Been busy and haven't kept up here, but this time of year is great for reading..well, everytime of year is.

I still have One Thousand White Women and Songs in Ordinary Time

I know someone had requested those a while back, but I have lost( ok, accidently deleted) all my messages and would love to pass them on. Please PM me or have your name added to the list so I can contact you. Thanks.

Antje and Dolittle: Which of you is the Nora Roberts fan? I have some followup books to some of the ones you listed in the series. I would love to share them with you if you are intersted

I need a new book to read, but there are so many to choose from.

What do you all recommend? Maybe I'll just start at the top of the list and work my way down???

baddessi: On that additional book list, the first 50 listed is mine. If there are any you want to read, just let me know!

Dolittle: there is, I'm compiling a list. I have some I want to send you as well. I'll send you a PM, thanks

baddessi: thanks, we may keep that post office busy..just remember to send them media mail, it's cheaper.

Dolittle: ok, thanks for the reminder : )

baddessi:

Hi Barb
Didn't you love One Thousand White Women?
The title conceals the historical content of the novel, so most people wouldn't pick it up.
But I loved it.
If there are no takers, send it back to me.
It is my book and I'll read it again...
 Songs in Ordinary Time  I have already read it twice
If anyone loves pathos, this is your novel.

I have at least 10 good books to add to the mix that I have read in the past 2 months.

We need to re-organize this site
Make one library alphebetically by author
Include all the books in everyone's lists.

There is so much to read..............

☼ajtgirl☼: sounds lie a good plan..I loved them all. I read your book Swan too and passed it on..

someone wanted the other two..I just can't remember who. I'll hang onto it for a little bit and see if they come forward, otherwise, I'll get your address and send them both back...

I think I probably have some to contribute as well...I have tons of books here, some really good ones.

baddessi: Swan is my book and I think that Scarlet Rose has it now unless she passed it on to someone else.

Bwild is the one that wanted to read those two books. Did he ever send you his address?

I wanted to read House of Sand and Fog and The Glass Castle but I have so many to catch up on now that it's ok not to send them.

Maybe we can get this book exchange started again.

Dolittle: oh thank you! It was Bwild that wanted them...I think I got an address from someone, but lost it when my messages got deleted..thanks- I'll send him a message.

And yes, it was your Swan book...and I loved it..sorry, mind muddled here...need to read more and exercize my brain

baddessi: That's ok, I liked Swan also. Didn't think I would at first.
There are so many good books to read, I will have to live forever to read them all!!

hello! i have just been recently reading again i am almost finished with my 3rd book.
1. maggie shayne's The Gingerbread Man; jayne ann krentz Smoke in Mirrors; Last Scene Alive, a Aurora Teagarden Mystery, by Charlaine Harris. any body want me to send? I used to be amandalove on here i am scarlet roses mom

I had to modify my book list, Angel was not written by Nora Roberts. Barbara Taylor Bradford wrote it...sorry about my mistake!!

Geez, I can't spell either!

Everyone needs to read the book Murder In Madison by CJ Paus.She is new author and this book will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you ask for more from her.

Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs

srnity:

Running with Scissors is one of My Favs too
I wonder where it is in the list
If you have a copy and want to add it to the library ask one of the mods

☼ajtgirl☼: That sounds like a great book. I haven't even seen it at the book stores yet.

A very good story, well-written, enjoyable to read

☼ajtgirl☼: I'm an avid library patron and get most (if not all) of the books I read from there (DVD's also) And if they don't have it, they'll borrow it for me from another county in the area & they're open seven days a week, what more could I ask?

srnity: yep- I'm with you on that one..and the price sure is right, innit?

"Grace (eventually) - Thoughts on Faith" by Anne Lamott......................loved it

By Emily Bronte, the one-novel wonder. It's one of those books on your reading list but you never get around to it. I did, and it was very worth it.

The Usurper: Yes! One of my favourites!

Mousetrap: :)

Tuesday:

Do you have an interest in Scottish history?

Tuesday:

The novel Outlander by Diana Gabaldon would be an interesting read for you then
It's the first in a series

☼ajtgirl☼: oooo I loved that book!

Tuesday: Nope....got my name on the list tho!!

Tuesday: It wasn't a problem girl...I found lots to read. I will send that to you.

Tuesday: Don't think I have....is it romance?

Tuesday: That would tax my poor little pea brain too much!!

Tuesday: Just the one book will be fine hon!
