Welcome to the group elizabethanne!

How do you feel about Robert Heinlein novels? I have Stranger in a Strange Land sitting on my bookshelf but have yet to read it. Have you read that? Did you enjoy Have Space Suit - Will Travel?

Good luck with the challenge!

Ah, lure of the infinitely addictive LT-challenges! :) Welcome!!

Hi! Welcome to the challenge. I am having a lot of fun here.... I hope enjoy your challenge!

Thank you all - I feel so welcome!!

Confession - this is the first Heinlein book I have read. Although I too have Stranger in a Strange Land (as well as a few others) sitting on my TBR shelf. I'm working on finishing up my 999 challenge and this helped in my SciFi/Fantasy category. I enjoyed it very much and may use one or two more Heinlein novels to fill out my 999.

Welcome, elizabethanne. I think you're going to enjoy it here. I am glad you liked Heinlein. I just ordered Stranger.....which will be my first Heinlein. Happy reading!

Haven't read Have Spacesuit... yet but it's scheduled for my 1010 Category challenge. I hope Stranger in a Strange Land won't put either of you off from reading more of his works. In a lot of respects it's very much a book of its time but its just one of those titles that seem to polarise people's opinions. Personally, I'm in the like it camp but it's not my favourite of his. That distinction goes to The Moon is a Harsh Mistress closely followed by Friday.

Thanks for the tip Wolfy!

Finally updating my list!!

I added 3 books: Ben-Hur under titles and Jane Yolen and C.W. Gortner under authors.

Updated!!

Seven new books read in the past week!!!

Yay! One a day keeps the optometrist in business.

Updated!

I can't believe I haven't updated this in two months...I guess I've been busy reading.

Woah...time for an update...

Added 4 books to my titles list (D,I,L,and W) and 3 to my Author list (L,V, and W).

Still plugging away, but over halfway through.

Time to add two more books:

Naked Once More by Elizabeth Peters under titles and Into the Forest by Jean Hegland under authors. Both of these were great books!

Added three more books:

Kilmeny of the Orchard by L.M. Montgomery
Drake's Bay by Thomas Roberts
The Disapparation of James by Anne Ursu
