About meHiya! I cannot believe I neglected updating my profile for so long. I am terrible at this - I never know what to say. :) I'm 29 years old & well, I'm a bookworm. I have carried a book with me for as long as I can remember. I'm always reading something. Before I could read, I used to take pens/crayons/pencils to books & "rewrite" them. (Basically, scribbling jibberish over things & telling myself my own stories outloud.) My parents used to record these "story sessions" - they really are jibberish. It makes me cringe to think I used to scribble in books, though! ;) I could never do that now.

Well, as you can probably tell... I ramble. A bit! ;)

I'm going to try to keep up with this.

If anyone has any recommendations - please drop me a line! I love recommendations. :)

- I am currently trying to update my library. I have neglected it a little bit lately. (I am horrible at tagging.) :)

About my libraryAs for the books listed.. I own them all. I need to weed out a few. As you can probably guess, I have serious issue with "not having enough space".

"Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?" - Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)

Noticed you liked Girl Interrupted, 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 disturbed young girl's mental illness and also 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:

Hi!

I actually posted a review of La Vida Vampire and Last Vampire Standing on my blog yesterday. Here's the link: http://undercoverbooklover.blogspot.com/...

I just got Brida, so I hope to get to it soon. It looks like it'll be a good one! As for Revolutionary Road - I loved the book and the movie and was so glad that it starred two of my favorite actors. Sophie Kinsella is always a good read. The Shopaholic series got me hooked on all things Kinsella. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I was thinking about renting it or getting it on PPV this weekend. It's funny that you mentioned Twenties Girl because I just got an advance copy in the mail today to review on my other blog, The Eclectic Book Hoarder.

Thanks for looking me up! I love talking about books with people :)

Keep in touch,

Jacqueline

hey mate! :) yeah, I did enjoy the third Bray novel. I didn't love it as much as I loved the first two, but if pressed to explain why...it's difficult to articulate. *blink* I think it's because things didn't end the way I wanted them to. technically the ending was perfectly acceptable within the frame of the books, so I have no qualms that way, but it's not the way I'd have handled it if I was living in Libba's brain. also, there was an aspect of the Realms I'd not have included because it leaves too many vague questions...but I won't get into that yet, since you haven't finished the trilogy. heheh.

.....and I have to say, darlin, I'm slightly disappointed in you. just LOOK at all those chick-lit Kinsella books on your recent activity list. tsk, tsk. ;)

*mwah*

Aha, you found LT again I see (the "home" page lists recently added books by friends and interesting libraries). I walked through the door just 40 minutes ago and already I had to feed my LT addiction.

Hi Libby! It's nice to see you here. I knew you from LJ a few years back.

What is the recent read that you've enjoyed the most?

posted by saucybetty at 11:13 pm (EST) on Jul 29, 2007

I'm a little surprised we only share 53 books. But then, some of the books I have listed are books I've had since I was very young and my taste wasn't quite so discerning. And I do still read a lot of crap... It's great that you're on here, too, though I'm not sure why I didn't look for you before. I should have expected it. A place to organize books like this has your name all over it! *grins* We definitely need to catch up!

Your quote by Henry Ward Beecher just warms my heart. Isn't it wonderful to have a personal compulsion so completely understood by someone who lived a century and a half before you did?

go ahead and thank me. it's much more polite than creating a scene in the cyber-library room. *cheeky grin*

posted by silverwraith at 2:35 am (EST) on Aug 10, 2006

I notice you lowered your Theft rating to one. *cheeky grin* I also see Time & Again has the lowest rating possible. did you enjoy your revenge? ;) like I said, it's too bad you can't give books negative stars.
