Hi Lisa.
Thanks for the invite,looking foward to chatting with you. I'm still getting used to the system and listing my books slowly since I have so many it takes a lot of time although i just ordered one of the ISBN scanners so maybe that will help as i'm only about half way through.

Hi Lisa.
I just wanted to drop you a note and say that I really enjoyed your story in Hallowe'en Husbands. It is exactly what I needed to get me in the holiday spirit (little pun), a sweet ghost story. Thanks.

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for the invite! I am thrilled because I just finished the Hallowe'en Husbands anthology and LOVED your story in it! One of my critique partners commented on the anthology and mentioned your story in particular!

I am an aspiring writer, working on my second book and trying not to let the DDJ (dreaded day job) make me crazy.

My first book - a Regency romantic comedy - was a Golden Heart finalist this year. My second book is a WIP and it is a Regency Gothic with a touch of the paranormal. Slogging away at it to try and finish it in time to get it in the Golden Heart.

Can't wait to read your next one!

Lisa,
Sounds like you have been very busy!! 2 books! Are you taking some time off to read or are you already hard at work on your next book? Thanks for the heads up, I will look for both.
I just finished (and loved) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. If you are looking for a nice sweet quick read it is a winner.

Hi LJ.
Thanks for the friend invite. Yes we have some good ones in common. Now I need to check out a few of yours that I don't have. By the way, I loved The Matchmaker.

Hi Lisa!

Thanks for adding me to your friends. I've been well and I'm so happy to have found LT. I don't know why I didn't join sooner. I'm already addicted.

Lisa,
How's the book coming? Are you making any time to read these days? What have you read lately? I just finished (minutes ago) Elizabeth Berg's The day I ate whatever I wanted. I love her writing, but some of these stories made me sad. Maybe I'll read up Let's Misbehave next for a pick-me-up-read. What do you think?

Hi Lisa! Thanks for the invite. I must confess I'm still trying to get acquainted with LT, so I haven't been able to use it for it's greatest potential -- discussion and meeting people. I have one of your books in my library, but it's in my TBR pile. I'll have to move it to the top:-) Your covers look like such fun, and I love fun in my reading!

Thank you for asking me to be one of your "friends". How exciting for me! and what a great way to get others who might not be familiar with your works to become aquainted with them. Im excited to go on the hunt for some of your books and get to know more about you through them.

The history of magical creatures sounds like a fascinating study. My own passion is for Arthurian based materials -- I am a sucker for almost anything written around that tale/legend. It is interesting to see how various authors portray essentially the same characters and events. Similarly, magical creatures, dragons for instance, range from foul-smelling, evil tempered, treasure hoarders to the telepathic, fire-breathing, world saving dragons of Anne McCaffrey's Pern. I would be interested in knowing how you intend to work them into your novel -- but you do not have to let out any secrets -- I can read your next book.

Good luck and good hunting!

How goes the research? Do you find you keep getting sidetracked into other, less relevant, but intriguing, by-paths?

posted by other at 10:06 am (EST) on Oct 4, 2007

As you can probably tell, I'm new to the list. I'm not sure what being a friend entails, but if it's a way to find out about new books/authors, I'm always open. I work full-time at a law firm and I probably won't get on the site as often as I'd like, so don't be offended if I don't respond for a while.

BookMooch is a great place to get rid of books you don't want anymore and to get books that you do want to read. The only thing is that sometimes when you search in it, the book you want won't come up. That's when you need the ISBN number. I like to think of it like this:

If you're like me (meaning CHEAP), you get four books for the price you would pay for one new one in the store. And it helps save trees. :D

Hi, Lisa, and thanks for the add! I'm a member of an online book service (booksfree.com (a contradiction as they're NOT free ;)) because our town's book selection is very much lacking, and I searched your name and found a lot of your books! :) Don't know which I'll start with, though.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for the friend invite. Though I haven't put it in LT yet, I actually bought Let's Misbehave a month or so ago and thought it was a really cute, fun read. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of your titles. It also looks like we've got some favorite authors in common, so I look forward to checking out your collection.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the invite! Working in a public library is fun. It's the best job I've ever had - I get to talk to people about books all day, how cool is that? And working with teens, helping them figure out that reading doesn't have to suck and can be fun if you find the right books, pretty much rocks.

Thanks again for the invite, keep in touch.

Hi, Lisa.

Thanks for answering my note. Good to know that I am not keeping you from creating another novel. Congratulations on finishing another book!

Although I started working in the local public library at age 14, I am now, sad to say, head of cataloguing for Statistics Canada's library and thus seldom see anything at work which would be of interest in this forum. Do not get me wrong, I love my job because of the people, the varieties of materials and because I love to catalogue, but I seldom read the books we get there. Did you know there are statistical techniques known as the jackknife method and the bootstrap method?

Like you I have another collection not reflected here -- I have about 1800 books catalogued and only another couple of bookcases to go. I read with great pleasure about the varieties of materials you collect and read for research -- research was always my favourite part of school. Somehow or another, the finished product was never as good as I envisioned it at the research stage, though.

I particularly enjoyed most of the books in the Slightly series by Mary Balogh. Some of her other works can be a bit tiresome.

Enjoy your free time. How long until you have to buckle down to the next book?

--Susan

I can't help going "Oh, wow!" A real author wants to talk to me. As a librarian by trade, I have a huge respect for anyone who has the imagination to create characters and situations and the dedication to put it on paper (or a computer screen). At the same time, I had some trepidation about answering -- thinking that I was taking your time which could more valuably be spent writing (part of) another book.

If you do have time to answer, I would be curious to know what your basis for reading/collecting is. For the most part, your collection seems to be contemporary novels rather than regency/historical or the current craze for supernatural (vampires/werewolves, etc.). A couple of the authors (i.e., Jane Green) are unknown to me. Do you collect what you prefer to read -- as entertainment or current awareness -- or do you collect novels by other authors that you know?

I have read all the Sedaris I could get my hands on. I love listening to audiobooks. Somtimes I pick books that are fun and light (Evanovich) and sometimes I pick books that I am pretty sure I would not read (Bill Bryson's A short history of nearly everything). I loved Bryson's book. You should try it on your next road trip...

We would love to have you join our "Romance From Historical To Contemporary" group. As of today, we have 402 members, including several die-hards who post almost every day. We have some great discussions, and needless to say, my TBR stack has exploded with all the good recommendations.
