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:

Sparhalke,
The painter who did my picture is named E J Hughes. He's in his 90s now and still the picture of the ex-pat Brit living in BC: always dapper in tweeds etc. He had a huge retrospective at the Vancouver Art Gallery a few years back. The scene is of Gabriola Island, BC (near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island), but looks almost exactly like the place where I spent childhood summers and now take my kids. I've had a reproduction on canvas hanging in my bedroom for about 15 years. My children know that BC looks like E J Hughes (for the shore) + Emily Carr (for the forests)!

Hello again! :) I think my favorite book is probably Moby Dick. I also loved Jane Eyre and The Poisonwood Bible and The Lord of the Rings. :D Oh, and there is something about Silas Marner. I really like it. :D

Now, I'm very interested in starting "I, Keturah"...but I'm in the middle of 3 other books already!!!! LOL.

My knowledge appetite is larger than the amount of time I have to read! :) I do this every summer. I get a bazillion books to read and go crazy trying to read them all at once. heehee.

Hi! I noticed that you gave "I, Keturah" by Wolff 5 stars. I picked it up at a Salvation Army store, but I haven't been able to read it yet. It looks really good. Sounds like you agree! :)

I like your library quite a lot...I'm off to browse it a bit more! :D
