About my libraryI've been steadily downsizing my personal library (and everything else). Because of this, the number of books in my library won't be getting much larger; I say "much" larger, because I still seem to have weak moments when I allow my car to turn into bookstore parking lots--a fatal move, every time. Most of my reading will come from existing books that I haven't yet read, or from the public library. For now, at least, I'm not recording those as part of my library...but I may change my mind...I do that a lot.

As for what I read; right now I'm liking historical mysteries, African novels and African biographies, travel writing, books about books, some fantasy

No problem on your delay. My copy arrived today, finally! I won't get to it until I finish my current read - Eat, Pray, Love (I'm a little behind the world on my reading list, but I'm not one to read what everyone else is reading WHILE they're reading it... :D)

Thanks for your response, and I believe I'll be feeling the same wrap-up remorse!
It was a while ago you mentioned Inkdeath in the "what are you reading now?" category of the 40 somethings... Did you love the ending? (Don't spoil it! My paperback copy still hasn't arrived yet so I'm patiently waiting and waiting and WAITING! *sigh*

I'm so sad it is coming to an end!

Hi Robin,

I really like this part of Europe, Poland is really great as well, but I haven't been to many places there. My job is interesting and I always have a lot to do! Sometimes I don't enjoy it (when the students won't talk or won't stop talking, things like that) but I have had a lot of wonderful experiences as well. I love being here :)
Welcome to The Highly Rated Book Group!

We are so glad you could join us again for some more great book reads!

Arrrggghhh robbieg_422, methinks ye might be too nice to join me crew, but somes say nice is good, so climb aboard so ye's can teach me rougher pirates a thing or two.

Ye seem to have good Pirate instincts, since ye have our voyage plans in hand.

Since ye walked the gangplank here, ye are now a member of me crew, and if ye try to escape....well, ye won't be thinkin' that will ye? A nice feller like you needs to stay and show other Pirates yer plans and the way to treat The Captain. Methinks ye might be the ship's next Navigator, and win part of The Treasure Chest if ye be keepin' thems nice words around during the voyage. Better finish that Rum quick, as we's be 'bout to sail.
Hi,

Well, we share about 5% of our books so I suppose that is quite a lot given we live in different countries. We

I suspect recording life's books not so difficult as it sounds given five years too young to read, further ten too busy playing, following three too busy moaning about how many essays I had to write to read much.

Please keep in touch.

Thanks for the welcome. ALthough 40 still waiting for the fabulous!
Hi, Robin. It was nice to hear from you. I just retired last spring from being k-12 school librarian (media specialist). Like you said, we certainly don't do it for the big bucks! As for my library, browse away. I'm a bit of a hoarder. I know I can get some of my favorites at the library - after all, I put them there! - but I like to have my own copies. Welcome aboard the Good Ship Librarything. Mary Lou
