About my librarySomeone asked me about the range of books in my library - here's my explanation:
I work as a programmer (IT books); I like to eat (cookery books); sometimes I think about the future (philosophy and science fiction); I like some light relief (crime, adventure and romance).

Just thought I'd let you know I have now finished the Kushiel's Dart trilogy.
Halfway through the first volume that you so generously sent me as a Bookmooch, I wasn't sure what I thought - but I pushed on and very soon was hooked. I'd ordered the next two books before I finished the first volume. I ploughed through these in short order and finished all three in not quite three weeks - which is some serious reading when you considered the size of the books.
When I put the last one down, I was disappointed that I would have to elave behind this complex world and the characters that had captured my imagination. Then I found out there is another trilogy - which I have just ordered from Book Depository, along with everything else she has written.
You can see my reviews on my shelf.
So thanks once again - through your assistance I ahve found another author whoi has leapt onto my 'must read' list!
regards
Jan

Here's a good summary of the connections.... note that it doesn't seem to be a purly a romance (possibly why the pseudonym was used??).
"This is really a historical novel, not a traditional romance. Both Vladimir Karachev and Boris Kalinsky have secondary romances that begin in The Ice King and conclude in Tatya's Story. Vassily Karachev is the hero of Tatya's Story.The story is an intergral part of Dinah Dean's Russian series despite the fact that it was published under the name Jane Hunt."

Romania? The people are lovely. The roads are horrible. There is a lot of new construction in our area and a result is that we have frequently interrupted phone, electricity and internet service. Our water pump is electric too so we have bottles of water in each bathroom for use in case we need to flush when there isn't water! Food shopping is challenging, because of the labels (Romanian, some Slavic language, Turkish, etc.) and the limited choices.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Which reminds me to ask you if you have read two very different authors, who are favorites of mine. Have you read any of the Liaden series by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller? Carpe Diem is the first of their series. www.korval.com is their website. Another author I really enjoy is Jasper Fforde, both his Thursday Next and his Nursery Crimes series.

Yes, the gardening books take up a lot of space. I haven't even got them all on LT yet. Not to mention the rest of the collection.
Hope to write more gardening/self-sufficiency reviews as time allows.
You have some very nice gardening books yourself - is there an envious grin symbol? :)

In the normal course of things, I might look at your profile and catalog because of shared works in general, or a shared obscure work, or because of something you had posted in a forum. Then you would get a message like this:
-- start of example --
Looking at your library because of our shared works; I see that one of your books by Dorothy Sayers, Ask a Policeman, has "L., Sayers Dorothy" in its author field, rather than "Sayers, Dorothy L.". This separates it from the others, when sorting by author, and for this and other reasons I suspect it is not what you want.
A further minor point about your Sayers books is that some of them have the middle initial L with and some without the period, "L" or "L.". This is doing no harm, except that, depending on how you formulate a search for books by Sayers, you might get confusing results.
-- end of example --
It took me well under a minute from opening your catalog to noticing these discrepancies. It took much longer to write a message about it. If Tim forbids this, I will save time - not in your case, of course, because you actively invited it, but generally.

If you like Regency romances at all, you should like A Spanish Bride. It's a bit old-fashioned, but very good.

Unfortunetly we don't own an Aga, we were looking for recipes to use with our slowcooker. It doesn't get used much, the recipes are all very similar, chuck in meat and veggies cover with liquid of choice and leave till cooked!
I was fortunate enough to be sent to India on a business trip and really loved the food. It is difficult to describe, but very different from what we get at an 'Indian' restaurant here. However the reciples in the cookbooks show why - the wife stays at home and cooks all day making several different dishes that go towards one meal. ALso requires alot of guords and other ingrediants that are hard to find.
What's the issue with Todd (Mccaffery)'s book that you haven't finished it? I haven't bought it because in general I find different authors are poor at continuing an established series. But I'm interested to know if that is the case this time?

Thank you! Yes, Far from the Sodding Crowd is great fun and there are quite a few places in there that I've been to (we always went camping in the UK for family holidays so have visited all sorts of tourist 'attractions'!). I keep intending to get the first one, too (B******s to Alton Towers) as I like the authors' style.
Looking forward to getting to know you!

Thanks, sounds like I should dig that up; would be interesting to get an idea what the country was like before the Opium Wars.

R3 is brand new to me.. LT user 'antimuzak' clued me in on it and I'm pretty glad he did; now I can listen to Celtic music and have the commentary in Gaelic! Not that I understand Gaelic but... (bwahaha)
Not currently in thrall...My last master, Io, would have been too upset by my move to California a few years ago, and she is now running my sister's household. I've moved back to Oregon since, but my brother-in-law would lose all purpose in life if she left him now. My current land-lady is controlled by five or six, and I'm a little worried about the neighborhood population if a new kitten adopts me now. One of these days tho....
As for my catalog: I've been ill for a week or so, and had little else to do. My tags and review will have to trickle out a little slower, since I've got to get back on the treadmill pretty soon...

Yep, I have. Only have a few in my library now, tho. Sigh.

I'm curious that you are in the Weyr and Hold group without having cataloged any of the Pern books? Are they still to be added?
