About meI am a grandmother who lives in the country in Alberta Canada. I have been an avid reader all my life. I love all genres, except for science fiction, but my favourite is mysteries as you will see by my library collection. I love historical mysteries the most, but devour lots of other kinds too. I love to garden. I love the outdoors, and I love our acreage home.

About my libraryI loaded these books from Amazon where I am a top 500 reviewer. Reading is my absolute passion! I am a library member at our local library and this allows me access to books from all around the province with the inter-library loan program.

Hi,
I've just entered a book by Paul Doherty called 'The Darkening Glass' about events in the time of Edward II. I see that you have a review on that page ,under that title which seems to relate to one of the 'Falco' books of Ancient Rome by Lindsay Davies.
I don't know if you realise this and if not you may want to move your review to a different page.
All the best.-
Looks like there is something wrong with the statistics. When I visit your home page it says we share only 27 books (all of them from the classics) but when I look at your library it says we share 89 books. Probably collections has something to do with it. I was going to recommend Anne Perry, but I see you have probably read more of her books than I have! I've read a ton of books of all kinds that I haven't entered in LibraryThing because I don't have the actual books anymore and at my age, my memory will never comply. I mostly read British mysteries and see you have some of my favourites. Thanks for the tips.
Hello Shirley, I just noticed one of your reviews in my "connection news". I'm sort of amazed that we both like mysteries and yet do not share any. I'll have to read more of your reviews to get some reading ideas. BTW, I live in Castlegar,BC
