Hi Mike
I added the book to my to be read pile based on your recommendation. I haven't read it yet. I've had some nasty headaches this week, so I'm far behind in my reading. I hope to get Hit List from the library this weekend.

Thanks again for your correspondence. I am familiar with Good Reads and have added some books and reviews to my file on that data base. I hope to have more time to explore it.

Take care,
Mike -

If you go to the group page and click on "Topics", the threads will sort alphabetically. Your thread is on the fifth or so page. Here's a link to it:

Hi Mike.
Marked your blog to follow.
Have you tried the series of legal procedure mysteries by Rose Connor? They are set in New England, thought you might enjoy them.
See you in the blog world.

According to LT we share 6 books but only 2 that I have read, Dark Tide by Andrew Gross and the second Twilight book. Did you read the entire series? If so, it's not showing as shared books. HHMM

Do you enter books that you own or do you include library and wishlist books? I include everything and tag and put into Collections accordingly.

Awww, thanks! One of these days I'm going to take some of my comments about books on my 75 book challenge thread and turn them into posted reviews - then I'll have even more reviews here on LT. I've recently begun to realize that the short little comments I make about books can actually be reviews if they include the right information.

Wonder what our first shared book here on LT will be?
Hi Mike,

I havent read the "The Princes of Ireland" but will be interested to see what you think, keep meaning to try Edward Rutherfurd. All the books in my "Your Library" collection I own, I have a wishlist section setup for books I want. I cannot guarantee I haven't made a mistake though (I have spotted a few!).

Claire
You've got quite a library there...like your selections. Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm actually reading 'Shadow of Betrayal' right now and agree that it's excellent!
