I work at a small, independent publisher in North Carolina. I love to read and enjoy mostly literary fiction, although I can't resist a good mystery or horror novel every once in a while.

    Fasten your seatbelt for Catching Fire! It's another rip-snorter! When I get my hands on some extra copies of KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO and THE ASK AND THE ANSWER I'll send to you. You'll like those, too, I bet!

    Hi Angela,

    I love Kaye Gibbons and Dorothy Alison, so I'll take that as high praise indeed!

    I hope Santa is very good to you. Have a safe and wonderful holiday!

    Best,

    Jayne

    Thanks for your lovely note, Angela. It looks like we like the same sorts of books! I have a soft spot for independent publishers, especially since a small indie press published my poetry book. What do you do at John F. Blair?

    I should just put the Algebra book on the shelf, it's all I do anymore, but sometimes Stephen King's Duma Keys finds its way into my hands! When school is done, (couple more weeks) I have to read some Carl Sagan books I actually discovered here!!!

    While I was in college, I had other things that consumed my time. Boyfriend, classes, hiking up 14,000 ft. mountains, that kind of thing. *laugh* So, reading kinda got pushed to the wayside. It took me a long time to recover. But now? I can't get enough of it! Though currently, my real life is interrupting my reading time. But hopefully I'll have more time soon.

    Yea, most recently I've been reading a lot of young adult fiction. I think it is because they are easy. My life is complicated right now, so it is difficult to really delve into good writing.

    I've heard great things about a lot of the books you mentioned. I should give them a try. We'll see how the rest of this year pans out!

    Glad to meet someone else who has read the genius that is Raw Shark Texts. I named my beta Ludovician because of that book. *laugh*

    Hi, Angela--"On Chesil Beach" wasn't my favorite McEwan. "Atonement" remains his best for me thus far. I also liked "Saturday," though not as much. Take care, Leslie

    Hi, Angela--You're very welcome. It looks as though you have a bunch of nice ones to choose from. Just curious, if you want to share--what book did you just finish reading?

    I know, isn't it maddening??? I'm ready to storm Shelfari HQ.

    Alas, that doesn't work. I've tried and tried. I'm at the breaking point with 20 of these questions a day.

    I haven't finished reading Nim Chimpsky (although I read the original Terrace book when I first started my research). It's in my "read" shelf only because I thought I was adding to to my "currently reading" area. I'm about 2/3 of the way through, and, yes, I am enjoying it.
