About meMy siblings have nicknamed me Scrat as I can be a just a tiny little bit obsessive. I am an avid and eclectic reader who doesn't sleep as much as she should...as I just gotta get that acorn.

About my libraryI often read 50+ novels a year. Rather than include all the books I have ever read, I have decided to include only those read since 2000. I prefer modern well written literature but also enjoy the occasional light read.

Scrat,
Thank you for your nice compliment on my review of Swallows of Kabul. You helped to remind me how good that book is. Sitting in the comforts of life in America I was transported into another existence. Before I forget I am going to look up some other books by the author and put them on my wish list. For that I thank you again.

I actually found a few copies. Send over your mailing address (my e-mail is mail@christophertusa.com) and I'll send you a physical copy.

Thanks,

Chris

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, 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 about a dysfunctional family 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 (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to learn a little more about the book before you commit:

Thanks for the message...it is always a bit of a thrill to get one! yes, we do seem to enjoy similar books. I will place your recommendation on my list, which I carry in my purse to refer to when I'm at the library or bookstore. I think you will enjoy [The Winter Vault]. I thought it was excellent. Another Cdn recommendation I can make to you is Good to a Fault. This was just a perfect balance of moral dilemma and enduring character.
Keep in touch,
Lorraine

Thankyou Scrat for acknowledging my library. I am new to library thing, but I am enjoying the connection immensely. Our libraries are similar because like you, I prefer modern literature. I am a co-founder of a neighbourhood book club unofficially known as "the hammersisters". We started 14 years ago(pre-Oprah) and have truly become sisters over that time. I am looking forward to seeing what you are reading. I am not as prolific a reader as you but I have The Middle Child, Through the Black Spruce and An Imperfect Offering on my night table, for the summer.Enjoy your summer and read often! Thanks for the connexion. Saratuck
