About meLike everyone here, I love to read and will read just about anything. I am trying to remember and document everything I have read so far (bit of a daunting task) so I can see how my tastes have changed over the years.

About my libraryMy library has a little bit of everything. I keep my faves and donate the rest to friends/family/charity.

I agree....what more can you ask for...books, books, readers, reader, readers.

Will check out your library....I may have a question about one if it seems interesting, which I am sure it will be.

You will LOVE Shadow of the Wind...please let me know if you read it and like it.

Thanks for the reply.

Keep in touch.

If you like we can correspond via regular e-mail...not sure if I have mine on my profile...if not, this is fine as well.

Happy reading...it is a beautiful day here today in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for accepting my friend invitation...we sure have a lot of books in common....I see you haven't read Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon....you will love it...that is my all-time favorite novel.

I made a trip to Barcelona to see all the places mentioned in the book. :)

Keep in touch and I will check out any books of yours I haven't read yet. :)

Master of the Game was good as well....and The Thirteenth Tale...so many good books out there. :)

Hey Danielle;
Thank you for your quick response. I will let Mark know your preference and hopefully we can get a title nailed down quickly.
You will be hearing more as the time draws nearer.
Reminds me, I need to go down and click a little box that flew in here while I was gone. hee hee
hugs,
belva

Hi;
Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,
belva

Noticed you liked Mudbound, 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 southern (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). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Thanks,

170 books in a year is amazing, much less in 8 months! I show my page count partly to demonstrate that I'm not just reading children's books. I'm trying to read 500 books this year. So far my average page count is 292 per book.

Happy reading!

I was brought up in Sanderstead, very close to Croydon, and went to school in Croydon itself. Small world isn't it? My mother's family are also Welsh. You must visit there, and even I haven't been to Ireland, but it is on our list of to go theres.

I can relate to the struggle in finding a home for all the books I buy. Perhaps "struggle" is too strong a word for it! My husband asked me the other day if I am trying to aim for the ceiling with the pile of books by my bed. Ooooops! He did say it with a grin.

That's a real shame. We visited Boston MA last year and, yes, I have to admit that I visited the bigger chains and they seemed very impersonal somehow. We have an award winning independant bookstore in our small market town....which is well supported, as well as a fantastic library.

Whereabouts in the UK did you visit? Any plans to re visit the UK? My friend from Boston is visiting next Spring and Iam solooking forward to seeing her again.

I have only just bought Guernica.....there was a great paperback deal on at WH Smiths over here in the UK. Such a sale could be called Fatal Attraction.......I can't resist books! I will let you now whether it is worth withdrawing from the library again!

I love browsing peoples' libraries. To begin with it almost felt like stalking....and I still sometimes feel a little uneasy. Just our good nature I guess?

All the best

OK.....so I kinda got it wrong!!! You requested me to be a friend on LT......not added me to your interesting libraries. Call it a senior moment!

Yes I would like that ......will try to keep up.

Hi there

Thank you for adding me to your interesting libraries. I am fascinated by your library and am still looking through from time to time.

So many books...so little time!

Best wishes

Teresa

Hi, I see our libraries have 221 book in common, so obviously we like a lot of the same books. I like many types of books and through this site have been introduced to many new authors that have become favorites. My TBR books have grown from a small pile to 4 shelves of books, and in order to save money, I have discovered the joy of using the library! Happy reading, Judy

Hi
I hope you like Rick Mofina's books. He's terrific. Very scary stuff! I slept with the light on one night.. He was kind enough to join my bookgroup when we read one of his earlier books and everyone enjoyed the meeting. He's doing so well and we are very proud to call him one of our own here in Ottawa!
Cheers,
Clamato

Hi there,

I was looking at some of your past reviews and books on your shelf and I thought you would be interested to know that there’s a new book by Vikas Swarup the author of Slumdog Millionaire called Six Suspects out today. In fact Minotaur Books is giving away free signed copies! http://us.macmillan.com/smp/promo/sixsus...

They even have a Q&A with Vikas Swarup--- http://us.macmillan.com/sixsuspects
and you can meet the “suspects” in the story. It has gotten great reviews and promises to be a thrilling summer read.

Enjoy!
