Thanks for the tip, Jill, but I don't have a Twitter account. I can barely keep up with life on the Internet and have been cutting back due to lack of time. Plus my life here really doesn't require such "connectedness"! But thanks for thinking of me.

All is well here. Hope things are going well with you and your family!

Just saw you added An Abundance of Katherines to your library. My girls both LOVED that book. Hope you do, too!! Apparently the author also has a video blog that's quite humorous.
Sorry was out last night so didnt get on. I have deleted #38.
Oh yea! I'm so glad you like them. It was fun choosing something for you. I thought about some of my 5-star reads, the kind of books I would literally shove into your hands if we met F2F. I perused your library to make sure they weren't there, so I'm really glad you haven't read them!

Happy Early Birthday!!
Hi, Jill--I've given up blogging, although I am posting about my reading in the Club Read 2009 group: http://www.librarything.com/topic/51894 .

I don't keep up with blogs much, either, although I have been clicking through to some of your reviews.

I hear you about Mount TBR--it's always one step forward, two steps back for me.

What a cute dog!

Chris
Jill--just read you review of [The Lucky One] and that you're sick! I hope it's not serious!

Both books were waiting for me this morning when I got to the office. I'm VERY excited to read The Cellist of Sarajevo, I read about it on another blog and have been really wanting to read it. The board book looks great too, I really like how it shows babies of different ethnicities, that is something I am striving for in my baby's library.

and yours?

We actually ended up leaving town earlier than we had planned, so we left before my SantaThing gift arrived. I assume it is waiting for me at my office, and I can't wait to go back and see it on the 5th!
Hi Jill,

I'm so glad you liked the books I picked out for you! In looking at your library I saw a number of books that I'm interested in, so I'm excited about that.

I also saw the photo of your dog on your profile and I want to let you know that we have a basset hound as well...nice coincidence! His name is Henry and he's about 7.5 months old. Right now the snow up here is deeper than he is tall and he loves to run through it.

Anyways, have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the books!

Beth
Thank you for the lovely Christmas card Jill! And what a cute profile photo. How is the lovely Emma doing?
Hi, Jill

Back in July you commented on one of my univesity questions. You told me that you wrote a thesis paper on Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", which is something I recently read for school. Not having lived in the US, I've never studied MLK or this text, but I'm so glad I finally read it. I am in utter awe at both his intellect and his writing ability. And his moral position. Wow. That's all I can say. We haven't had the lecture yet, but I've included this in my final essay. Interestingly, we also looked at it in my English class when we did a unit on grace in writing. Our prof thought this an ultimate example. Anyway, I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this, and also what the general message of your thesis was. I don't have to do an undergrad thesis, so I'm not sure exactly what that even means. Any thoughts you have on any of this would be appreciated!

How is your family adjusting to Emma?

Cheers,
Joyce
Hi Jill!

Glad to hear it arrived safely. That media mail takes a while! Hope you enjoy the book,

Carey
Thanks for adding BannedBooksLibrary to your Interesting Libraries, Jill. Happy Reading!
Well, look at that ... there I am! Cool indeed :)
Jill!

Just picked up Coal Black Horse today!! many, many thanks--and I will let you know, for sure, what I think about it.

Joyce
Hi Jill,

The books are supposed to be in the mail to me today, so as soon as they get here I will send that one out to you. I'm glad it's going to a good home!

Carey
Oooh! Oooh! What joy! I'm not gong to ask you what's in it because I want to be surprised. it will be an early Christmas.

Many, many thanks, Jill!
