About my libraryMy library includes many books I inherited from my grandmother. We had similar reading tastes. I haven't read most of the books I inherited from her, but I kept only those that I thought I might eventually read.

I saw your comment on my page about Dissonance. If you are still reading music themed books and/or you are participating in the Endless European Challenge, I highly recommend Hiding in the Spotlight by Greg Dawson. It's about a Ukranian Jew who escapes extermination at Drobitsky Yar and takes on a new identity as a concert pianist in Nazi Germany. It's extremely well written and blends history, music and personal challenge very well. It just came out in July, so I think it's only in hardcover right now.

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:

I'm glad you liked Dissonance. I'm pretty stingy with my 5 star reviews, but this book earned them easily. I read your review, and it made me think about whether an interest in music would enhance this read. I don't have a musical background, per se, but I can play the piano. I tend to favor historical fiction, and I think Dissonance does a good job incorporating factual thread into the fictional narrative, but you may be right, and understanding of music might add a little something.

Yay for Dads! Mine is 73 and a great reader; if he's sitting, he's reading. Mama reads a lot, too, but is mostly found with a needle in her hand; she is an avid quilter. I would like to get them both on LibraryThing. There is hope for Papa, but Mama resists the technology! Enjoyed browsing your library, too, and just added you to my Interesting Libraries. Glad to 'meet' you, fellow LT-er!

Thank you for your comment in my Fifty States Fiction thread. Death in Yellowstone was my first ever review, so I appreciate that you took the time to comment about it. Naturally, then, I followed your member link to your own reviews and felt overwhelmed that I had received a nice comment from someone who is, obviously, a review pro! I enjoyed reading many of your reviews and adding thumbs to quite a few, not to mention, adding way too many more books to my wishlists!

Hi, CBL
Thanks again for suggesting I join LibraryThing and welcoming me to the "club." I already love it! Just wish I had (a) more time; and (b) a faster home computer/connection.
Happy reading,
Joan

Dear cbl_tn

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my novel and present such a terrific review. I wanted you to know that I appreciate it very much and don't take it for granted. I myself don't review books very well, so I know it's not easy! Once again, thank you for your thrilling words about the book. It made me very happy indeed.

Your's truly

Hi Carrie --
Unfortunately, I won't be at ACL as I broke my wrist.
Have a great time

I know- But it is so different than work so I don't mind it either. And the books are MINE- each one has a story and is special, you know? Way more fun! I even made a separate account for my son so I can keep track of what he has and "needs". Should help come birthdays and Christmas....
