About meI'm a sleep deprived 54 year old antique dealer who loves to read! I am married to a wonderful man and we are the proud "parents" of two tabby cats who run the household, and graciously allow Larry & I to live here.
I always have at least one book going, usually two. Hubby and I enjoy going to our favorite book shop to hunt for titles as yet unread, even though we have cupboards and bookcases filled to the brim with books still waiting to be read.
I love LT and look forward to meeting more LT'ers and cataloging more books.

I saw a comment from you on msf59's profile page and thought I'd zoom over here because you mentioned Tana French. I loved her first book and have The Likeness on my tbr pile.
Your "boy" on the left looks almost identical to my Kitty William. I have 5 kitties, and they definitely rule the roost here too.
See you around!

Did you finish "In the Woods"? I've been on a great roll, well into "Every Man Dies Alone", highly recommended by Louis and it's outstanding. I knocked out "Peace Like a River" ,another great read and finally picked up "The Book Thief", which I'll start next. Hope you are having a nice weekend. See you around!!

If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I'm so glad you seem to be loving the Wally Lamb book. I've heard some complaints from others but like you, I thought it all pulls together quite nicely. I mentioned in my earlier message, about "The Book of Air and Shadows". I'll probably be adding it to my inventory on Bookmooch, so let me know.
I'll try to get "Revolutionary Road" out, sometime this week, so make sure you send along your address and thanks again for sending "Good People". Take care, Porchy!

As a 'tiquer, I have a question for you: What would you think of the idea of some cozy, romantic mysteries set in an antique mall? Sleuth being a widow whose husband left her a house full of Stuff, a very little money, and a broken heart? Whose passion for justice leads her to solve his murder (for such it was, although the harried police chief with the distinguished profile and twenty extra pounds says it was simply an accident) by listening to all the dealers in the mall, going to appraise households of Stuff that people want to rid themselves of in this recession and overhearing/snooping in the stuff?
My dearly departed sis was such a woman, though she never had a stall in a mall. We haunted those places! We went to the Wendy shows! We went to Canton, Texas, on First Weekends and to Round Top for the fair. I think this would be a wonderful way to offer a memorial to her, and still do something I want to do?
What'cha think? Let me know. And good luck with the doc today!

I just read your review of When the Wind Blows. Don't give up on James Patterson. I have read 25 of his books and When the Wind Blows and You've Been Warned are two of his worst. I really like The women's Murder Club series. I did really like The Quickie also and if you liked that you would like Honeymoon too. I absolutely loved Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (although not a mystery.) I haven't read the Maximum Ride series, but When the Wind Blows is billed as before Maximum Ride, so you may want to avoid that. His Alex Cross series is good too. Several of the earlier ones were made into movies.

I haven't been reading much girly literature lately. Well, I'm reading a book by Emily Giffin, who I adore. You must read books by her.

I love books that have a beach setting, especially low-country. Have you read Dorothea Benton Frank? Some of her books are excellent. I vacationed in Nags Head last year and loved it.
My next-up book I snagged at the library today is "I Shall Not Want" by Julia Spencer-Fleming. It's new out this month.

So glad to hear that someone else felt the same way, I don't feel so strange now! I'm not a writer, I would imagine it's got to be hard to write something amazing everytime, but I would hate to get the rep. of becoming a "formula" writer. I just started Lisa Unger's newest, "Black Out" - it is going to be good. Since it sounds like you like suspense you might try her, if you haven't already. Her 1st two were great. What did you think of "The Wednesday Sisters"? I got that through ER in April - I thought it was good maybe 3 1/2 stars.
Thank you for reading my review - that was my 1st one and I was nervous!
