WP blog - I'm working on it. (I need to get my old site back up. For now. I have just been using Livejournal)

Have a nice day!

hi :) Your library kept popping up under "top 50 libraries" when I was adding books.

I have La Vida Vampire & Last Vampire Standing on my summer reading list! & Brida - how did you like it? It is on my nightstand unfinished. (I like it, it is just one in the stack) I need to update my library - I have been neglecting it far too long! hehe)

I see Revolutionary Road is one of your favorites. I recently watched the film. I was afraid to watch it because I had read the book and didn't know if it would be different. I love the actors, I was just hesitant. Have you seen the film?

& Sophie Kinsella.. I love her books. Especially when I need a laugh. :) Love her! Can't wait to read Twenties Girl. Did you see Confessions of a Shopaholic? I haven't - yet.

Just wanted to stop by and say hi! Have a good week!

Hi, Jacqueline - Found you on the Memoirs/Bio/Autobio Group. Turns out many of the members there don't share any of my library. You do have a few of the same. I read mostly memoirs and have written a few myself. Wonder if you've read Debra Dickerson's AN AMERICAN STORY - a terrific memoir. I especially enjoyed its section on her time at DLI (Defense Language Institute) while she was in the AF. I spent a year-plus there myself, in the army. And I lived in Odenton MD for 21 yrs while working for DoD. Retired now and back in my home state of MI. Keep reading. - Tim

Hi Jacqueline,

The member giveaway is offering an e-book version of the book. Are you not interested in reading the e-book?

posted by cmtusa at 6:09 pm (EST) on Apr 23, 2009

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Chris
