Noticed you liked Lovely Bones, 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 also contains a young female narrator struggling with a series of tragic circumstances. 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 about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

I just joined the Library Thing and was navigating to whatever got my attention, mostly things connected to science or science-related. So I came across your profile and thought I'd write, since I felt you'd probably be interested in what I've added below.

Anyway my own book Convergence documents the surprisingly cut-throat world of science and reflects the real-world experiences of tens of thousands of young researchers everywhere. There are four main storylines, each involving a woman seemingly unrelated to the other three. Convergence begins by slowly taking the reader into the world of science and discovery, an apparently benign culture full of supportive people. However, despite the moral purity of the four main protagonists, sinister undercurrents undermine each storyline as the novel progresses. Thus, although starting out purely as a science mystery, Convergence develops into a slow-burning political drama. At the core of the novel are ethical and moral issues that are frequently revisited throughout the book, echoing similar themes contained within The Demon Haunted World and Contact (by Carl Sagan).

Subject to availability, a limited number of free copies of Convergence have been set aside for review purposes. Send email to Christopher Turner at general@convergence-cpt.com if you wish to have a free copy for review. Please mention Library Thing in the body of your email.

Thanks.

Christopher.

Hi, Mortaine. It took a while to get to this, but I've posted a review of James Frey's "USSA".

Hi Mortaine - I see that you have a book titled "The Shaman Sorceress." I am wondering what this book is about, and whether or not it is worth purchasing used. Got any thoughts about that?

Hi Mortaine - I just joined the site and started cataloging my collection...seems we're the only two folks on here who have catalogued Peter Weltner's BEACHSIDE ENTRIES...just wondering how you ran across this. My uncle, Gerald Coble, is a friend of Peter's and contributed the art work that illustrates this edition. Peter's also written a novel called HOW THE BODY PRAYS that I highly recommend. (I share that cataloging with only one other person on the site, too.) Just reaching out to say hi and acknowledge that we both have this particular volume in common - and unique to the two of us...

Happy cataloging to you.
