Hi, June . . .

I couldn't figure out what I did with YOUR invitation so I sent one to you. I hope you will accept. I need all the friends I can get . . . and anyone who recommends good books to me is bound to be a good friend.

June,

It has just come to my attention -- yes, I usually am that slow -- that you extended an invitation to me to be LT friends and I did something to the invitation that apparently made it disappear. I would indeed like to be friends, but I don't quite know how to arrange it . . . please forgive me for being so clumsy about this.

I received a copy of Ward Just's A Dangerous Friend today . . . it's near the top of the tbr pile so I should get to it soon. I have another coming, although I can't remember which one -- it was very difficult to choose. Once I got to reading about them, I found I wanted them all, but limited myself to two.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Good morning, June,

Thank you for your suggestions. Just this morning I read the review of this book posted at the bookeywookey blog and the reviewer asked the same question of his readers -- what other Just books do you suggest? I didn't check out what they said, but I like the sound of the titles you list. Thanks again.

Have a great day.

June,

Thanks so much for the message about Just's book. It will be awhile before I buy it (maybe I'll put it on my Christmas wish list) and then get around to reading it, but I am interested. Are there earlier books of his you would especially recommend?
I usually try to read a couple of books by a "new" (at least to me) author.

What are you reading now? I'm just finished with one book and about to start another -- I have too many in my TBR stack so choosing the next one is always interesting. So many books, so little time, as they say

Hi, June

Thanks for adding my library to your list. I see we have some favorite authors in common. I have been reading about Ward Just's new book -- I've never read anything by him before -- and I think I might like this one (Exiles in the Garden).

Good reading, June.

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries, even though we only have one book in common ;)

" No birth certificate is issued when friendship is born.
There is nothing tangible.
There is just a feeling that your life is
different and that your capacity to love and care has
miraculously been enlarged with out any effort on your part.
It's like having a tiny apartment and somebody moves in with you.
But instead of becoming cramped and crowded, the space expands,
and you discover rooms you never knew you had
until your friend moved in with you."
