Hi there,

I don't use Librarything much, but I happened to see your review of my book, Any Which Wall, and I wanted to tell you (not defensively, but because I thought you might find it amusing) that I'm a huge Nesbit fan. My mentions of Eager were intended, in some small way, to credit him, as he credited Nesbit. Not to exclude her, but to extend that tradition. In fact, I wrote an introduction for the new Looking Glass Library edition of Five Children & It, which is just about the greatest honor I can ever imagine having!!!

Happy reading! Laurel

Saw your review of Wringer by Jerry Spinelli and just wanted to add that up until 1999, there was a society pretty much just like depicted in Wringer in Hegins, Pennsylvania. (It shut down due to protests and a court order now prevents kids from participating in the killing portion of live pigeon shoots... but they are still legally held in private clubs in PA.)

You are correct that James McCann, the Africanist, possesses a middle initial. In his early books he did not use it. I will change my record. Good luck.

Hiya, just saw your review of 'What Katy Did Next'. Thought you might like to know that 'Nine Little Goslings' appears to be available new on www.amazon.co.uk for £8.99

Oh! You know, I completely forgot that there are films! With Billie Piper in, no less. I might actually be able to face it, for Billie Piper. (Or not, because I actually like her.)

I was reading your review on The Shadow in the North--you're definitely not the only one to realize they actually like the characters more than they'd thought. I was enjoying the books, but I wasn't deeply invested in them, I thought. When I was halfway through Shadow, though, I idly read the back of the third book--and then in utter disbelief at what it said, jumped back, found the fire & its results in Shadow, flung the book away from me, and refused to even look at it for years. Somehow I still own it, some eight years later, but I've never finished it.

Hello, glad you got the message. I'm just back from a trip to Porto Santo and Madeira (though this is hardly a coincidence because I spend a lot of time working there). You really must visit some time the land of your family origins - it is very beautiful. Not perhaps quite as spectacular as Vancouver, but it in fact has some similarites in that the high mountains rise right up from the sea. No bears in the forest though - I'll never forget seeing them from a cable car ride many years ago.

Hello Francesca, Your name just appeared on my similar library list. Checking over books it looks as though you have just added those compulsively collectable little books that Penguin put out a few years ago, so maybe there are few actual similarities in our collections - but reading through your comments I must sympathise with book buying bans/e-books/and moving continents. Anyhow Hi from Portugal.
