Hi Susie, I do love Juliet Marillier and I plan on eventurally reading all her books. I am just this last year or so starting to read fantasy and so far I have really enjoyed what I have read. I am going with "Fantasy" as one of my reading categories next year on the 1010 Challenge, so hopefully, will be able to fit her into that. Of course the only book of hers my library doesn't carry is Daughter of the Forest, so I'll have to be sure and order it soon. See you on the threads.

Heard a rumor that Diablo Cody is turning Sweet Valley into a movie. I saw you were weeding (on the message boards) and thought I'd let you know.

I just finished The Brothers Boswell last night. It was alright for me, but a bit slow in places. What did you think?

Noticed you liked Ellen Foster, 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's also a southern story about a disturbed young girl (and also a bit dark). 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 before you commit:

Thanks,

For some reason I wasn't thinking that S.S. was your real name. I guess that does make googling interesting! (And I'm flattered that you think that my library is interesting.) I see that you are (?) from N.D.? My college roommate for my last semester was from Grand Forks. All kinds of connections here!
Since you read Bitter Blood, you might find this exchange between Susie N. and one of my friends of interest. SSN was complaining about how boring her summer would be because she would have to go to all of those dreadful debutante parties and "come out." Friend gave her a blank stare and said, "Oh really? I had always understood that coming out was a courtesy that a girl did for her parents in allowing them to formally introduce her to their friends." SSN had no reply to that. I sound as though I'm indifferent to her sad life, and that's not true. I did see her as typical of one type of Queens girl though - moneyed, spoiled, undirected. (And obviously, I didn't really know her.) Apparently, her background made her easy pickings for a determined person like her cousin.
I see that we share I Capture the Castle which I just finished and enjoyed every word of! I'm a Diana Gabaldon fan too; she's my only romance indulgence.

Welcome to LT! I saw your name at "Choose a Book You Haven't Read," and was a little intrigued - especially since I see that you read mysteries. I wonder whether you read true crime? Susie Sharpe Newsome was a just barely college acquaintance of mine back in the mid-60's, whose horrific murder-ridden life was written in a true crime offering Bitter Blood by Jerry Bledsoe. I thought you might be interested in looking it up. Just thought you might be interested.

Welcome to LT and thanks for marking my library as "interesting". I see that many of the books we share seem to be favorites of us both - Garden Spells, The Kite Runner, The Historian, and the Outlander series. I know you will enjoy your time spent here at LT, but be ready for your Wish List to grow by leaps and bounds! Hope to see you on the threads. Happy reading, Judy

We only share one book but I see that there are many in your library that I would find interesting. You may want to join my thread.
